Installation Considerations Related to FIPS

The following installation considerations apply when you are installing CA ITCM in one of the FIPS modes:

All the DSM components on a computer use the same FIPS mode. For example, if you are installing an asset management agent on a computer that already has the Release 12.8 software delivery agent, the former will operate in the same FIPS mode as the latter.
All the manager components, such as engine, web services, Web Console, and Reporter, must use the same FIPS mode that the manager uses.
For clustered deployments, you can select the FIPS mode only for the first node; all the other nodes operate in the same mode as the first node.
