FIPS Considerations

The Policy Server uses certified Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 compliant cryptographic libraries.

You must install the SOA Security Manager Policy Server in the default FIPS-compatibility mode. In FIPS-compatibility mode, the environment uses existing SOA Security Manager algorithms to encrypt sensitive data on the Policy Server.

Important!: SOA Security Manager does not support FIPS-migration mode or FIPS-only mode.
