Thanks a lot Anil for the detailed readme, and Martin for pointing me to it.

We have done most of these configs. Are these steps sufficient to ensure
that all incoming and outgoing TLS connections are FIPS compliant?

Or is there also a need to compile an APR connector with an underlying
implementation of openssl?

Is the APR approach just an alternative to the JSSE approach covered in
Anil's readme, and both hold equally good to be FIPS compliant?

Thanks,
Avik
