--- Comment #4 from William A. Rowe Jr. <wr...@apache.org> ---
Straightforward server.xml config;
<Listener SSLEngine="on"
          FIPSMode="on"
          className="org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener"/>


Since 1.0.1c Catalina error log now reports
  md5_dgst.c(74): OpenSSL internal error, assertion failed: Low level API call
to digest MD5 forbidden in FIPS mode!
and proceeds to exit before initialization can be completed.

>From OpenSSL 1.0.1c changelog;
  *) Low level digest APIs are not approved in FIPS mode: any attempt
     to use these will cause a fatal error. Applications that really want
     to use them can use the private_* version instead.
     [Steve Henson]

and from OpenSSL docs since antiquity, warning that this would happen someday;
  "Applications should use the higher level functions EVP_DigestInit(3)
   etc. instead of calling the hash functions directly."
