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 Christian Heimes 2020-06-23 07:17:11 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/8372

### Request for enhancement

As an admin, I wish all passwords utilized in an IPA environment to be at least 128 or 256 bits. Importantly, this should include the AJP connector secret shared by Tomcat and httpd.

### Issue

Currently, when Dogtag PKI 10.9 generates an AJP secret (during the initial `pkispawn`), we generate a [~75 bit](https://github.com/dogtagpki/pki/blob/737fc097afb42c0b48fe362e970591099dfed2c7/base/common/python/pki/__init__.py#L217-L218) password. Because this is static and not rotated, it probably makes sense to use a more secure AJP connector password. PKI has exposed the `pki_ajp_secret` configuration value that allows IPA to generate and specify their preferred password.

#### Steps to Reproduce

1. Grab Dogtag 10.9.
2. Install a fresh IPA server.
3. Realize that the password is 12 alpha-numeric-with-punctation characters. 

#### Actual behavior

75 bit password.

#### Expected behavior

256-bit password.

#### Version/Release/Distribution

Verified based on pytest-run attached (pytest-run.log). Also runner.log has been attached to show machine is in FIPS mode and also IPA version.
