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.

This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #2023467

I am copying this bug because: 

RHEL 9 needs to be kept in sync.

In the context of RH1991003, we implemented an enhancement to import plain secret and private keys (i.e.: obtained from a file-based keystore) into the NSS Software token in FIPS mode. The goal now is to enable the reverse operation: export keys in plain from the NSS Software Token while in FIPS mode.

The scope will be initially constrained to keys of CKO_SECRET_KEY class, as this is what we require for TLS 1.3 key-derivation in FIPS mode (see RH2020290). In the future, we might extend the exporter functionality to support keys of CKO_PRIVATE_KEY class.

In the same way that for the importer functionality, the exporter can be disabled by means of the 'com.redhat.fips.plainKeySupport' system property: -Dcom.redhat.fips.plainKeySupport=false. Default behavior is enabled.

As part of this work, we aim to implement several code, debugging and reliability improvements to the FIPS Key Importer.
