Description Lawrence Lim 2008-09-16 15:04:24 UTC

Description of problem:
IA64 specific bug. User is not able to enable FIPS. This behavior was not observed in all other arches.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-3.0.1-1.el5.ia64
nss-3.12.0.3-1.el5.ia64
nss-3.12.0.3-1.el5.i386

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start firefox with fresh profile
2. advanced prefs / encryption / security devices / enable FIPS
  (confirm the FIPS button is now grayed out / changes label to "disable")
3. connect to any https site
  (because FIPS mode requires a master password, Firefox will prompt you
   to set it up)

Actual results:
Unable to enable FIPS

Expected results:
Able to enable FIPS
