As it is now, the System-wide crypto policy in F25 is enforced by the
OpenSSL, GnuTLS and NSS TLS libraries. To harmonize crypto across all
applications in Fedora, including the Java ones, OpenJDK is enhanced
to respect the settings of the system-wide crypto policy as well.


== Detailed Description ==
As it is now, the System-wide crypto policy in F25 is enforced by the
OpenSSL, GnuTLS and NSS TLS libraries. To harmonize crypto across all
applications in Fedora, including the Java ones, OpenJDK is enhanced
to respect the settings of the system-wide crypto policy as well.

After that change the administrator should be assured that any Java
application will follow a policy that adheres to the configured
profile.


== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
The change requires modifying OpenJDK to read additional security
properties from the generated by the crypto policies file
(/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/java.config).

* Other developers:
There are no required actions by other developers. The change requires
only targeted changes to openjdk and crypto-policies.

* Release engineering:
No actions required.

* Policies and guidelines:
The packaging guidelines for crypto policies need to be modified to
include OpenJDK/java in the list of libraries supporting the policies.

* Trademark approval:
N/A (not needed for this Change)
