The OPENSSL_FIPS=1 environment variable will enable FIPS mode for an

Subject: Openssl Command line in FIPS mode

 

Hi, 
The openssl User-Guide only mentions about how to create an application
in FIPS mode ( by calling FIPS_mode_set (1) ). The question is that is
it possible to have the openssl command line tool (generated from
openssl-fips-1.1.1 ) be in FIPS mode ? If yes, please can someone shed
some light on this ?

Thank you.
