Enable FIPS (Oracle ILOM Web)

The switch has a FIPS service that enables Oracle ILOM to use cryptographic algorithms in compliance with the FIPS 140-2 security standards issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). By default, FIPS is disabled. When you enable FIPS, some other services might not be available, for example, IPMI 1.5 sessions.

• LDAP cannot be enabled if FIPS is enabled.

• RADIUS cannot be enabled if FIPS is enabled.

• IPMI 1.5 sessions cannot be enabled if FIPS is enabled.

To enable FIPS, you must reboot the SP, which also clears the configuration.

1. Choose ILOM Administration→Management Access, and click the FIPS tab.
2. Select the Enabled checkbox for State.

   ---

   Note -  All configuration data will be removed on the next boot. The state cannot be modified if there is already a pending configuration reset.

3. Click Save.
4. Click Maintenance.
5. Click the Reset SP tab.
6. Click Reset SP.

   A pop-up window prompts you for confirmation.

7. Click OK.

   The SP is reset. Any active sessions are terminated.
