FIPS-FINISH-INSTAL(8)                                    FIPS-FINISH-INSTAL(8)

NAME
       fips-finish-install - complete the installation of FIPS modules.

SYNOPSIS
       fips-finish-install [--complete|--undo]

DESCRIPTION
       fips-finish-install(8) is used by the fips-mode-setup(8) command to
       complete the installation of the system FIPS modules. The tool is not
       supposed to be called directly by the system administrator, but it is
       possible to do so.

OPTIONS
       The only recognized and mandatory option is:

       --complete: The command completes the FIPS module installation and
       calls dracut -f to regenerate the initramfs.

       --undo: The command undoes some of the FIPS module installation steps.
       Please note that module installation cannot be undone without
       reformatting of and overwriting, at least once, the platform's hard
       drive or other permanent storage media. This option is not meant to be
       used in production, is not supported, and is implemented for testing
       purposes only.

FILES
       /etc/system-fips
           The presence of the file used to indicate that the installation of
           FIPS modules has been completed. Support for indicating FIPS mode
           through the /etc/system-fips file has been removed, and the file
           will not be included in future versions of RHEL. Please inspect the
           contents of /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled instead.
