Check Text (C-216098r1016291_chk)
Determine which cryptographic algorithms are configured.
# grep ^CRYPT /etc/security/policy.conf
If the command output does not include the lines below, this is a finding.
CRYPT_DEFAULT=6
CRYPT_ALGORITHMS_ALLOW=5,6
Fix Text (F-17334r986445_fix)
The root role is required.
Configure the system to disallow the use of UNIX encryption and enable SHA256 as the default encryption hash.
# pfedit /etc/security/policy.conf
Check that the following lines exist and are not commented out:
CRYPT_DEFAULT=6
CRYPT_ALGORITHMS_ALLOW=5,6
