InfoSphere Enterprise Records, Version 4.5.1.3+              

Configuring InfoSphere Enterprise Records for FIPS 140-2 mode

You must modify the java.security file to enable your IBM® InfoSphere™ Enterprise Records environment for Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 mode.

The location of the java.security file depends on your IBM JRE installation. For information, see Preparing to install InfoSphere Enterprise Records tools on servers other than the web application server. For example, for a Windows® WebSphere® Application Server installation, the default location is: C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\java\jre\lib\security.
Restriction: If you use FIPS 140 encryption in your environment you must install WebSphere Application Server 7 or WebSphere Application Server 7 Client on all servers running InfoSphere Enterprise Records components.

To modify the java.security file:

Modify the java.security file in the IBM JRE security folder by adding the following information:
security.provider. N =com.ibm.crypto.fips.provider.IBMJCEFIPS
Where N is the relative position of the entry in the list of security providers.
