We are moving to Percona v6 on rhel9 from Community v5 on rhel8. This parameter is fine on community. What am I missing here?

Here is part of the percona config:

```auto
# network interfaces
net:
  tls:
    FIPSMode: true
  port: 27017
# bindIp: 127.0.0.1
  bindIp: 0.0.0.0

```

Error log

```auto
Unrecognized option: net.tls.FIPSMode
try '/usr/bin/mongod --help' for more information

```

From my community install

```auto
test> use admin
switched to db admin
admin> db.version()
5.0.14
admin> db.getSiblingDB("admin").runCommand({getCmdLineOpts: 1}).parsed.net.tls.FIPSMode
true
admin>

```

Thanks!

Can I get a confirmation from someone with Percona whether Percona for Mongo is FIPS compliant?

Hello @ecbtfs52

Percona Server for MongoDB is based on MongoDB community version. Unfortunately MongoDB removed `net.tls.FIPSMode` option from MongoDB community version 6.0 (see [SERVER-57004](https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/SERVER-57004)).  
We will investigate what we can do with this issue.

Thanks for the clarification and the including the link!

Will any progress to toward having this available be posted here? Just looking for a way to track this since from a dod perspective FIPS non-compliance is a Cat 1 security finding.

Thanks
