Enabling FIPS

Last Updated : Feb 24, 2023 |

About this task

Use this procedure to enable FIPS mode in Proactive Outreach Manager. The following changes occur when you enable FIPS on POM:

  • The Fetch button on POM Trusted Certificates page is disabled. Use the Import button instead for any operations related to fetching the certificates.

  • Existing certificate stores convert from JKS format to BCFKS format as follows:

    • pomKeyStore converts to pomKeyStore.bks.

    • pomTrustStore converts to pomTrustStore.bks.

    POM uses the new formats.

If you enable FIPS on the primary server, you must enable FIPS on the auxiliary server.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the POM server as a root user.
  2. Stop the VPMS, POM, and APPSERVER processes.
  3. Run the following command on the POM server to enable FIPS:

    $POM_HOME/bin/POM_FIPS_setup.sh

  4. Reboot the POM system.
