`sshd_use_approved_ciphers` and `sshd_use_approved_macs` mandated usage of FIPS-enabled algorithms, I have replaced them with FIPS crypto policy setup rules.

The inspection completed: No new issues |

This PR makes sense to me. @shawndwells agree or foresee any issues? |
|
How do we make sure the available ciphers are only those that are FIPS validated, vs the machine being in FIPS mode? |
|
@shawndwells Crypto policies are only about setting algorithms in sshd, TLS, SSL libraries etc. The policy may be set to safe defaults, strong settings, legacy settings and FIPS settings, which is the case in this PR. |
Yes, command |
|
@shawndwells do the statements above satisfy your questions? |

@redhatrises yeah, seems good! |
sshd_use_approved_ciphersandsshd_use_approved_macsmandated usage of FIPS-enabled algorithms, I have replaced them with FIPS crypto policy setup rules.Since introduction of crypto policies, those old rules are completely irrelevant - all modifications to the sshd config is overriden by current crypto policy setup in RHEL8 and Fedora.
Those rules were not present in Fedora profiles.
