SSHkeys, update the configuration of HTTPD, SSHD, ADSAP2d and SNMPD files and test
the integrity of the FIPSObject Module. Once the reboot is complete, the console server will
accept SSH and HTTPSconnections using only FIPS-approved ciphers.
When FIPS is enabled the following restrictions apply:
For SSH sessions:
Protocol version 1 will be disabled.
Triple-DES CBS and AES 128/192/256 CBSare the only encryption ciphers that
will be accepted.
HMAC-SHA1 and HMAC-SHA1-96 are the only message integrity algorithms
that will be accepted.
Only RSAkeys 1024 to 16384 bits will be accepted.
HTTPSsessions will accept only the SSL v 3.1(TLSv1) protocol to establish the
SSLtunnel with one of the following encryption ciphers:
AES-256-SHA
AES-128-SHA
Triple DESSHA (DES-CBC3-SHA)
SNMPversion 3 requests will be accepted when authentication is SHAand the
encryption cipher is AES.
