Here's a question that I have3n't found the answer to yet: does anyone know the effect of enabling FIPS mode for apache? Will it break existing websites? Does code need changing? Configuration, other than enabling it?

I don't know anything about when it is a good idea or not, however, I have been told (by a person I trust to be right) that FIPS 140-2 is obsolete, in that it requires certain features that are now known to not be your best bet for good security.
Sorry, I cannot be more specific, that is all I know on the topic.
