IIRC there was an earlier discussion on this list where 10.6 was validated but
not 10.7
http://lists.apple.com/archives/fed-talk/2011/Jul/msg00084.html with the
relevant information, it appears, at:
https://devforums.apple.com/message/452033 (I don't have access to this)
if you look at FIPS cert 1514, you will see it only convers 10.6 and also only
in single user mode (not sure who even runs single user mode in an enterprise,
we aren't).
I believe this is the problem Ben alluded to.
V/r,
