How are you linking your application?

If it is to the OpenSSL shared libraries then no further steps are needed as
the fingerprint is embedded in the shared library. You should NOT use the
fipsld utility to link.

If you are linking against static libraries then you do need to make use of
the fipsld utility.

Check the OpenSSL utility can enter FIPS mode by doing something like this:

OPENSSL_FIPS=1 openssl version -a
OPENSSL_FIPS=1 openssl md5 somefile
OPENSSL_FIPS=1 openssl sha1 somefile

The md5 command should fail with an error message indicating that algorithm
isn't allowed in FIPS mode.
