Hi, My OpenSSL v1.0.1c was compiled as FIPS enabled. # /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl OpenSSL> version OpenSSL 1.0.1c-fips 10 May 2012 OpenSSL> I did compilation httpd v2.4.2 and v2.4.3 to use the above version of openssl. After I started httpd v2.4.3, I noticed in the error_log that FIPS is being disabled. Why or is there something that I did wrong for the mod_ssl option in the "configure" period? Thanks. # cat error_log [Wed Aug 22 14:37:24.561183 2012] [ssl:notice] [pid 23557:tid 140125173548800] AH01886: SSL FIPS mode disabled [Wed Aug 22 14:37:28.603319 2012] [:notice] [pid 23557:tid 140125173548800] ModSecurity for Apache/2.6.7 (http://www.modsecurity.org/) configured.
