Hi,

Does the Mender client and server are known to work in FIPS mode?  
Do you know what would that require?

Would it require compiling Mender ourselves?  
As far as I know, the Mender client is linked dynamically to host’s `openssl`. Will it work if the `openssl` has the FIPS module activated?  
What’s regarding the Mender server?

Is there any official guide or support?  
Thank you

Hi @zivkapl,

There is no information on FIPS compliance for Mender available. If you have this requirement, please get in touch with us directly so we can evaluate the required activities and resulting needed resources.
