Thanks again. I think most of that makes sense. Going back to your initial response, there is something I'm not clear on. </div>

The second method you explained (which I don't plan to use) starting with "Alternatively,..." included the calls to OSSL_PRIVIDER_load(), and then discussed calling the following API for FIPS:</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<pre style="font-family:courier, "courier new", monospace;font-size:14px;overflow-wrap:break-word;margin:0em;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)">
EVP_set_default_properties(NULL, “fips=yes”);</pre>

<div id="appendonsend"></div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
Was the EVP_set_default_properties() call specifically and only for the 2nd method, or did that API call apply to both the first and second methods you explained? From reading the doc for that call, it seems like I should be doing it if I use the first method
as well.</div>

<div>The configuration shouldn't have much impact. You will need a fips section specifying where the integrity check data are. You shouldn't need base or default sections.<br>

<span id="" title="" class="">Thank you </span>for your response. I think all of that makes sense, and seems to accomplish what I want programmatically, limiting it to my application. I guess the only question I have is what about the config files? Should they
remain as they were installed, or do I need to provide sections for fips, base, default, etc?</div>

<div>Oops, the second time this occurs "<font face="monospace">defp = OSSL_PROVIDER_load(<span style=""></span>non_fips_libctx, "default");" it should be "</font><font face="monospace">defp = OSSL_PROVIDER_load(NULL, "default");"</font><br>
