| What I have seen in my trials with s_server and s_client is that if run s_server with an ECDSA cert/key and I specify one RSA and one ECDSA cipher with the -cipher option, then s_client can only connect to it using the ECDSA cipher. I have been unsuccessful in connecting to this server using a RSA cipher. RSA cipher fail shows up at the s_server as
140480482967256:error:1408A0C1:SSL routines:ssl3_get_client_hello:no shared cipher:s3_srvr.c:1417:
Your thoughts on this?

Ah, right - you are using client auth. The choice of client certificatehas nothing to do with the underlying ciphersuite - it is chosenindependently. When client auth is in use you should see the serversending a CertificateRequest message to the client. ThatCertificateRequest contains within it the list of acceptable certificatetypes.Matt

I have been looking at WebRTC DTLS handshake and don’t understand the
logic of how it works.
My Firefox client has support for both RSA and ECDSA ciphers while my
DTLS server only supports DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA and has a RSA key. I see
that Firefox sends a ECDSA key during client hello. What ends up
happening is that DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA is selected. I would have
expected the negotiation to fail due to there being no common
ciphers.
I also verified this behavior using the OpenSSL s_server and s_client
utilities. Seems to me that as long as s_server has a cert and key of
the type of cipher I enforce with ‘-cipher’ option the negotiation
succeeds irrespective of the type of key the s_client (provided that
cipher is also supported by the client).
Your terminology is slightly confusing. No keys are sent in the
ClientHello at all. You should see a list of all the ciphersuites that
the client supports being sent in the ClientHello and then the server
should respond with a ServerHello which picks a ciphersuite from that
list.
