    Ticket 50099 - In FIPS mode, the server can select an unsupported password storage
scheme
    
    Bug Description:
    	When running in FIPS mode, DS selects SSHA512 as password storage schema else it
selects PBKDF2_SHA256.
    	The problem is that in FIPS mode it selects PBKDF2_SHA256 that is currently not
supported by NSS.
    	So DS fails to hash password
    	The scheme selection is done in the early phase of DS startup
(slapd_bootstrap_config).
    	To determine it is in FIPS mode, DS calls PK11_IsFIPS that requires that NSS has been
initialized.
    	The problem is that during slapd_bootstrap_config, NSS is not yet initialized and
PK11_IsFIPS returns
    	PR_FALSE even in FIPS mode
    
    Fix Description:
    	The fix consists to check if NSS is initialized. If it is initialize, then rely on
PK11_IsFIPS.
    	If it is not initialized then retrieve the FIPS mode from the system, assuming that
if system
    	is in FIPS mode, then NSS will be in FIPS mode as well
