Fix Recommendation

Configure RHEL 10 BIND to use the systemwide cryptographic policy.

Add the following line to the "options" section in "/etc/named.conf":

include "/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/bind.config";

Check Contents

Note: If the "bind" package is not installed, this requirement is not applicable.

Verify RHEL 10 BIND uses the systemwide cryptographic policy with the following command:

$ sudo grep include /etc/named.conf
include "/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/bind.config";'

If BIND is installed and the BIND config file does not contain the include "/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/bind.config" directive, or the line is commented out, this is a finding.
