Use this topic to configure Federal Information Processing Standard Java Secure Socket Extension files.
Even though the IBMJSSEFIPS provider is still present, the runtime does not use this provider. If IBMJSSEFIPS is specified as a contextProvider, WebSphere Application Server automatically defaults to the IBMJSSE2 provider (with the IBMJCEFIPS provider) for supporting FIPS. When enabling the Use the United States Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) algorithms option on the server SSL certificate and key management panel, the runtime always uses IBMJSSE2, despite the contextProvider that you specify for SSL (IBMJSSE, IBMJSSE2 or IBMJSSEFIPS). Also, because FIPS requires the SSL protocol be TLS, the runtime always uses TLS when FIPS is enabled, regardless of the SSL protocol setting in the SSL repertoire. This simplifies the FIPS configuration in Version 8.0 because an administrator needs to enable only the Use the United States Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) algorithms option on the server SSL certificate and key management panel to enable all transports using SSL.
