Use this feature only if you are sure that your environment requires this restriction.
Sentinel, AppManager, and Secure Configuration Manager support Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 communication among the product components. You can configure the UNIX agent and UNIX Agent Manager to restrict all communication to FIPS certified encryption algorithms. Be aware that when you configure UNIX Agent Manager to use only these communication algorithms, UNIX Agent Manager cannot fully communicate with any UNIX agent that does not also use these algorithms. A component that is using FIPS algorithms might be able to send information to a component that is not using those algorithms, but cannot receive information. Also, if you configure UNIX Agent Manager to use these algorithms, you cannot deploy a UNIX agent to a remote computer.
