Description François Kooman 2023-08-05 18:41:25 UTC

Even though the manpage for the argon2 module is installed, the module itself is not available. 

In order for the argon2 module to be built one needs libsodium or libargon2. Both of which are not available on EL due to limits on importing crypto libraries there, so that is why it is not enabled on Fedora either I guess.

What could be done is conditionally enable it on Fedora (BuildRequires: libsodium-devel)

Longer term, it is possible to wait for OpenSSL 3.2 which supports argon2 password hashes and then update the argon2 module to use it. Or are there any other crypto libraries in EL that support argon2?

Is there any interest in this?

My diff against rawhide to conditionally enable argon2 on Fedora:

Reproducible: Always

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle.
Changing version to 39.
