Hi,
We are trying to generate a FIPS compliant JVM using NSS as our cryptographic
provider. We compiled NSS 3.25, JDK 1.8u112 and made the below settings.
We removed all other providers from java.security, and left only NSS as
provider of JCE and JSSE.
Our questions:
1 - Is it actually needed to have NSS as the only provider in order to have a
FIPS compatible JVM? If not, what should be the location?
2 - We are getting Jar verification error due to X.509 not found (log below).
What could be the reason?
Thanks you for your help,
Eldad,
