Enabling FIPS Level Security

The Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 validated cryptographic modules are used by the US federal government as a security regulation standard.

Host Access for the Cloud supports this standard and you can easily enable FIPS mode by adding a property in the Admin Console's Cluster Management interface to the hacloud-session-server service using these values:

  • key = com.attachmate.integration.container.FIPS.enabled
  • value = true

Redeploy the service. Click ellipsis associated with the hacloud-session-server service, and click Redeploy All.

You can verify that FIPS in enabled by looking at the log file.

  1. Open the Admin Console
  2. Select Host Access for the Cloud
  3. Click ellipsis associated with the hacloud-session-server service and choose Download Logs.
  4. Verify that FIPS mode is set to true; FIPS mode: true.
