    Hi @venkatesh_vsa ,

    if the server is FIPS compliant and policies are configured then the OS is already configured if not you will have enable the policy for that - system-cryptography-use-fips-compliant-algorithms-for-encryption-hashing-and-signing

    However the detailed CM is validated for Windows Server 2016 and certificate of that module is over here 2937

    @JimmySalian-2011 , Thank you for your answer.
    Does IIS use "Cryptographic Module" only when HTTPS is enabled, which module does it use when HTTPS is not enabled?
