stunnel FIPS mode 140-2/ Other Modes

Hi All, I would like to ask a question about stunnel fips mode. There are lots of question and answers on the internet related with this, but I could not find any answer related with mine. I am compiling with openssl (auto detecting fips) . Here is a part of confgiure output : checking for FIPS_mode_set... yes configure: FIPS mode detected So I am thinking that fips also is being included. Then I try to run stunnel on target platform (in stunnel.conf fips=yes) and it gives below error : Compiled/running with OpenSSL 0.9.8w-fips 23 Apr 2012 Threading:PTHREAD Sockets:POLL,IPv6 SSL:ENGINE,OCSP,FIPS Reading configuration from file stunnel.conf FIPS_mode_set: 2D06906E: error:2D06906E:FIPS routines:FIPS_CHECK_INCORE_FINGERPRINT:fingerprint does not match there are lots of information about this errror on internet. Then when I configure stunnel.conf with fips=no, stunnel is running successfully. I know that fips=yes means that enables FIPS 140-2 mode and I guess my fips canister does not supoort fips 140-2 mode (I do not know which fips mode it has supported). Now my question is coming : When I set fips=no, stunnel also starts with other available fips modes which the canister included? Or it skips running fips mode completely? Plase inform me if anyone has any idea? Regards

For the stunnel, FIPS mode 140-02 is a standard for evaluating the efficacy of cryptographic devices. It is the industry standard for securing digital data and maintaining communication system integrity. The FIPS Level 2 includes physical tamper-evidence and role-based authentication requirements. Software implementations must also operate on an operating system certified to Common Criteria at EAL2 (Evaluation Assurance Level 2). I think you can refer to the following resource at:- https://signmycode.com/blog/what-is-fips-detailed-guide-on-fips-140-2. Hope it helps!
