Starting with version 4.2, BlueZone has the option of supporting FIPS Mode.  BlueZone is complainant with Federal Information Processing Standard 140-2 - Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules.

By default, the FIPS Mode feature is turned off.  To enable FIPS Mode, use the following procedure.

Configuration Method: Manual Configuration

Feature Scope: Site Level Feature

Procedure

  1. On the web server, navigate to the desired Site that you wish to change.

For example:

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MySite

 

  1. Locate and display the contents of the \template folder.

  2. Locate the default.ini file and edit it with Notepad.

  3. Locate the FIPSMode=No entry towards the end of the [BlueZone] section.

  4. Change the No value to Yes and save the file.

Any new Launch Folders that are created from this point on, will have the FIPS Mode Feature enabled for all Sessions.  If you have already created one or more Launch Folders, you will have to go to each existing Launch Folder, and edit the default.ini file, changing the FIPSMode=No to Yes.
