Receiving the following error when attempting non tls federation between two nodes on the same network (no firewalls between)

Any thoughts on what would cause this? Normal install with no default configurations changed.

Disabling FIPS resolved this.

Hi! Thanks for reporting back what the cause of your issue was. I’m curious to know how you’re trying to use FIPS, and for what purpose. It is not something that we’re commonly see being used.

S2S federation over plain text. Appears it does not like the kestore file used because i doesnt meet fips compliance.
