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 [Thu Aug 23 10:30:03.014546 2012] [ssl:emerg] [pid 3190:tid 139842618164992] SSL Library Error: error:2D06B06F:FIPS routines:FIPS_check_incore_fingerprint:fingerprint does not match [Thu Aug 23 10:30:03.014564 2012] [ssl:emerg] [pid 3190:tid 139842618164992] AH02312: Fatal error initialising mod_ssl, exiting.

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?

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.
