411+ 2017-07-31 [c0a15e07c] Always use 2048 bit DH parameters for OpenSSL ephemeral
412+ -->
413+ <para>
414+ Add configuration option <xref linkend="guc-ssl-dh-params-file"> to
415+ specify filename for custom OpenSSL DH parameters (Heikki Linnakangas)

419+ This replaces the hardcoded, undocumented <filename>dh1024.pem</>
420+ filename. Note that <filename>dh1024.pem</> is no longer used by default;
421+ you must set the option to use custom DH parameters.

430+ Increase the size of DH parameters used for OpenSSL ephemeral DH ciphers
431+ to 2048 bits (Heikki Linnakangas)

433+
434+ <para>
435+ The size of the compiled-in DH parameters has been increased from 1024
436+ to 2048 bits, making DH key exchange more resistent to a brute-force
437+ attack. However, some old SSL implementations, notably some revisions of
438+ Java Runtime Environment version 6, will not accept DH parameters longer
439+ than 1024 bits, and will not be able to connect over SSL. As a
440+ work-around, you can use custom 1024-bit DH parameters, instead of the
441+ compiled-in defaults. See <xref linkend="guc-ssl-dh-params-file"> for
442+ information on using custom DH parameters.
