Please correct if I'm wrong. But this ITS seems to be about using the cipher
suites based on elliptic curves with EC server key/cert.

But what about just the DHE-RSA cipher suites like DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA for
TLSv1 with RSA-based server key/cert?

Why does Apache support this out-of-the-box and OpenLDAP 2.4.36 does not?
Do I have to configure something else?

Ciao, Michael.
