FIPS 140-2 Migration Requirements

Ensure that your environment meets the minimum requirements before migrating the environment to only use FIPS-compliant algorithms. You may want to print the following to use as a checklist:

• Ensure that your entire SOA Security Manager environment, including the SDK, is upgraded to r12.1 SP3.
• If the environment contains custom agents, ensure that they are re-linked to the respective SDK.

  Note: More information on re-linking custom agents exists in the Programming Guide for Java.

• Ensure that at least one Policy Server in the environment is configured to enable Agent key generation.

  Note: More information on enabling agent key generation exists in the Policy Server Administration Guide.

• If the environment uses authentication schemes that involve X.509 client certificates, ensure that the user certificates are generated using only FIPS-compliant algorithms.
• If the Policy Servers are to connect to policy stores and/or user stores via SSL, ensure that the certificates used by the Policy Servers and the directory stores for the connection are FIPS-compliant.
