@ecole36 To clarify, it is not OpenSSL that requires the 16 bytes, it is
the FIPS certification that requires the 16 bytes. So disable the 16
byte requirement and you're no longer FIPS certified.

To fully answer your question, we really need someone from Field Support
that knows how to configure and run Dovecot to put together a procedure
and test it out so that we can have a documented way to upgrade. My
expertise is the OpenSSL side and I had to learn just enough about
Dovecot to run the basic tests to pass the build.

Title:
  [SRU] Enabling FIPS causes SALT to be 8 bytes, but OpenSSL 3.0.2
  checks if SALT is < 16 bytes, breaking Dovecot and possibly other
  packages.
