[2.2.12] Fail to run Extension in FIPS mode #760

Closed

Description

Hi,

In FIPS mode, the Extension doesn't work sell.
It also impact the VM provisioning if authenticate with ssh key in FIPS mode.

Packages:
RHEL-7.4
WALA-2.2.12
openssl-1.0.2k-8.el7.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Prepare a VM in Azure. Enable FIPS:
    1). yum install dracut-fips
    2). mv -v /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img{,.bak}
    dracut
    3). grubby --update-kernel=$(grubby --default-kernel) --args=fips=1
    uuid=$(findmnt -no uuid /boot)
    [[ -n $uuid ]] && grubby --update-kernel=$(grubby --default-kernel) --args=boot=UUID=${uuid}
    4). reboot
  2. Run "reset remote access" to install an Extension into the VM. There's no error logs in waagent.log
  3. Set "OS.EnableFIPS=y" in /etc/waagent.conf. Restart waagent service
  4. Check if the extension works. Check /var/log/waagent.log

Actual results:
The extension doesn't work. The waagent -run-exthandler process keeps restarting.

The error logs in waagent.log: (Seems the same as #668 )

I run the command manually and also get error messages. My steps:

  1. export OPENSSL_FIPS=1
  2. Run command:

I'm not sure if the openssl pkcs12 is supported in FIPS mode...

    @sriramsa

    Seen in Centos 6.7 too. Agent version WALiuxAgent-2.2.13 .

    I found some solutions recommending using -descert option when dealing with PKCS12.

    I investigated this, and the certificates we receive are not FIPS compliant, so from the agent perspective there is nothing to be done here.

    @sbohlen

    Hans Krijger (@hglkrijger) Are you certain that its only the cert that's the issue here? These issues from RHEL Bugzilla seem to imply its also the encryption being applied:

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1460671
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1461243

    Even with a different cert, am I misunderstanding that the same algo would still be used, seemingly resulting in a (still) invalid encryption for FIPS mode? Note this isn't my area of expertise, so it well be that I'm wrong here....

    Hi Hans Krijger (@hglkrijger) ,
    Do you mean that WALA cannot support FIPS mode? Thanks!

    Yuxin Sun (@yuxisun1217) that's pretty much correct.
