Enabling FIPS Level Security

The Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 validated cryptographic modules are used by the US federal government as a security regulation standard. Reflection ZFE supports this standard and you can easily enable FIPS mode by changing a property setting in the session server and in the management component.

To enable FIPS mode:

There is a container.conf file located in the Reflection ZFE session server:

<install_directory>\sessionserver\conf\container.conf

  1. Open container.conf.

  2. Set the value of the following property from False to True: wrapper.java.additional.x =-Dcom.attachmate.integration.container.FIPS.enabled=true.

  3. Restart the server.
