All,

This isn't Tomcat-related, but many folks on this list have this kind
of experience, so I'm asking in case anyone knows.

I'd like to make an HTTPS connection to a server and, if I'm using
non-ephemeral DH key exchange, I'd like to know what the parameters
are for that connection. Actually, I don't really care if it's
ephemeral or not.

What I'm looking for is the ability to make a connection and then warn
if the connection is using "weak" DH parameters. Is that something I
can check at connection-time? Or is the set of DH parameters (or, more
specifically, the *length* of those parameters, in bits) defined by
the cipher suite itself?

For example, the Qualys community thread has an illustration of the
cipher suites that SSLLabs considers "weak" (well, everyone considers
them weak... they just have a public tool which complains about them):
https://community.qualys.com/thread/14821

They specifically mention e.g. TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
which is cipher suite 0x9f and mention the DH parameters. Are those
parameters' parameters baked-into the cipher suite (meaning they are
*always* 1024-bit) or is this a configuration of the server that makes
those cipher suites weak due to the specific DH parameter choice?

In either case, I'd like to be able to sniff that information from the
connection if at all possible. Does anyone know if this can be done,
and how?

Thanks,
- -chris
