The System SSL started task (GSKSRVR) executes in non-FIPS mode by default. In order for the GSKSRVR started task to execute in FIPS mode, environment variable GSK_FIPS_STATE must be specified and set to GSK_FIPS_STATE_ON in the envar file in the GSKSRVR home directory. If the GSKSRVR is unable to execute in FIPS mode (for example, the Level 3 FMID JCPT411 is not installed), it executes in non-FIPS mode after issuing message GSK01054E (see SSL started task messages (GSK01nnn)).
