 # FIPS Mode Detection and APR SSL Engine Configuration
 # =====================================================
-# This script automatically detects FIPS-enabled environments and disables the
-# Tomcat Native APR SSL Engine to prevent JVM crashes with OpenSSL 3.x.
+# This script automatically detects FIPS-enabled environments and prevents
+# libtcnative-1 from loading to avoid JVM crashes with OpenSSL 3.x in FIPS mode.
 #
-# The Tomcat Native APR library (libtcnative-1) version 1.2.35 is incompatible
-# with OpenSSL 3.x when running in FIPS mode, causing segmentation faults.
+# Root cause: libtcnative-1 links against libcrypto.so.3. On a FIPS-enabled kernel,
+# OpenSSL 3.x requires the FIPS provider (fips.so) to be present before allowing
+# any crypto operation. Ubuntu 24.04 does not ship fips.so, so the first OpenSSL
+# crypto call (e.g. EVP_MD_get0_provider for random number generation) segfaults.
+# This happens regardless of SSLEngine or AprLifecycleListener configuration because
+# setenv.sh sets java.library.path to /usr/lib/<arch>-linux-gnu/ and Tomcat auto-
+# detects and loads libtcnative-1 from there even without an AprLifecycleListener.
+#
+# Fix: The Dockerfile moves libtcnative-1.so.0* to /srv/native-libs/ (owned by the
+# dotcms user) and leaves symlinks in /usr/lib. When FIPS is detected, this script
+# removes the files in /srv/native-libs/, making the symlinks dangling. dlopen() then
+# fails to load the library regardless of java.library.path or server.xml config.
 #
 # Configuration Options:
 # ----------------------
 # 1. Automatic FIPS Detection (default behavior):
 #    - The script checks /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled
-#    - If FIPS is enabled, CMS_SSL_ENGINE is automatically set to 'off'
+#    - If FIPS is enabled, libtcnative-1 is removed and CMS_SSL_ENGINE is set to 'off'
 #
 # 2. Manual Override with CMS_DISABLE_APR_SSL:
 #    - Set CMS_DISABLE_APR_SSL=true to disable APR SSL Engine
