Introduction to FIPS compliance

The PingDirectory, PingDirectoryProxy, and PingDataSync servers support running in FIPS-compliant mode using either the FIPS 140-2 or FIPS 140-3 specification.

When setting up in FIPS-compliant mode, the server uses the Bouncy Castle FIPS Java API in approved-only mode, which rejects attempts to use non-FIPS-compliant cryptography.
