Description

Currently you can use settings to tell Pulp which hashers can (and can't) be used. This is primarily for FIPS related use cases.

This RFE is requesting that a user can configure this per-domain. We have a limited number of domains who (for reasons totally beyond their control) have to sync RPM repos with SHA1 checksums. To me, ideal situation would be:

If unspecified, the existing system-wide defaults prevail (the existing settings), but a domain can have an optional config (somehow) that allows that domain to override the allowed checksums config.

Research direction

No files, tests, or implementation entry points are named. Start by locating the existing system-wide hasher settings and the domain configuration model or API, then determine how an optional per-domain override can fall back to those defaults; done means domain-specific allowed hashers work without changing unspecified domains.
