patch to utilize @SYSTEM none

Description Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2015-01-06 14:56:48 UTC 
Please convert this application to use the system's crypto policy for SSL and TLS:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:CryptoPolicies

If this program is compiled against gnutls, change the default priority string to be "@SYSTEM" or to use gnutls_set_default_priority().

If this program is compiled against openssl, and there is no default cipher list specified, you don't need to modify it. Otherwise replace the default cipher list with "PROFILE=SYSTEM".

In both cases please verify that the application uses the system's crypto policies.

If the package is already using the system-wide crypto policies, or it does not use SSL or TLS, no action is required, the bug can simply be closed.

patch to utilize @SYSTEM
Comment 2 Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2015-03-13 14:56:06 UTC 
An other approach which could also be sent upstream is to use:
gnutls_set_default_priority(session)

That way it avoids being Fedora-specific.
Comment 3 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2015-03-13 14:59:31 UTC 
Can you expand on that? At what point does this call need to happen? IIUC, gnutls_set_default_priority has to be called for each session separately. For a consumer of the µhttp library like systemd-journal-remote this is more complicated.

You're right... Ignore my comment.
