Thanks Harald for your reply. I do not disagree with anything you said. Unfortunately we cannot tell the US Govt that their requirements are stupid. When openssl is in FIPS mode, md5 & sha1 are disabled for everyone. So any usage from mariadb (linked with openssl) will fail.

I use mariadb 10.3.17 with OpenSSL 1.0.2 with FIPS enabled, all built from source. 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. How can I update mariadb to use sha256, without a ton of recoding? Any tips appreciated.
outside of encryption code nothing is wrong with SHA1 depending on the usecase and without context "SHA1 is used in many place" is a useless statement
there are even usecases where MD4 is just fine
againb: not every usage of a hash function is security related or collisions prone and in that case it would be pretty dumb use a much slower sha256 hash
