Red Hat Satellite engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on Satellite 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs will be migrated starting at the end of May. 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 "Satellite project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/SAT-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 Jesse P. Johnson 2015-10-07 04:07:02 UTC
Description of problem:

Bouncycastle is an SSL encryption library that deviates from ongoing downstream / upstream efforts to standardize PKI. The intended effort is to ensure that RHEL and other Red Hat products are standards compliant. The preferred crypto library for Red Hat products is Mozilla NSS to provide FIPS compliance. Currently, Satellite 5.7 can be configured to run FIPS compliant.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ALL

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. katello-installer
2. rpm -qa | grep bouncycastle


Actual results:
/etc/rhsm/ca

Expected results:
/etc/pki/rhsm/ca

https://fedorahosted.org/penrose/ - Penrose was a product acquired by Red Hat to provide federated identity which used bouncycastle and discontinued due to DISA disapproval.

Comment 4 Tomer Brisker 2016-11-06 15:01:00 UTC
It seems that this has been resolved already by 6.2, moving to ON_QA for verification.

Comment 5 Tomer Brisker 2017-04-19 12:51:50 UTC
I am going to close this as CURRENTRELEASE. Satellite 6.2.9 does not ship with bouncy castle. If you feel this is in error, please reopen and provide further information.
