Confluence Doesn't Support FIPS

Describe the bug

I noticed there hasn't been an issue created in either this repo or Jira's, so I thought I would create it for the communities benefit.

Confluence doesn't support FIPS https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-65618

I noticed that the default values for Jira have FIPS disabled for the JVM which is why we don't see the same issue there.

Is there a workaround to other than disabling FIPS on the JVM that someone can share here?

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Deploy Confluence into a cluster that is enforcing FIPS at an OS level
  2. Go to Confluence and enter license

Expected behavior

Initial setup of confluence succeeds

Actual behavior

Initial setup errors on trying to connect to database: image
