The B1 Usability Package (B1UP) is designed to enhance and customize SAP Business One, providing a wide range of features to improve user experience and productivity. However, B1UP does not support Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) encryption.
Why Doesn't B1UP Support FIPS?
FIPS 140-2 and its successor FIPS 140-3 are U.S. government standards that define security requirements for cryptographic modules. Achieving FIPS compliance involves rigorous testing and certification processes, which can delay the adoption of newer, more secure encryption methods.
B1UP utilizes modern encryption technologies that prioritize current security best practices. Implementing FIPS-compliant encryption would necessitate using older algorithms, potentially compromising overall security.
Therefore, to maintain the highest security standards and ensure optimal performance, B1UP does not incorporate FIPS-compliant encryption.
What Are My Options?
- Disable FIPS Mode: You can disable FIPS mode on machines running B1UP to allow full functionality.
Disable FIPS:
|
1. Disable the "Local Security Setting System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing" policy in Windows.
2. Go to Start > Control Panel > Administrative tools > Local Security Policy. The Group Policy dialog appears. Under the "Local Policies" heading, select "Security Options" and look for the entry, "System cryptography: Use FIPS compliant algorithms for encryption, hashing, and signing." If this entry is enabled, disable it. |
