Enabling FIPS mode from EAServer Manager and Security Manager

You can enable or disable FIPS on EAServer from EAServer Manager. Or use the standalone Security Manager to enable or disable FIPS in client-side applications, such as PowerBuilder, stand-alone Java, C++, CORBA, Web server redirectors, and so on.

Expand the EAServer Manager (or Security Manager) icon, highlight the Cryptographic Modules folder, and select the FIPS mode icon. A dialog box displays Enabled or Disabled and allows you to change the setting.

StepsEnabling FIPS from EAServer Manager or Security Manager

  1. Select the Certificates folder.

  2. Select the Cryptographic Modules folder. Enter the PIN that allows you to connect to the EAServer’s PKCS #11 token. The default value is “sybase”.

  3. Right-click the FIPS mode icon and select Properties. Click the Enable FIPS mode check box to enable FIPS.

  4. Restart each server or Web server (for redirector plug-ins) for which you want to enable FIPS. If there are multiple EAServers, you must restart each one to enable FIPS. The same is true if you disable FIPS.
