Nexpose Security Scanner Cannot SSH Into FIPS-Enabled Servers.

Solution Unverified - Updated -

The Nexpose security scanning software cannot SSH into servers to conduct its security sweep.  Those remote servers had been made FIPS 140-2 compliant.  Attempts to SSH from the Nexpose-running RHEL server using RHEL's OpenSSH client to those remote servers were successful.
