I see that CentOS does not provide the FIPS140-2 package for openSSL. I don't know if RH provides it or not.

Can someone advise me on the best way to get it onto a CentOS or RHEL system, without breaking things?

I'd also appreciate ANY related wisdom that's available, having pretty much NO wisdom of my own.

thanks!

Here is how one makes RHEL-6 FIPS compliant:

And for RHEL7:

The CentOS Project does not certify that CentOS Linux is FIPS (or anything else) compliant, although those steps may also be completed on CentOS Linux.

thanks, Johnny!

I've seen the el6 document, but hadn't yet unearthed the EL7 done.
