Configure Federal Information Processing Standard Compliant
Encryption
You can enable or disable Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140–2 compliant cryptography for
inbound and outbound vRealize Automation appliance network trac.
Changing the FIPS seing requires a vRealize Automation restart. FIPS is disabled by default.
Procedure
1 Log in as root to the vRealize Automation appliance management interface.
hps://vrealize-automation-appliance-FQDN:5480
2 Click vRA  > Host .
3 Near the upper right, click the buon to enable or disable FIPS.
When enabled, inbound and outbound vRealize Automation appliance network trac on port 443 uses
FIPS 140–2 compliant encryption. Regardless of the FIPS seing, vRealize Automation uses AES–256
compliant algorithms to protect secured data stored on the vRealize Automation appliance.
N This vRealize Automation release only partially enables FIPS compliance, because some internal
components do not yet use certied cryptographic modules. In cases where certied modules have not
yet been implemented, the AES–256 compliant algorithms are used.
4 Click Yes to restart vRealize Automation.
