Enabling NIST SP800-131A compliance on the controller
About this task
The IBM® JRE for Windows® operating system and Linux® (Intel®) operating systems is included with IBM BigFix® Remote Control and is installed when you install the controller software.
If you are using a Windows system, the JRE is included in the controller package trc_controller_setup.exe and trc_controller.msi. For Linux systems, the JRE is included in the package ibm-trc-controller-jre-9.1.0.i386.rpm. These packages install the IBM Java™ Run-time Environment preconfigured with the IBM FIPS certified cryptographic provider and NIST SP800-131A enabled. The packages also register the MIME type application/x-ibm-trc-jws and a file association for *.trcjws files.
To check whether the controller is connected in FIPS or NIST SP800-131A mode during a remote control session, click . Encryption is set to AES FIPS when FIPS mode is enabled and is set to TLSv1.2 when NIST mode is enabled.
