  • This can be fixed by running following command on Rocky Linux 8 which switches the system-wide cryptographic policy to the LEGACY level to allow using the deprecated protocols.:
# update-crypto-policies --set LEGACY

Origin of the Problem

  • Following error could be seen due to reason that in Rocky Linux 8, TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 protocols are disabled in the DEFAULT system-wide cryptographic policy level.
