Issue

MettleCI relies on some capabilities which are not available on Red Hat v8.3 and above with FIPS enabled.

Diagnostics

You can confirm whether or not FIPS is enabled in your Reg Hat environment using the following command:

If fips_enabled=1 then this is likely the cause of the problem you are seeing with MettleCI.

Resolution

The workaround for the time being is to simply disable FIPS for execution of MettleCI Workbench:

1. Open start-mettleci.sh with your editor of choice.

2. Copy and paste this command into the top of of the script:

   JAVA_OPTS=-Dcom.redhat.fips=false

3. The setup wizard should now work normally.
