How To Verify FIPS Mode Support

FIPS Mode is enabled by your BlueZone Administrator.  To determine if FIPS Mode is enabled on a particular machine, follow this procedure.

Procedure

  1. Launch the BlueZone emulator that you wish to check.

  2. From the BlueZone Menubar choose Session::Configure, then click the Configure button.  The Telnet Properties dialog will be displayed.

  3. Click the About tab.  The About dialog will be displayed.

Look for the words "FIPS Mode Enabled" which will be located directly under the SSL information.  If FIPS Mode is not enabled, you will see the words"FIPS Mode Disabled".

IMPORTANT!  If your company or government agency requires FIPS Mode Support and it is not enabled, see Enabling FIPS Mode to rectify the problem.
