If you do a locate on openssl, you will see:
cat /etc/netwitness/ng/rabbitmq/legacy-ssl/config/openssl.cnf - rabbitmq defaults to sha1-2048 AES
cat /etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf – all TLS defaults to openssl standards as well for sha1-2048 AES
Here’s some other context:
We use a FIPS validated version of OpenSSL to secure appliance to appliance communications. We don't specify the actual parameters; it is negotiated between the client and the server.
According to OpenSSL, here is the cipher suite list. The client program, Jetty, or NwConsole sends this list of supported algorithms to the server. Since server components also use the same openssl build, the client and server will choose the first option in the list, which is DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA.

Password authentication is hashed and encrypted as noted below:
It’s a SALT type hash.
a. On the hello message, the server returns a random value.
b. The client requests the user password, which is then SHA-256 hashed. That hash is then hashed with the random value, producing another hash which is sent to the server.
c. The server then compares that hash, with the user’s stored hash, which is also hashed with the random value sent to the client. If the 2 hashes match, then it’s the correct password.
All password communications are also encrypted in transit via SSL as specified above.
