Configure BIND to use System Crypto Policy
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Crypto Policies provide a centralized control over crypto algorithms usage of many packages.
BIND is supported by crypto policy, but the BIND configuration may be
set up to ignore it.
To check that Crypto Policies settings are configured correctly, ensure that the /etc/named.conf
includes the appropriate configuration:
In the options section of /etc/named.conf, make sure that the following line
is not commented out or superseded by later includes:
include "/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/bind.config";
Rationale
Overriding the system crypto policy makes the behavior of the BIND service violate expectations, and makes system configuration more fragmented.
