Thank you for the information, Heikki. I understood from the RedHat documentation you pointed out that no matter what crypto policy I specify, I cannot use TLSv1.1 or earlier on RHEL9. On the other hand, I have confirmed that connections using TLSv1.1 or earlier are possible even on RHEL9 by using the package "compat-openssl11". I suspect that this is not covered by the crypto policy. I would like to report this with gratitude.

See RedHat documentation about their system-wide crypto policies: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/9/html/security_hardening/using-the-system-wide-cryptographic-policies_security-hardening There's, for example, a table that tells that TLSv1.1 and earlier are not enabled by default. With RHEL 8 they could be enabled, but with 9 it seems the can not. Even with command 'update-crypto-policies' it appears not possible to enable TLSv1.0.
