Hi, I just joined the list. I'm a Linux system admin with (among other things) about 20 CentOS 7.6 desktops under my wing. Yesterday I posted a question to the ASK site [1], because one of my users had issues with password-protected docs after getting his new laptop. I now have confirmed that this issue is related to our desktops being FIPS enabled ( kernel/grub2 with fips=1 ).
I joined the list to further this discussion and determine if I should file a bug report or what. The gist of the problem is that when FIPS is enabled, a user can encrypt a document, but not decrypt the document, and LO reports that the password provided was incorrect. I am not very technical with how LO does password protection, but this seems like an bug. FIPS causes the system to disable non-compliant ciphers and algorithms, but I'm guessing that there is some piece of code that's calling a non-compliant function only on decrypt, and not on encrypt...or (less likely) the encrypt side isn't throwing an error when it should. Would this be the right place to hold such a discussion?
