The default cipher of executable 'openssl'

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

We are using executable 'apps/openssl' in our test cases. We upgraded from
OpenSSL 1.0.1l to OpenSSL 1.0.2a recently. Since then one of our test cases
started to fail. After checking, I noticed that the default cipher of
'openssl' was changed from ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA to DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA in
OpenSSL 1.0.2. The related description in OpenSSL 1.0.2 change log is as
follows.

474   *) Support for automatic EC temporary key parameter selection. If
enabled 
475      the most preferred EC parameters are automatically used instead of 
476      hardcoded fixed parameters. Now a server just has to call: 
477      SSL_CTX_set_ecdh_auto(ctx, 1) and the server will automatically 
478      support ECDH and use the most appropriate parameters. 
479      [Steve Henson] 

My question is how to enable automatic EC temporary key parameter selection?
Is it possible to change the default cipher back to ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA?

Thanks,
Aaron
