249+ Database Tools and FIPS Mode
250+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
251+
252+ Starting in MongoDB 4.2, the following programs no longer support the
253+ :option:`--sslFIPSMode <mongod --sslFIPSMode>` option:
254+
255+ - :binary:`~bin.mongodump`
256+ - :binary:`~bin.mongoexport`
257+ - :binary:`~bin.mongofiles`
258+ - :binary:`~bin.mongoimport`
259+ - :binary:`~bin.mongorestore`
260+ - :binary:`~bin.mongostat`
261+ - :binary:`~bin.mongotop`
262+
263+ ``mongod``, ``mongos``, and FIPS Mode
264+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
265+
266+ If you configure :binary:`~bin.mongod` and :binary:`~bin.mongos` to use
267+ FIPS mode, ``mongod`` and ``mongos`` use FIPS-compliant connections.
268+
269+ MongoDB Shell and FIPS Mode
270+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
271+
272+ The default :binary:`~bin.mongosh` distribution:
273+
274+ - Contains OpenSSL 3.
275+ - Uses FIPS-compliant connections to :binary:`~bin.mongod` and
276+ :binary:`~bin.mongos` if you configure ``mongod`` and ``mongos`` to
277+ use FIPS mode.
278+
279+ MongoDB also provides a MongoDB Shell distribution that can use:
280+
281+ - OpenSSL 1.1 and OpenSSL 3 installed on your server.
282+ - ``--tlsFIPSMode`` option, which enables the ``mongosh`` FIPS mode.
283+
284+ .. seealso::
285+
286+ - To download MongoDB Shell distributions that contain OpenSSL 1.1
287+ and OpenSSL 3, go to the `MongoDB Download Center
288+ <https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/shell?jmp=docs>`__.
