Here is some more information: 1. fips_mode_set(1) is failing always if I run my application on a virtual machine through VMWare console. fips_test_suite.exe does not show any failures. Error String: error:2D06906F:lib(45):func(105):reason(111) Error Code: 755404911 2. fips_mode_set(1) works fine and is successful if I run same application (same binaries) on same virtual machine but now through Microsoft Terminal Server Client (RDP) instead of VMWare console. I know this is strange but I am yet to derive why this behavior is observed. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
