Description Steve Grubb 2010-08-31 10:50:34 EDT

Description of problem:
We need a better description in the README.FIPS file about the error states that openssl can go into. Customers want to know what are the effects of powerup self test failure and how can this be detected so that they know what the reason is. What troubleshooting options do they have? Also, they want to know what continuous self tests are performed, what the effects are, how do you get out of that, and what are the visible indications to the user/admin.

Comment 4 RHEL Product and Program Management 2011-10-07 10:08:27 EDT

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the
current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this
request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support
representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant,
in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
