+Subject: [PATCH] Correction for fips error
+
+When running on a fips enabled system we encounter the following
+error:
+
+PLUGIN_BUG(2): [digital envelope routines] unsupported Data: Traceback (most recent call last):
+...
+  File "/usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/lsm/_common.py", line 348, in md5
+    h = hashlib.md5()
+ValueError: [digital envelope routines] unsupported
+
+Utilize the usedforsecurity=False parameter to md5 to indicate that our
+use is not for security related purposes.
