## Summary
Kibana requires security to be enabled and a platinum or better license
to run in FIPS mode.
Since not all FTR configs assume these conditions will be enabled, we
cant run every test. So these failing tests will be skipped when these
overrides are enforced.
This does not mean that the functionality is not supported in FIPS mode.
## What is the point?
Running these tests in FIPS mode is not necessarily to check that the
functionality works as expected, it is to make sure Kibana does not
crash due to unsupported algorithm usage (`md4`, `md5`, etc).
When running in FIPS mode, Node will throw an `unsupported envelope
function` error (with FIPS enabled) if it encounters an unsupported
algorithm, so the more lines of code covered, the more assurance we can
have that features will work in FIPS mode.
## Nature of the changes
To skip a test, a `tag` is added: `this.tags('skipFIPS')`
`this.tags` is only available for `describe('description', function()
{...});`
There should not be any logical changes, just tests wrapped in an extra
block.
I tried to make the wording in the new `describe` block "flow" 😅 if you
prefer different wording in the new `describe` block - please add a
change!
