       enable-fips token
              Enable the FIPS PPA repository, install the FIPS  modules,  con-
              figure  the bootloader and enable fips on the system. After suc-
              cessfully executing the ubuntu-advantage script to enable  fips,
              the  system MUST be rebooted to complete the enablement process.
              Failing to reboot will result  in  the  system  not  being  fips
              enabled.   The  token  argument  must be in the form "user:pass-
              word".

              in   fips   mode;  openssh-server,  openssh-client,  strongswan,
              openssl, and the kernel cryptoapi.

       5      Current  kernel  is  too  old to support Snaps (required for the
              Livepatch service)

       6      It was determined that FIPS has already been installed.

       If apt commands run by the tool fail,  the  exit  status  from  apt  is
       returned.
