Fixed In Version: python-beaker-1.3.1-7.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Beaker, a middleware dedicated to web application's cache and session data management, used to yield unique session identification as hex-encoded MD5 digest of variable inputs. Nowadays, this algorithm is discouraged, and in turn implicitly refused by Python's runtime in case of FIPS mode. Consequence: Some web applications using Beaker for sessions handling may not work correctly under FIPS mode. Fix: In parallel with upstream development, session identification is yielded as base64-encoded SHA1 digest of variable inputs. Result: Beaker no longer actively uses MD5 in the default setup, so even the session handling in respective web applications does not suffer in FIPS mode.

Proposed patch

Upstream is a bit further as of now, however still contains very similar
bits; analogous patch proposed [1].  Based on the feedback, also the
current patch may change, otherwise I consider it final.

Polished patch

This reflects the changes proposed to upstream more tightly
(all md5 uses converted + fix a "seld" typo).

New pull request (rebased on the current head, also turned to be CI passing
whereas the new changes passed as well) accepted: [2]
