Due to the upgrade to the HMP OS, the hash function used for pairing with HMG has changed from SHA-1 to SHA-512. Therefore, ensure the major versions of both your HMP and Gateways are the same. For instance, if your HMP is at version 4.0+, your Media Gateways must also be at version 4.0.1+.	Pairing Media Gateways to HMP
Due to the upgrade to the HMP OS, changed the implementation for U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 and high-security (STIG) environments. (The STIG enable button was removed.) Most of the policies included in these standards are enabled by default. Please contact your Haivision Support representative to enable full FIPS and/or STIG support in your 4.0+ installation.	Configuring Appliance Security Security Settings
Due to the upgrade to the HMP OS and OpenSSL 3, any PKCS#12-formatted certificates generated with an older OpenSSL version must be converted before they can be added to HMP 4.0+.	Convert Unsupported Certificates to Use in HMP 4.0+

Replaced the hardware-based FIPS encryption modules with software-based cryptographic modules accredited under the U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2.

The software-based FIPS modules can now be optionally enabled via the command line. Note If your HMP 3.8 has FIPS enabled, prior to upgrading to version 3.9, you must disable FIPS. After the upgrade to HMP 3.9 completes, the software-based FIPS modules can be enabled as detailed in Enabling/Disabling FIPS Cryptographic Modules.
