Fixed In Version: crypto-policies-20230731-1.git94f0e2c.el9
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
When generating `permitted_enctypes` `krb5` configuration option, the order of the values now depend on `mac` crypto-policies values order first, `cipher` values order second, instead of the other way around. This has been done to prioritize the more interoperable encryption types by default. If you're using `krb5`, please verify the order of `permitted_enctypes` values in `/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/krb5.config` and apply a custom subpolicy if needed.
