It is, the idea is to define exception in the system crypto policy
used by the system. There is multiple ways to do this:

 [ 
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/security_hardening/using-the-system-wide-cryptographic-policies_security-hardening
 ]

See sections:

 - 3.5. Excluding an application from following system-wide crypto policies
 - 3.6. Customizing system-wide cryptographic policies with policy modifiers
 - 3.7. Creating and setting a custom system-wide cryptographic policy

It's not as quick and simple as editing one configuration file,
but this should not be too difficult to implement. The issue here
is that this mechanism is new in Red Hat/CentOS 8 and some people may
not be aware of it.
