 The Bitnami Gradle Docker image from the [Bitnami Secure Images](https://go-vmware.broadcom.com/contact-us) catalog includes extra features and settings to configure the container with FIPS capabilities. You can configure the next environment variables:
 
 - `OPENSSL_FIPS`: whether OpenSSL runs in FIPS mode or not. `yes` (default), `no`.
+- `JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS`: controls Java FIPS mode. Use `-Djava.security.properties==/opt/bitnami/java/conf/security/java.security.restricted` (restricted), `-Djava.security.properties==/opt/bitnami/java/conf/security/java.security.relaxed` (relaxed), or `-Djava.security.properties==/opt/bitnami/java/conf/security/java.security.original` (off).
