FIPS 140-2 supported platforms

OpenText™ Analytics Database uses a certified OpenSSL FIPS 140-2 cryptographic module to meet the security standards set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for Federal Agencies in the United States or other countries.

OpenText™ Analytics Database uses a certified OpenSSL FIPS 140-2 cryptographic module to meet the security standards set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for Federal Agencies in the United States or other countries. The database links with the version of OpenSSL on the system to perform cryptographic operations at run time. When operating in FIPS mode, the database relies on the operating system's FIPS configuration to ensure a FIPS-certified version of OpenSSL is present in the environment.

OpenText supports running OpenText™ Analytics Database in FIPS mode on Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 9.2 and higher with FIPS-compliant versions of OpenSSL 3.0. OpenSSL version 1.1.1k is not supported. For information on downloading FIPS-compliant libraries, see the OpenSSL documentation.

FIPS-enabled database requires the following:

  • A user-generated certificate signed by an approved Certificate Authority.

  • TLS 1.2 to support the server-client connection for a FIPS-enabled system.

Supported drivers

OpenText™ Analytics Database supports the following client drivers for FIPS-compliance:

  • vsql

  • ODBC

  • JDBC
