Subject: [us...@httpd] SSLFIPS Directive

Apache 2.2.17
OpenSSL 0.9.8n FIPS
PHP 5.3.2
libssh2 1.2.6

So, I have a web application where the front-end is Flex/AS3 and the back-end 
is a mix of PHP/C. PHP is compiled with the libssh2 library and the pecl 
extension to enable the ssh2 functionality. I use the ssh2 functions within PHP 
for communication between systems. For instance, the interface allows you to 
add another product of ours for communication with our primary product. 
Communication works via SSH, I'm not going to get into the details of that. 
Anyway, what happens when I introduce the SSLFIPS directive into my httpd.conf, 
apache child processes are crashing. This happens even if the directive's value 
is set to off. However, if I don't introduce the directive, everything works as 
expected.

We are required by government customers to offer FIPS.
