    SSL Certificate Issue with repo.zabbix.com on RHEL9 with FUTURE Crypto Policy

    ## Problem Description
    I'm experiencing repository access issues when trying to install/update Zabbix on RHEL9 and derivates systems that have the crypto-policies set to `FUTURE`. The error occurs when dnf/yum tries to access the official Zabbix repository:

    ```
    Updating Subscription Management repositories.
    Zabbix Official Repository - x86_64 0.0 B/s | 0 B 00:01
    Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'zabbix':
    - Curl error (60): Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates for https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/6.0/r...ata/repomd.xml [SSL certificate problem: EE certificate key too weak]
    Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'zabbix': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried
    ```

    ## Root Cause
    After investigating the SSL certificates, I found that:

    - **repo.zabbix.com** uses an RSA 2048-bit certificate
    - The FUTURE crypto policy requires RSA keys of 3072 bits or higher
    - Other repositories work fine because they use RSA 4096-bit certificates


    **Could the Zabbix team please upgrade the SSL certificate for repo.zabbix.com to use RSA 3072-bit (or higher) keys?**

    This would resolve the compatibility issue with: RHEL and Rocky systems using FUTURE crypto policy

    ## Environment Details
    - **OS:** Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9
    - **Crypto Policy:** FUTURE (`update-crypto-policies --set FUTURE`)
    - **Repository:** https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/6.0/rhel/8/x86_64/
    - **Issue:** RSA 2048-bit certificate rejected by FUTURE policy (requires 3072+ bits)

    Thanks for considering this enhancement!
