Although, there is no option provided on the switch to configure TLS ciphers for LDAP in FIPS mode. However, the LDAP client checks if FIPS mode is set on the switch and uses the FIPS compliant TLS ciphers for LDAP. If the FIPS mode is not set and the Microsoft Active Directory server is configured for FIPS ciphers, it uses FIPS compliant ciphers. Table 42 lists the differences between FIPS and non-FIPS mode of operation. Table 42 FIPS mode of operation FIPS mode non-FIPS mode The CA that issued the Microsoft Active Directory server certificate must be installed on the switch. There is no mandatory CA certificate installation on the switch. Configure FIPS compliant TLS ciphers [TDES-168, SHA1 and RSA-1024] on Microsoft Active Directory server. The host needs a reboot for the changes to take effect. On the Microsoft Active Directory server, there is no configuration of the FIPS compliant TLS ciphers. The switch uses FIPS-compliant ciphers regardless of Microsoft Active Directory server configuration. If the Microsoft Active Directory server is not configured for FIPS ciphers, authentication will still succeed. The Microsoft Active Directory server certificate is validated if the CA certificate is found on the switch The Microsoft Active Directory server certificate is validated by the LDAP client. If the CA certificate is not present on the switch, user authentication fails. If Microsoft Active Directory server is configured for FIPS ciphers and the switch is in non-FIPS mode, user authentication succeeds. 138 Configuring advanced security features
