Sorry to ask such a simple question, but I have been unable to
successfully run JSS in FIPs mode. I am using the binary distribution
for:
JSS 4.2.5
NSPR 4.6.4
NSS 3.11.4
The following (very) simple Java program
import org.mozilla.jss.CryptoManager;
public class SimpleTest4 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
System.out.println("Start");
CryptoManager.InitializationValues values = new
CryptoManager.InitializationValues("c:\\test\\db");
values.fipsMode =
CryptoManager.InitializationValues.FIPSMode.ENABLED;
CryptoManager.initialize(values);
System.out.println("Finish");
}
}
Throws:
Exception in thread "main" java.security.GeneralSecurityException:
Failed to tog
gle FIPS mode
at org.mozilla.jss.CryptoManager.enableFIPS(Native Method)
at org.mozilla.jss.CryptoManager.initialize(CryptoManager.java:
856)
at SimpleTest4.main(SimpleTest4.java:13)
If I remove the values.fipsMode =
CryptoManager.InitializationValues.FIPSMode.ENABLED; line the program
executes and creates the 3 db files in c:\test\db.
I have larger pieces of code that all run fine as long as I don't try
to set FIPSMode.
I'm running with Windows XP. the jss4.jar file is on the classpath
and the directories containing the nspr and nss libs are on my path.
Any help would be appreciated.
