Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Mode (Omnissa Access FedRAMP Only)
Omnissa Access connector 24.12 supports Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 compliant algorithms.
To run the connector in FIPS mode, you must either perform a new installation of the connector, or upgrade a 22.05 or later connector that was installed in FIPS mode.
Omnissa Access connector does not support upgrading from a non-FIPS installation to a FIPS installation or from a FIPS installation to a non-FIPS installation. All connector versions prior to 22.05 are non-FIPS installations.
You cannot change the FIPS mode during upgrade. When you perform the upgrade by running the connector installer in graphical mode, the option to enable FIPS mode is not available. If you upgrade the connector in silent mode, any value you specify for the WS1_ENABLE_FIPS property is ignored.
Also be aware that you cannot change the FIPS mode after upgrade or installation.
All connector instances associated with your Omnissa Access tenant must either run in FIPS mode, or all must run in non-FIPS mode, regardless of which enterprise services are installed on them. You cannot deploy some connector instances in FIPS mode and others in non-FIPS mode.
Caution:
- Omnissa Access connector in FIPS mode is supported with Omnissa Access FedRAMP tenants only. Other types of tenants and on-premises Omnissa Access installations do not support the connector in FIPS mode.
- The Virtual App service component of Omnissa Access connector 24.12 does not support FIPS mode.
