How To
Summary
Will Netcool Impact Fix Pack 28 (7.1.0-TIV-NCI-FP0028) installation work with FIPS-compliant mode being previously enabled?
Objective
Steps
To disable FIPS before upgrading to FP28:
$IMPACT_HOME/install/security/configImpactSSL.sh disable <impact admin passwd> -fips
Once the upgrade has been completed, re-enable FIPS:
$IMPACT_HOME/install/security/configImpactSSL.sh enable <impact admin passwd> -fips
Additional Information
An indication the FP28 upgrade failed, due to FIPS being enabled, would likely result in this type of message in the $IMPACT_HOME/wlp/usr/servers/<Impact Server>/logs/messages.log:
[2/28/23 6:59:55:183 PST] 0000005f com.ibm.ws.logging.internal.impl.IncidentImpl I FFDC1015I: An FFDC Incident has been created: "java.lang.NullPointerException com.ibm.ws.channel.ssl.internal.SSLConnectionLink 238" at ffdc_23.02.28_06.59.55.0.log
