Hi there,
I have been using pyinstaller with python 3.5.2 to create my executable. Recently the target where I run the executable has been changed with fips mode enabled and seeing the failure

fips.c(139): OpenSSL internal error, assertion failed: FATAL FIPS SELFTEST FAILURE

Aborted (core dumped)

How to fix this issue?Any help

Thanks

It will fail, yes.

FIPS enabled means that everything has to use ONLY fully qualified FIPS certified encryption.

Make sure your SSL is also FIPS encryption compliant: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-security-baselines/why-we-8217-re-not-recommending-8220-fips-mode-8221-anymore/ba-p/701037

The executable I create is to run on Linux machines. Is there a way to know which so. files have to be FIPS compliant

Thanks
