Default Enabled Cipher Suites Preference ## FIPS Mode Changes - FIPS mode

detection now takes place via a call to the NSS library - The `SunPKCS11`

provider in FIPS mode will now eagerly login to the NSS software token on

initialisation - `keytool` in FIPS mode now supports importing plain private

keys by the provider adding them to the NSS database. This can be disabled using

`-Dcom.redhat.fips.plainKeySupport=false`.

- Port FIPS system detection support to OpenJDK 8u

- Minor code cleanups on FIPS detection patch and check for SECMOD_GetSystemFIPSEnabled in configure.

- Remove unneeded Requires on NSS as it will now be dynamically linked and detected by RPM.

- Allow plain key import to be disabled with -Dcom.redhat.fips.plainKeySupport=false

- Reduce disk footprint by removing build artifacts by default.

* Thu Oct 7 2021 Martin Balao - 1:1.8.0.312.b07-1

- Detect FIPS using SECMOD_GetSystemFIPSEnabled in the new libsystemconf JDK library.

- Add patch to login to the NSS software token when in FIPS mode.

- Add patch to allow plain key import.
