Hello,

% openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014

% OPENSSL_FIPS=1 openssl ciphers -v | grep SSL

ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA    SSLv3
ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-SHA  SSLv3
DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA      SSLv3
DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA      SSLv3
[snipped]

All of the others are TLSv1.2.

Why is SSLv3.0 seen in FIPS mode on this install ?

> TLS 1.0 is currently permitted though. 

As far as OpenSSL is concerned, will any action to remove TLSv.10
only be taken when put into a FIPS frame, eg. the recent
NDCPPv1.0 is not enough ground to make a change ?

Regards.
