FIPS Mode Detection

To determine whether or not CA Identity Manager is operating in FIPS mode or non-FIPS mode, use the Identity Manager Environment status page.

To view the status page, enter the following URL in a browser:

http://server_name/iam/im/status.jsp
server_name

Determines the fully qualified domain name of the server where CA Identity Manager is installed, for example, myserver.mycompany.com. In this example, the complete URL is:

http://myserver.mycompany.com/iam/im/status.jsp

The FIPS status is displayed at the bottom of the page.

Note: You can also check if CA Identity Manager is operating in FIPS mode by locating the following key file:

/config/com/netegrity/config/keys/FIPSkey.dat 

If this file exists, CA Identity Manager is operating in FIPS mode.

The FIPSkey.dat key file is created by the password tool utility, pwdtools.bat (or pwdtools.sh), during Identity Manager installation.
