Can someone shed light on why this does not work in FIPS mode? How does this
functionality contradict the FIPS requirements?


Most browser output PKCS#12 files use 40 bit RC2 to encrypt certificates. That

Aren't PKCS#12 files, when they use password bases key-derivation, incompatible with FIPS 140-2 full stop?
