Thanks Rainer,

I put the statement "SSLFIPS on" in the global context section of httpd-ssl.conf file. When I started apache, I got a message in error_log:

# cat error_log 
[Thu Aug 23 10:30:03.014417 2012] [ssl:emerg] [pid 3190:tid 139842618164992] AH01885: FIPS mode failed

No difference between 2.4.2 and 2.4.3 though.

In order for the message to be written, your build needs support for the 
directive. This is included in 2.4.2 and 2.4.3 by default, but could be 
disabled if during the build HAVE_FIPS is not defined. This define in 
turn is set if the OpenSSl detected during configure is of version >= 
0.9.8a and has FIPS support built in.

I would first check for differences between your builds of 2.4.2 and 
2.4.3 by adding SSLFips Off to the config. If FIPS support is not 
compiled into Apache, then it will fail to start and complain about an 
unknown directive SSLFips.

If adding the directive works for both, try setting it to On in both 
cases and check the startup messages for FIPS mode messages.

Regards,

Rainer
