Operating Oracle ILOM in FIPS Compliance Mode

As of Oracle ILOM firmware release 3.2.4, the Oracle ILOM CLI and web interface provide a configurable mode for Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) Level 1 compliance. When this mode is enabled, Oracle ILOM provides cryptographic algorithms in compliance with the FIPS 140-2 security standards for protecting system sensitive or valuable data.

The FIPS mode State and Status properties in Oracle ILOM are disabled by default. For further details about these properties, as well as to understand the effect the FIPS mode functionality can have on other Oracle ILOM features, see the following:
