Fix Recommendation

Configure BIND to use the system crypto policy.

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

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

Check Contents

Verify BIND uses the system crypto policy with the following command:

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

$ 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 include "/etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/bind.config" directive or the line is commented out, this is a finding.
