Enabling FIPS mode support

Starting with version 4.2, BlueZone has the option of supporting FIPS mode. By default, the FIPS mode feature is turned off.

To enable FIPS mode support:
  1. Open the BlueZone Desktop installation source directory.
  2. Open the setup.ini file in a text editor.
  3. In the [BZSetup] section, locate the FIPSMode=No entry.
  4. Change No to Yes.
  5. Save and close the file.
    After the installation is complete, FIPS mode is enabled for all BlueZone emulation clients and sessions.
If you already have BlueZone installed, you can check if FIPS mode support is enabled:
  1. Open the BlueZone emulator that you want to check.
  2. From the BlueZone menu bar, click Session Configure.
  3. Click Properties.
  4. Click the About tab.
  5. Under the SSL information, either FIPS Mode Enabled or FIPS Mode Disabled displays.
