[users@httpd] How to check whether apache support FIPS 140-2

Dear users,

I have turn on SSLFIPS on in my apache2 but it returns me following:
Invalid command 'SSLFIPS', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module
not included in the server configuration

Do you know how to check whether apache2 or openssl is build-up with
support of FIPS 140-2.

Thank you in advance

I thought that FIPS is within mod_ssl, right? Is it necessary to rebuild
apache2 or is it enought to rebuild openssl with FIPS support?

It means that flag SSLFIPS is directly part of apache2 as source code?

Best regards

Maybe this?

"If httpd was compiled against an SSL library which did not support the FIPS_mode flag, SSLFIPS on will fail."
