[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1809252] [NEW] Password authentication in FIPS-compliant mode |

Public bug reported:
The documentation states, that:
"The VNC protocol has limited support for password based authentication.
(...) Password authentication is not supported when operating in FIPS
140-2 compliance mode as it requires the use of the DES cipher."
Would it be possible for qemu to use a different cipher and re-enable
password as an option in VNC console? Is there a technical reason for
not using a stronger cipher?
** Affects: qemu
