Sorry, somehow hit enter too early :/

Nevertheless, this is a bit blind shot, since I really don't know what might be the root cause of my issues. But since I updated my Rawhide last week, I have issues connecting to some sites using FF due to errors like:

~~~
An error occurred during a connection to ****.com. Při komunikaci protokolem SSL byl v inicializační zprávě typu Server Key Exchange obdržen slabý klíč typu Diffie-Hellman. Error code: SSL_ERROR_WEAK_SERVER_EPHEMERAL_DH_KEY
~~~

I have similar issues connecting my TB to the mail server [1]. I have not updated neither FF nor TB, so it must be something else. Any idea what it could be? I can provide you list of updated libraries if that helps.

Actually, this might be crypto-policies, which were updated as well:

Thank you for reporting that. Could you please move that issue to the tracking bug of the change? We are already aware of the fact that some internal (usually) sites fail to work with the new rule, but it is good to have it explicit.

Sorry, I am not sure what do you mean by this. Should I comment there and close this one or should I just block the tracking bug by this one?
Comment 6 Vít Ondruch 2018-02-26 15:31:03 UTC 
BTW if you can send a short note to fedora-devel that this change landed and it might cause some issues, it could save some time to Rawhide users.

Also, for FF and TB, there is workaround. In about:config change every "dhe" option to "False", although it works for some sites but breaks others.

Comment 8 Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos 2018-02-26 15:39:28 UTC 
Yes, please close that one and report the issue (+the sites affected) in #1534532. I've just sent a fedora-devel update on that.
