Martin Choma commented on ELY-1369:
-----------------------------------

So do I understand correctly, that to enable new mechanisms only thing to do is to specify auth-method in web.xml to be DIGEST-SHA-256 or DIGEST-SHA-512-256 ?

> Elytron HTTP DIGEST authentication comply to rfc2617 - which means MD5 is used by default (it means it is hardcode, with no way to configure another hash algorithm). But MD5 could make troubles in fips environment [5].
> {code:java|title=DigestAuthenticationMechanism.java}
>         String algorithm = convertToken(ALGORITHM, responseTokens.get(ALGORITHM));
>         if (MD5.equals(algorithm) == false) {
>             throw log.mechUnsupportedAlgorithm(getMechanismName(), algorithm);
>         }
> {code}
> There exists proposed rfc7616 which makes algorithm configurable, work on new DIGEST features are covered by [1]. [~dlofthouse] is it planned for [1] to target 7.1?
