RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Bob Relyea 2013-09-23 20:25:35 UTC 
Description of problem:
Current composes are missing nss-softokn-fips RPM of nss-softokn package. Content of this RPM was split from nss-softokn RPM and therefore should be added to all variants/channels where nss-softokn RPM currently is.

Without this login with fips=0 will fail QA.

Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2013-09-23 20:38:39 UTC 
Why would this make fips=0 fail (as opposed to fips=1)?

In any case looks more or less like a dup of bug 1009708.
Comment 2 Bob Relyea 2013-09-23 20:47:00 UTC 
It would guarrentee fips=1 would fail for users of libfreebl (like libcrypt.so: part of glibc and required for login).

It could cause users that put NSS into FIPS mode (independent of the system fips flag). This is things like servers using modutil to turn of FIPS mode, or users clicking the enable FIPS button in the browser. I don't know how many customers this affects.

It currently has not effect in all other cases, but once the rest of the fips code is in place, it will cause the FIPS integrity check to run, even in non-fips mode, so at the very least it needs to be removable.

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2013-09-23 21:13:03 UTC 
Right, but comment #0 said it made fips=0 fail, which didn't make much sense to me.
