Need help on self test post failure - programmatically load FIPS provider

Thanks Matt for looking into this.

Here is the output:

 # openssl list --providers -provider fips -provider base

Providers:

  base

    name: OpenSSL Base Provider

    version: 3.0.9

    status: active

  fips

    name: OpenSSL FIPS Provider

    version: 3.0.9

    status: active


Also please find the fipsmodule.conf file contents before and after
fipsinstall which I missed to attach in previous mail:

before install fipsmodule.cnf is :

 # cat /usr/lib/ssl-3/fipsmodule.cnf

[fips_sect]

activate = 1

conditional-errors = 1

security-checks = 1

module-mac =
F9:2B:17:EB:57:57:C5:DA:4F:4B:BE:02:05:16:50:0A:4B:5F:02:C7:38:62:B4:36:DF:D1:6E:E1:BA:FA:12:69


After fips install :

 [fips_sect]

install-version = 1

conditional-errors = 1

security-checks = 1

module-mac =
5E:4A:02:9F:6E:26:2F:FE:FD:4D:45:6A:7E:D1:18:18:59:9C:04:56:50:6C:59:FC:3B:2F:BE:39:D4:79:08:E3

install-mac =
41:9C:38:C2:8F:59:09:43:2C:AA:2F:58:36:2D:D9:04:F9:6C:56:8B:09:E0:18:3A:2E:D6:CC:69:05:04:E1:11

install-status = INSTALL_SELF_TEST_KATS_RUN


Note: Removed the 'activate=1' manually.


Thanks,

Murugesh
