You probably need to add '.fips_allowed = 1,' in testmgr.c for "rfc4543(gcm(aes))" to enable algorithm in fips mode.

rfc4543() wrapper constructs the aad from '.assoc' and '.input'.

We tried above and still got -2 errors.

I think "ecb(cipher_null)" also needs to set the .fips_allowed flag, so that the rfc4543 setup can pull it in.
