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.

Proposed patch
Description of problem:
Two test scripts provided by python-nss-doc are not working on FIPS mode:
setup_certs.py
test_pkcs12.py
These are only a kind of examples but it would be nice to have versions which are working also in FIPS. Please note, they are executed during testing.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
python-nss-doc-0.16.0-2.el7
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
The 1st problem is that setup_certs.py can not create certificates with command:
# /usr/bin/certutil -S -x -d 'sql:pki' -f pwd -n test_ca -s 'CN=Test CA' -g 1024 -t 'CT,,CT' -1 -2 -5 -m 1 -v 12
certutil: unable to generate key(s)
: SEC_ERROR_IO: An I/O error occurred during security authorization.
The problem is the weak password used here: db_passwd = 'db_passwd'
The 2nd problem is with test_export() in test_pkcs12.py. In FIPS salt is used and it appears in exported files. This cause that the comparison fails. I could not find better way that remove the salt from the string which are compared.
Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
resolution of ERRATA.
