Enabling FIPS
For FIPS capabilities, IBM Aspera provides a separate version of Connect. The installer is available on the IBM Aspera download site.
In Connect for Windows, FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) is disabled by
default. FIPS is an encryption mode used by some US government entities. If you need to
use the FIPS version of Connect, you should run the FIPS-enabled installer available
from the Connect download page: https://downloads.asperasoft.com/en/downloads/8?list

You can configure the Connect guided installation to link to the FIPS version of Connect automatically. To do so, modify your application code to add a configuration value:
Before: var asperaInstaller = newAW4.ConnectInstaller({});
After: var asperaInstaller = newAW4.ConnectInstaller({useFips: true});
