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.

Fixed In Version: ipa-4.5.0-1.el7
Doc Type: Release Note
Doc Text:
Identity Management now supports FIPS With this enhancement, Identity Management (IdM) supports the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). This enables you to run IdM in environments that must meet the FIPS criteria. To run IdM with FIPS mode enabled, you must set up all servers in the IdM environment using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 with FIPS mode enabled. Note that you cannot: * Enable FIPS mode on existing IdM servers previously installed with FIPS mode disabled. * Install a replica in FIPS mode when using an existing IdM server with FIPS mode disabled. For further details, see https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html-single/Linux_Domain_Identity_Authentication_and_Policy_Guide/index.html#prerequisites.

Description Martin Kosek 2014-07-31 08:54:55 UTC 
Description of problem:
Identity Management in RHEL-7.0 does not work well with FIPS mode, several issues were reported in RHEL-6.6 testing:

- ipa-client-install fails unless /etc/pki/nssdb/ is properly pre-configured. This should be fixed either by Bug 852023 or upstream ticket https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/4140

- FIPS mode needs to be enabled manually for Apache mod_nss

- user-show SSH pubkey processing reports Internal Error in FIPS mode (user-show SSH pubkey processing crashes in FIPS mode)

- PKI does not return expected results on certificate requests


To support FIPS mode properly, IPA will need to be able to:
1) Detect when running in FIPS mode
2) Update appropriate configuration if needed
3) Fall back in functions that use unsupported crypto
Comment 2 Martin Kosek 2014-08-19 15:11:44 UTC 
Until we decide to support running in FIPS mode (when there is a value), we decided to at least give clear error message before installation or starting IPA services that it does not run in FIPS mode.

RHEL-6.7: Bug 1131571

For composing future release notes:

Commit in comment 16 is changing a way how SSH Pub Keys Fingerprints are generated. Fingerprint is changed to be a sha256 hash instead of MD5 hash.
