How do I enable FIPS mode in containers?
Issue
- FIPS is enabled enabled on the host system, but how can I ensure my containers are running with FIPS enabled?
- What do we need to do to have the container run in FIPS mode?
- If an SSH client is launched in a container, the container does not report
FIPS mode initialized.
