Fix Recommendation

Configure BIND to use the systemwide crypto 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 that BIND uses the system crypto policy with the following command:

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