Description Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2015-01-06 14:42:11 UTC 
Please convert this application to use the system's crypto policy for SSL and TLS:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:CryptoPolicies

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".

In both cases please verify that the application uses the system's crypto policies.

If the package is already using the system-wide crypto policies, or it does not use SSL or TLS, no action is required, the bug can simply be closed.
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2015-01-06 15:17:37 UTC 
How does one 'verify' that it's using the system crypto policy?

Are there dependencies that should be set that ensure it's not used on an older release that doesn't support it?
Comment 2 Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2015-01-06 15:27:56 UTC 
The easiest to verify is switch to the FUTURE policy and test with various servers. Most connections will fail because of insufficient security (e.g., to www.amazon.com). Switching back to default would make that work again.

Crypto policies are supported from F21 and later.
Comment 3 Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2015-01-06 15:29:13 UTC 
If you mean about source code dependencies, if you use gnutls_set_default_priority() by default, it is available on almost all gnutls versions.
Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2015-06-30 03:43:24 UTC 
Closing as WORKSFORME, same logic as 1179275.
