[389-users] Re: FIPS 140-2 and dirsrv-admin

[William Brown]

This could be in "report an issue" territory I think in that case. Seems easy to reproduce.

Rebooted the system and the dirsrv-admin process started right up.  DISA hardening requires FIPS enabled OS.  So this may be one of those issues that will come back again.  In the meantime, we will look at finding a waiver.

However, the admin console (dirsrv-admin) is complaining the password credentials are not valid for the NSS FIPS 140-2 DB even through the exact same credentials are presented to the SLAPD instances.  I am using a pin.txt file in the correct format for both SLAPD and DIRSRV-ADMIN.
