            We are adding a new puppet-agent package intended to be deployed on FIPS enabled hosts. The new package is linked against system OpenSSL instead of the vendored version in the puppet-agent package. On FIPS enabled hosts, puppet will not use MD5 for file checksums or digital signature algorithms, and will gracefully error if configured to use MD5, e.g. Puppet[:digest_algorithm] = 'md5'. This only affect the puppet-agent package. Future releases will provide FIPS compliance for puppetserver and CA.

            Description

            The problem is that customers using our Puppet and Puppet Enterprise packages cannot meet the FIPS 140-2 requirements because we roll our own OpenSSL and do not link against the OpenSSL provided with RHEL. This causes them to fail "FISMA High" compliance standards.

            This epic is the place to gather the stream of work required to remediate this issue, although some implications (such as for puppet-server) will require tickets outside the PUP jira project.
