Enabling FIPS Mode in 
BEMS

BEMS-Core
BEMS-Mail
BEMS-Docs
BEMS-Connect
, and 
BEMS-Presence
 services can be configured to use FIPS 140-2 (U.S. Federal Information Processing Standards) compliant algorithms for cryptographic operations. When FIPS-compliance mode is enabled on one 
BEMS
 instance in a cluster, all instances in the cluster are enabled. To enable this feature in the cluster, all 
BEMS
 nodes must be running the same version of 
BEMS
 (for example, 
BEMS
 2.12 or later). By default, FIPS 140-2 compliant mode is disabled. 
BEMS
 doesn't verify if the OS that hosts the 
BEMS-Docs
 service is running in FIPS 140-2 compliant mode.
