Hi All,
I have searched the archives and forums and cannot find an answer to this question. Does mariadb support FIPS, and if so, how or where is a document about this.
Yes, it does. The link was earlier in the thread.
I use mariadb 10.3.17 with OpenSSL 1.0.2 with FIPS enabled, all built from source.
The fact that it works means that MariaDB supports FIPS, right? :)
In FIPS mode, SHA1 is disallowed by openssl, as required by FIPS. However, when I search the mariadb code, SHA1 is used in many places.
FIPS doesn't disallow SHA1. As far as I understand, it only doesn't allow to use SHA1 for digital signatures. And MariaDB doesn't do that.
How can I update mariadb to use sha256, without a ton of recoding?
you cannot. if you don't want to use SHA1, use a different authentication plugin, for example, ed25519 or PAM. Regards, Sergei VP of MariaDB Server Engineering and security@mariadb.org
