Enterprise Linux systems (RedHat, AlmaLinux, ...) starting from major version 8 provide a system wide crypto policy mechanism that also affects openssl.
See also https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/security_hardening/using-the-system-wide-cryptographic-policies_security-hardening

The openssl.cnf file of these Enterprise Linux systems contain lines to include the system crypto policies. before the [ca] section.

openssl_conf = openssl_init
[openssl_init]
ssl_conf = ssl_module
[ ssl_module ]
system_default = crypto_policy
[ crypto_policy ]
.include = /etc/crypto-policies/back-ends/opensslcnf.config

When using this puppet module for openssl these policies are not respected.
Would it be possible to include these crypto policy mechanism in the creation of the openssl.cnf file?
A free text block snippet that can be specified as a string parameter for the config template would be one idea and enable even more additional configs.

Any comments or ideas are very apprechiated.

Thank you very much.
