I am attempting to enable FIPS mode on my windows machine, running glassfish_v21 Enterprise with HADB. I am doing this as a way to test the process on a machine with less collateral damage than on a Development Environment. However I receive an error when attempting to enable FIPS mode, below are the steps that I followed. I used modutils to change the password on the "NSS Certificate DB".
1) /lib/modutil -changepw "NSS Certificate DB" -dbdir /domains/domain1/config I change the password, and get a successful message. 2) /lib/modutil -dbdir /domains/domain1/config -fips true error: An I/O error occurred during security authorization. ERROR: Unable to switch to FIPS modes.
Also, when using MODUTILS does that “WARNING: Performing this operation while the browser is running could cause” always popup even when the Server is not running?
I appreciate any help you can offer.
