FIPS Encryption Libraries

In FIPS-only mode CA Access Control uses the CAPKI encryption library. On UNIX systems it uses the OS encryption library for password encryption (“crypt” method). In regular mode, CA Access Control uses the CAPKI 4.1.2 encryption library in addition to the non-FIPS encryption libraries.
