FIPS enabled kernels in your enviroment?
Hi Everyone,
I have been working more and more with customers that need to have FIPS compliance in their environment.
I was wondering how many of you may be doing that, how you achieved compliance and you would care to share some tips/tricks and other items you may have had difficulty with and overcame?

Thanks team!

Hey Jim! I'm actually working through something with one of our Strategic Customers and their FIPS-enabled RHEL6 systems right now. It's a really interesting space. FIPS is very wide-spread in the Public Sector and for folks really wanting their systems hardened.
Another good reference for FIPS and RHEL is: https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/solutions/106673
I'd also love to hear customers' stories about how they're keeping compliant and maybe even some great risk adversion stories how FIPS mode and certification might have helped avoid a problem.
