Description Martin Kosek 2018-03-22 16:04:36 UTC

Document URL: 
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/linux_domain_identity_authentication_and_policy_guide/installing-ipa#prerequisites

Section Number and Name: 
2.1.2. System Requirements

Describe the issue: 
This is a follow up to Bug 1510313. We recently hit questions and what can or cannot be done in FIPS mode when investigating Bug 1544679 and the person asking was not able to find the FIPS chapter we have now in the book.

FIPS requirements and expectations are now described within
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/linux_domain_identity_authentication_and_policy_guide/installing-ipa#prerequisites

Right now, when I search "FIPS" in
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/linux_domain_identity_authentication_and_policy_guide/index
, I get no results and I can only find it by displaying single HTML page. This makes the whole FIPS section less discoverable,

Suggestions for improvement: 
Based on the mentioned experience, I think we should have a separate section on FIPS, stating what does or does not work in FIPS mode (i.e. information from Prerequisites section), so that people can easily find that information out. If this is a separate section, another benefit would be that it appears in the guide Content Highlights.

Assigning to Lucie initially as I discussed the idea with her and she has the context (feel free to re-assign of course).

Comment 3 Standa Laznicka 2018-04-18 08:02:31 UTC

Was there an update to this BZ?

Comment 5 Martin Kosek 2019-02-25 13:02:11 UTC

This makes sense. I think I would only consider to move 2.1.2.1 at one level up (i.e. 2.1.3), to avoid nesting too much.

Comment 8 Marc Muehlfeld 2019-04-09 10:31:35 UTC

The update is now available on the Customer Portal.
