1. Proposed title of this feature request

[RFE] Bacula FIPS compliant

2. What is the nature and description of the request?

Would like the Bacula packages provided in rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms to operate under a FIPS enabled RHEL8 deployment

3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

We are a US Federal Government Agency Subject to DISA-STIG, we are required to use FIPS, if a package does not support FIPS we can not use it. RHEL8 is suppose to be FIPS 140-2 compliant, going for FIPS certification, but clearly Bacula, provided in the AppStream REPO is not.
