To date*, in order to agree a DH-ephemeral or ECDH-ephemeral suite, 
the server must be configured with "temporary" DH/ECDH parameters:
https://www.openssl.org/docs/ssl/SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh_callback.html
tmp_ecdh* is similar but has no manpage. Is it?

For ECDHE, the temporary parameters must be a curve allowed by the 
client's list of supported curves. For openssl clients (except RedHat) 
all standard "named" curves are allowed, but other clients may differ. 
P-256 and P-384, and maybe P-521, seem to be most widely supported,
and therefore probably the best choices in general.

* 1.0.2 is expected to have some more convenient options in this area.
