Research direction

Start by comparing the existing .github/workflows files with the referenced s2i-nodejs-container FIPS workflow and review test/test-lib-nodejs.sh. Check /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled and define tests for both host-disabled and host-enabled FIPS cases, including Python application detection. Done means the workflow runs and both requested test cases pass or fail as specified.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It would be nice to test in upstream also python container in case of FIPS is enabled on host machine.

  1. In case of FIPS mode is disabled on host, then Python FIPS mode should not be execute at all or it should fail.
  2. In case of FIPS mode is enabled on host, then detection if FIPS mode from python point of view has to passed.

The detection of FIPS mode is present in this file /proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled.

It would be nice to have two test cases.
