I’m trying to use openSSL fips library in **mariadb 10.1.45 community version** on **Ubuntu 18.04.6** server and I can’t do it.

I have installed on my server the **1.1.1-1ubuntu2.fips.2.1~18.04.3.1** version of openssl package and also enable the fips mode in kernel (file /proc/sys/crypto/fips\_enabled has number 1 inside it) however when I check the variable **version\_ssl\_library** into mariadb I get **OpenSSL 1.0.2n 7 Dec 2017** as result.

Originally I installed the mariadb-server package from mariadb repository and then I build and install mariadb following this instructions ([Building MariaDB on Ubuntu - MariaDB Knowledge Base](https://mariadb.com/kb/en/building-mariadb-on-ubuntu/)) but I have the same result

I just read mariadb documentation ([TLS and Cryptography Libraries Used by MariaDB - MariaDB Knowledge Base](https://mariadb.com/kb/en/tls-and-cryptography-libraries-used-by-mariadb/)) and undestand that mariadb not necessary use the last version of openssl installed in server and is fine for me but how I have to configure it to use fips library? community version of maridb allows you to use openssl fips library?
