Configure Kerberos to use System Crypto Policy
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Crypto Policies provide a centralized control over crypto algorithms usage of many packages. Kerberos is supported by crypto policy, but it's configuration may be set up to ignore it. To check that Crypto Policies settings for Kerberos are configured correctly, examine that there is a symlink at /etc/krb5.conf.d/crypto-policies targeting /etc/cypto-policies/back-ends/krb5.config. If the symlink exists, Kerberos is configured to use the system-wide crypto policy settings.
Rationale
Overriding the system crypto policy makes the behavior of Kerberos violate expectations, and makes system configuration more fragmented.
