Check Text ( C-54473r802334_chk )
Verify the Sentry uses encryption services that implement NIST FIPS-validated cryptography to protect the confidentiality of remote access sessions.

On the MobileIron Sentry CLI console, do the following:
1. SSH to MobileIron Sentry Server from any SSH client.
2. Enter the administrator credentials set when MobileIron Sentry was installed.
3. Enter "enable".
4. When prompted, enter the "enable secret" set when MobileIron Sentry was installed.
5. Enter "show FIPS".
6. Verify "FIPS 140 mode is enabled" is displayed.

If the MobileIron Sentry Server does not report that FIPS mode is "enabled", this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-54427r802335_fix)
Configure the MobileIron Sentry server to use a FIPS 140-2-validated cryptographic module.

On the MobileIron Sentry console, do the following:
1. SSH to MobileIron Sentry Server from any SSH client.
2. Enter the administrator credentials set when MobileIron Sentry was installed.
3. Enter "enable".
4. When prompted, enter the "enable secret" set when MobileIron Sentry was installed.
5. Enter "configure terminal".
6. Enter the following command to enable FIPS: FIPS
7. Enter the following command to proceed with the necessary reload: do reload
8. Enter "Yes" at saved configuration modified prompt.
