1. Copy bc-fips-<VERSION>.jar and bctls-fips-<VERSION>.jar into the <DOTTEST_INSTALL_DIR>/bin/dottest/java/jars directory.

2. Use keytool to convert the cacerts file to the FIPS-compliant BCFKS format.
   1. Open the console and execute the following commands:

      Code Block

      cd <DOTTEST_INSTALL_DIR> move bin\dottest\Jre_x64\lib\security\cacerts bin\dottest\Jre_x64\lib\security\cacerts.pkcs12 bin\dottest\Jre_x64\bin\keytool.exe -importkeystore -srckeystore bin\dottest\Jre_x64\lib\security\cacerts.pkcs12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -destkeystore bin\dottest\Jre_x64\lib\security\cacerts -deststoretype BCFKS -providername BCFIPS -providerclass org.bouncycastle.jcajce.provider.BouncyCastleFipsProvider -providerpath bin\dottest\java\jars\bc-fips-<VERSION>.jar -srcstorepass changeit -deststorepass changeit

   2. Open the dottestcli.jvm file in the <DOTTEST_INSTALL_DIR>\etc directory, and insert the following line:

      Code Block
      -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=changeit

3. Save your changes.

4. Open the java.security file in the <DOTTEST_INSTALL_DIR>/bin/dottest/Jre_x64/conf/security/ directory and make the following changes: 

   1. Set the list of security providers by commenting out all existing properties named security.provider.<number>. and inserting the following lines:

      Code Block
      security.provider.1=org.bouncycastle.jcajce.provider.BouncyCastleFipsProvider security.provider.2=org.bouncycastle.jsse.provider.BouncyCastleJsseProvider fips:BCFIPS security.provider.3=SUN

   2. Change key and trust manager factory algorithms for the javax.net.ssl package to PKIX.

      Code Block
      ssl.KeyManagerFactory.algorithm=PKIX ssl.TrustManagerFactory.algorithm=PKIX

   3. Change the default keystore type to fips and disable the compatibility mode for JKS and PKCS12 keystore types.

      Code Block
      keystore.type=fips keystore.type.compat=false

   4. (Linux only) Add the NativePRNGNonBlocking algorithm to the list of known strong SecureRandom implementations:

      Code Block
      securerandom.strongAlgorithms=NativePRNGNonBlocking:SUN,NativePRNGBlocking:SUN,DRBG:SUN

   5. Allow only FIPS-approved algorithms:

      Code Block
      org.bouncycastle.fips.approved_only=true

5. Save your changes.

6. Open the java.policy file in the <DOTTEST_INSTALL_DIR>/bin/dottest/Jre_x64/conf/security/ directory and insert the following permissions into the default domain:

   Code Block
   permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "accessClassInPackage.sun.security.internal.spec"; permission org.bouncycastle.crypto.CryptoServicesPermission "tlsAlgorithmsEnabled";

7. Save your changes.

8. Open the logging.properties file in the <DOTTEST_INSTALL_DIR>/bin/dottest/Jre_x64/conf/ directory and insert the following Bouncy Castle logger configuration:

   Code Block
   org.bouncycastle.jsse.provider.DisabledAlgorithmConstraints.level=SEVERE org.bouncycastle.jsse.provider.PropertyUtils.level=SEVERE org.bouncycastle.jsse.provider.ProvTlsClient.level=SEVERE

9. Save your changes.
