Gotcha. Can you run in JSSE FIPS mode until Tomcat supports the

Great. Add yourself to the CC list of the bugzilla enhancement I added
so you can get updates.

Heh... you are under the mistaken impression that I'm a great JNI
master. Seriously, though, it ought to be pretty simple: add a flag for
FIPS mode, then make sure the SSLContext knows about it.

According to markt, JSSE FIPS mode can be configured independently of
Tomcat, so there's nothing in the Tomcat configuration that needs
improvement for that. Only using APR FIPS mode will require such
changes. Please confirm that via comment in bugzilla.
