The way I understand is you can have authentication and encryption with
TLS. When you use a cipher suite, you can specify the type of
authentication, encryption, hash, etc.
 
So, for example, you could provide  TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_NULL_SHA meaning no
encryption. I believe this should work. Question was, how do you setup
the Client and Server to use this? Also, is this option available in the
FIPS compliant module (1.2.2)? When I looked at all the FIPS compliant
cryptographic algorithms ( 
http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-52/SP800-52.pdf ), a
suite with no encryption does not show up

What exactly do you mean? What other possible kinds of authentication do
you have available? If you just want a TLS-based client and server, then
OpenSSL can serve your purpose.
