In section 7, there is a description of how the netconf server finds the

It talks about a certificate fingerprint without a reference to a
specific algorithm.
I'm aware of multiple algorithms for fingerprints.
This text is probably too vague for interoperability.

Since the fingerprints are not exchanged over the wire, this is a
local problem. That said, there is a YANG configuration data model in
draft-ietf-netconf-server-model-06 that clarifies details for those
implementations that want interoperable configuration and this data
model uses tls-fingerprint defined in RFC 7407.
