Add support for configurable TLS protocol version in IRIA/IRNA integrations

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We are currently integrating IRIA (IBM Rapid Infrastructure Automation) with legacy Cisco ASA devices that only support TLS v1.0. However, IRIA’s default Node.js HTTPS agent uses TLS v1.2, and there is currently no way to configure or downgrade the minimum TLS version used by the integration logic.

This limitation causes the connection to fail due to TLS version mismatches, resulting in errors like unsupported protocol during SSL handshake. While Node.js supports flags such as --tls-min-v1.0 to allow older protocols, there is currently no setting in IRIA to apply this behavior specifically for integrations.
Allow IRIA users to specify the minimum and/or maximum TLS protocol version in the authentication or integration schema. This setting would enable backward compatibility with older network equipment, such as TLS v1.0-only Cisco ASA firewalls.

    @Guest TLS1.1 is a version of TLS from 2006 that is deprecated and disallowed by the internet standards and regulatory bodies, as well as vulnerable to multiple attacks. or these reasons, TLS1.1 is end of support in most services from years ago.


    By default, TLS1.1 cannot be used in the RIA / Concert Workflows worker at this time.RIA / Concert Workflows will be FedRamp certified in its next release. TLS1.1 is not allowed by FedRamp / FIPS, therefore it is not possible to implement a working solution from the integration side. Migrating containers to UBI will also prevent the use of TLS1.1, which is disabled or removed by default in OpenSSL.

    We recommend that the client side upgrade to a supported TLS version.
