There is no need for Postgres to do anything specific with FIPS at runtime, as long as the OS takes care of enabling FIPS and that OpenSSL is able to recognize that. So normally, you could just use a version of Postgres compiled with OpenSSL 1.0.2, and replace the libraries of OpenSSL with a version that is compiled with FIPS enabled as the APIs of OpenSSL used by Postgres are exactly the same for the non-FIPS and FIPS cases. -- Michael
