| !!SFTP FIPS additional work |
| To get FIPS modules for SFTP, you need the BouncyCastle libraries added to the plugins/lib folder of CrushFTP.\\ |
| [https://www.bouncycastle.org/fips_faq.html]\\ |
| These are files like: |
| {{{ |
| bc-fips-1.0.2.jar |
| bcmail-fips-1.0.1.jar |
| bcpg-fips-1.0.3.jar |
| bcpkix-fips-1.0.3.jar |
| bcpqc-addon-fips-1.0.0.jar |
| bctls-fips-1.0.9.jar |
| }}} |
| The SFTP port will *only* enable FIPS compatible algorithms when the port starts, and it will fail if these jars aren't there and it is unable to do so. You can no longer control your KEX and such as its locked down to the FIPS enabled items only, no controls for the server admin. |
