FIPS-MODE-SETUP(8)                                          FIPS-MODE-SETUP(8)
NAME
       fips-mode-setup - Check or enable the system FIPS mode.
SYNOPSIS
       fips-mode-setup [COMMAND]
DESCRIPTION
       fips-mode-setup(8) is used to check and control the system FIPS mode.
       When enabling the system FIPS mode the command completes the
       installation of FIPS modules if needed by calling fips-finish-install
       and changes the system crypto policy to FIPS.
       Then the command modifies the boot loader configuration to add fips=1
       and boot=<boot-device> options to the kernel command line.
       When disabling the system FIPS mode the system crypto policy is
       switched to DEFAULT and the kernel command line option fips=0 is set.
OPTIONS
       The following options are available in fips-mode-setup tool.
       o   --enable: Enables the system FIPS mode.
       o   --disable: Undo some of the FIPS-enablement steps (unsupported).
       o   --check: Checks the system FIPS mode status.
       o   --is-enabled: Checks the system FIPS mode status and returns
           failure error code if disabled (2) or inconsistent (1).
       o   --no-bootcfg: The tool will not reconfigure the boot loader, and,
           instead, will print the options that need to be added to the kernel
           command line. Exception: it still attempts executing zipl(8) on
           s390x, as the system might become unbootable otherwise.
