Description Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2014-06-13 09:33:48 UTC 
Please convert to use the system's crypto policy for SSL and TLS:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/CryptoPolicy#Scope

If this program is compiled against gnutls, change the default priority string to be "@SYSTEM" or to use gnutls_set_default_priority().

If this program is compiled against openssl, and there is no default cipher list specified, you don't need to modify it. Otherwise replace the default cipher list with "PROFILE=SYSTEM".

If this program obtains its cipher list (or priority) using a configuration file, please update the shipped configuration files with the appropriate string that sets the system policy.

In all cases verify (as described in the URL above) that the application uses the system's crypto profiles.

Please contact me for any questions.

A quick reminder; this is a blocker for #1076390. if you have no resources to pursue that please contact me.
Comment 2 Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2014-08-08 13:24:16 UTC 
Any update on this issue?
Comment 3 Michal Hlavinka 2014-08-08 14:11:06 UTC 
Not yet. 
As I understand it, given the configuration, it should be enough to change /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-ssl.conf ssl_cipher_list to PROFILE=SYSTEM.

I've tried that together with changig system configuration from legacy to future, but it changed nothing. I did not yet have the time to investigate why nothing happened.
Comment 4 Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2014-09-11 10:07:46 UTC 
Hi, is there any way I can help to speed that up?
Comment 5 Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2014-10-27 15:01:46 UTC 
No longer blocks the Fedora change. However, the packet needs to be updated to adhere to the policy anyway.
Comment 6 Jaroslav Reznik 2015-03-03 16:01:43 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 22 development cycle.
Changing version to '22'.

When you change the system policy you need to run update-crypto-policies.
What is the blocker for that issue?
