not able to find fips.ora file


I am configuring Oracle Database in fips compliant mode, but not able to find fips.ora, can someone please tell me do i need to create a new file or there is any default location?


Solution

  • Assuming you are on 11g, the fips.ora file is either located in the $ORACLE_HOME/ldap/admin directory, or is pointed to by the FIPS_HOME environment variable.

    If it doesn't exist create it and add SSLFIPS_140=TRUE
