(...) Password authentication is not supported when operating in FIPS 140-2 compliance mode as it requires the use of the DES cipher." Would it be possible for qemu to use a different cipher and re-enable password as an option in VNC console? Is there a technical reason for not using a stronger cipher? ** Affects: qemu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: fips vnc -- = You received this bug notification because you are a member of qemu- devel-ml, which is subscribed to QEMU. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1809252 Title: Password authentication in FIPS-compliant mode Status in QEMU: New Bug description: The documentation states, that: "The VNC protocol has limited support for password based authentication.
