Susan Hinrichs commented on TS-3136:
------------------------------------
Talking with more people, some clients (namely Java 7 clients
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLS#DHE_and_Java) do not support
DH parameters greater than 1024 bits. In ATS, the default parameters are 2048
bits (1024 bit parameters are vulnerable to attack). It is possible that your
increase in error count was due to older clients trying to negotiate DHE but
failing once the too large parameters were presented.
I think this is another argument against enabling DHE protocols by default. To
usefully support DHE, you need to understand your client base.
