Re: [openssl-users] libssl.so.1.0.0 -> Java1.6 net.ssl gives: dh key too small:s3_clnt.c:3617:
There may be other solutions but here are two I've used: (1) Upgrade the Java the server uses to a recent Java 8. It should run fine. The product I work in is built with the Java 6 development kit but runs without any problems on Java 6 - 8. (2) Update the server Java 6 to the latest version of 6 with security updates. This is NOT publicly available but is available under support from Oracle. If the server is running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and has support you are able to get the latest Java 6 through Red Hat by adding a special subscription channel and using the standard system update tools to install/update Oracle Java. Don't know about other operating systems.

It does not help generate the keystore with Java1.8 keytool and use this in the Java1.6 server. Is there some workaround? According to the information published by Qualsys, Java 1.6 supports DH group parameters (primes) up to 1024 bit. OpenSSL and other modern clients rejects DH group parameters smaller than 768 or 1024 bits. So configuring the Java 1.6 server to use a (brand new, not shared with other sites) 1024 bit prime in its DH group parameters should be the best available compromise. Upgrading to a current version of Java would allow using a more secure prime size such as 2048 bits or more, but could involve incompatibilities in other parts of Java. I don't know how to tell the SSL/TLS code in Java 1.6 to use specific DH group parameters, or to generate new such parameters on a regular basis (it's a somewhat slow task, so should be done in background while incoming connections use the previous group parameters stored in an on-disk cache of some kind).
