Is the -no_ecdhe option for s_server working as intended? #652

Open sayrer opened 3 years ago

It looks like it prevents loading curve files, but does it prevent negotiating ECDHE cipher suites?

Hi, Could you explain how do you use s_server and s_client, and what output do you expect ?

Both the -no_dhe and -no_ecdhe options to s_server are based on old behaviour in libssl, which has since changed or been disabled (originally, to use DHE/ECDHE you had to set up various parameters - these options prevented that setup). Both of these are no longer useful and should be removed/deprecated.

If you need this behaviour the simplest option is to use !DHE or !ECDHE in your cipher string (e.g. openssl s_server ... -cipher HIGH:!ECDHE or openssl ciphers -v HIGH:!DHE:!ECDHE).

OK, thanks. It came up in interop testing for Rustls. We're trying to get the interop tests passing with the copy of LibreSSL that ships with macOS Big Sur. https://github.com/ctz/rustls/issues/568
