ONTAP must be configured to implement cryptographic mechanisms using FIPS 140-2.

Rule version NAOT-MA-000002 · STIG v2 · 2026-05-23

Discussion

Unapproved mechanisms that are used for authentication to the cryptographic module are not verified and therefore cannot be relied upon to provide confidentiality or integrity, and DoD data may be compromised.

Satisfies: SRG-APP-000412-NDM-000331, SRG-APP-000411-NDM-000330, SRG-APP-000179-NDM-000265

Check

Use "set -privilege advanced" reply "y" to continue and "security config show" to see if cluster FIPS mode is true.

If ONTAP is not configured to implement cryptographic mechanisms using FIPS 140-2, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure ONTAP to use cryptographic mechanisms with "set -privilege advanced" reply "y" to continue and "security config modify -is-fips-enabled true -interface SSL".
