Jenkins fails on FIPS mode enabled RHEL

This might be [JENKINS-68662] Instance identity plugin can't encode/decode PEM in a FIPS configured OS / host - Jenkins Jira as pointed out by @MarkEWaite

The plugin tries to write RSA private key to a file which is not allowed in FIPS mode. You probably cannot use this plugin when running under FIPS (if Jenkins runs at all).
