How to Switch to FIPS-Preferred Mode

You can switch from the FIPS-only mode to the FIPS-preferred mode if you want to open a password-protected DNA file created using the previous releases of CA DMM. Perform one of the following to switch to FIPS-preferred mode:

• Reinstall CA DMM and select the FIPS-Preferred mode
• Change the Settings.xml file in the install_path of CA DMM to match the Settings.xml file of a FIPS-preferred installation.
