| This check applies to the global zone only. Determine the zone that you are currently securing. # zonename If the command output is "global", this check applies. The Crypto Management profile is required to execute this command. Check to ensure that FIPS-140 encryption mode is enabled. # cryptoadm list fips-140| grep -c "is disabled" If the output of this command is not "0", this is a finding. |
