nCipher server not in operational mode : Cisco NAC

[tarunava-konar]

One of the NAC server got rebooted and then while restart i am getting an error nCipher server not in operational mode. Please change the settings on back of the card. Also error-sshd-server not running.

Please let me know how to make the ncipher in operational  mode and change the mode of NAC in FIPS mode.

It is very urgent. Please let me know the solution.

Regards,

Tarunava
