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 Andrew John Hughes 2022-02-16 19:30:25 UTC 
This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #2052070

I am copying this bug because: 

Need to fix this in RHEL 9 too.

As noticed while developing the FIPS Key Importer enhancement for java-17-openjdk, some AlgorithmParameters services are required in FIPS mode. As indicated by their name, these services are used to hold data later used as input for crypto services. It is worth noticing that none of them implement the actual crypto primitives, so enabling them should not affect FIPS compliance in any sense. An analogous case can be described for AlgorithmParameterGenerator services.

In the context of fixing this bug, we should consider the following approaches:

1) Enabling all AlgorithmParameters and AlgorithmParameterGenerator services under the rationale that they do not affect FIPS compliance, that they might be required in the future or even now by yet-to-be-uncovered bugs;

2) Enabling only those known to be required at this time and update the list in farther iterations if needed;

3) Perform a thorough static analysis to determine exactly what is required now and enable the rest only if needed in the future; and,

4) Something in-between #1, #2 and #3.

As demonstrated in a first analysis of this issue, the approach #3 has more complexity than what it looks like.
