[jira] [Created] (ARTEMIS-5768) Replace Blowfish algorithm for encoding passwords

Gašper Čefarin created ARTEMIS-5768:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: Replace Blowfish algorithm for encoding passwords
                 Key: ARTEMIS-5768
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-5768
             Project: ActiveMQ Artemis
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: Broker
    Affects Versions: 2.44.0
            Reporter: Gašper Čefarin


This comes from RedHat documentation, where they state it's not possible to use the default encoding algorithm in "FIPS mode" from Activemq Artemis when using their "AMQ broker":

AMQ Broker 7.13 is FIPS-tolerant, which means it automatically runs on a FIPS-enabled OpenShift cluster or RHEL system. One caveat is that the broker cannot use the default codec, org.apache.activemq.artemis.utils.DefaultSensitiveStringCodec, to encode passwords. The default codec uses the Blowfish algorithm, which is not FIPS-tolerant. The Blowfish algorithm is deprecated in 7.13. For more information, see [Disabling FIPS mode|https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_amq_broker/7.13/html-single/deploying_amq_broker_on_openshift/index#proc-br-disable-fips-mode_ocp] in _Deploying AMQ Broker on OpenShift_ and [Disabling FIPS mode|https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_amq_broker/7.13/html-single/configuring_amq_broker/index#proc_br-disabling-fips_configuring] in _Configuring AMQ Broker_.
