Yes, from INSTALL.FIPS in the stunnel tarball

stunnel FIPS install notes

Hello

I think there is a bit of confusion within my company on what stunnel can do in regards to FIPS 140-2 out of the box. I know there are configuration options that can enable or disable FIPS 140-2 mode, but as the man page indicates

*fips = yes | no* Enable or disable FIPS 140-2 mode. This option allows to disable entering FIPS mode if stunnel was compiled with FIPS 140-2 support. default: yes Which to me says I have to compile stunnel on my own using openssl with fips libraries to build a Stunnel binary that can support FIPS 140-2 compliance -- if I download just the windows or unix binaries and install them -- then I am not going to be 140-2 compliant where I set the config file to yes or no , since the FIPS modules wont be compiled into the binary.

I'm just looking for confirmation before I take this back to the rest of my group.

Thanks!!
