Enabling FIPS support for BMC Atrium SSO

BMC Atrium Single Sign-On (SSO) integration is Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS-140) compliant. When you have integrated BMC Atrium SSO with BMC Remedy AR System and you have enabled FIPS-140 mode in BMC Atrium SSO, you must follow the steps provided in this topic for completing the integration successfully.

To provide FIPS support

1. In a text editor, open the armonitor.cfg file (Windows) or the armonitor.conf file (UNIX).

   • Windows: ARSystemServerInstallDir\Conf\armonitor.cfg
   • UNIX: /etc/arsystem/serverName/armonitor.conf

    

2. Update the following line

   D:\Program Files\Java\<Java_Home_Folder>\bin\java" -Xmx512m -classpath
   "D:\ARSystem\pluginsvr;D:\ARSystem\pluginsvr\arpluginsvr7604_build
   002.jar" com.bmc.arsys.pluginsvr.ARPluginServerMain -x iBMC-66R37BS -i
   "D:\ARSystem" -m

   and add the -Datsso.sdk.in.fips140.mode=true parameter as follows:

   D:\Program Files\Java\<Java_Home_Folder>\bin\java"
   -Datsso.sdk.in.fips140.mode=true -Xmx512m -classpath
   "D:\ARSystem\pluginsvr;D:\ARSystem\pluginsvr\arpluginsvr81_build
   002.jar" com.bmc.arsys.pluginsvr.ARPluginServerMain -x iBMC-66R37BS -i
   "D:\ARSystem" -m
3. Save the file and close it.

You can now proceed with the integration of BMC Atrium SSO and BMC Remedy AR System. For steps of integration, see Integrating Remedy SSO with BMC Remedy AR Systemin BMC Atrium Single Sign-On online documentation.
