      Description of problem:

      On a Satellite 6 server on RHEL 7, where FIPS was enabled at build time, virt-who fails to update Satellite.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      virt-who-0.28.10-1.el7_9.noarch
      satellite-6.11.4-2.el7sat.noarch
      redhat-release-server-7.9-6.el7_9.x86_64

      How reproducible:

      unclear; only one example so far

      Steps to Reproduce:
      1. create a RHEL 7 host with FIPS enabled
      2. install satellite
      3. configure virt-who for a VMware environment
      4. check the logs: /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log, /var/log/foreman-installer/satellite.log, /var/log/secure

      Actual results:

      The Satellite server doesn't show new hypervisors under Hosts > All Hosts, and subscriptions like RHEL for VDC don't work when applied to guests of hypervisors.

      Log entries like these in /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log:

      Nov 30 09:42:07 SERVERNAME /usr/bin/virt-who: 2022-11-30 09:42:07,830 [virtwho.main ERROR] MainProcess(9193):Thread-3 @virt.py:run:416 - Thread 'virt-who-config-2' fails with error: Cannot recv data: FIPS mode initialized#015#012Host key verification failed.: Connection reset by peer
      Nov 30 09:42:07 SERVERNAME /usr/bin/virt-who: 2022-11-30 09:42:07,835 [virtwho.main ERROR] MainProcess(9193):Thread-5 @libvirtd.py:_connect:288 - Error in libvirt backend#012libvirtError: Cannot recv data: Value too large for defined data type

      Expected results:

      The Satellite server should show new hypervisors under Hosts > All Hosts, and subscriptions like RHEL for VDC should work when applied to guests of subscribed hypervisors.
