If "strong" primes were used to generate the DH parameters, it is not strictly

can supply the DH parameters via a callback function.
The B<tmp_dh_callback> is called with the B<keylength> needed and
the B<is_export> information. The B<is_export> flag is set, when the
ephemeral DH key exchange is performed with an export cipher.
Previous versions of the callback used B<is_export> and B<keylength>
parameters to control parameter generation for export and non-export
cipher suites. Modern servers that do not support export ciphersuites
are advised to either use SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh() in combination with
SSL_OP_SINGLE_DH_USE, or alternatively, use the callback but ignore
B<keylength> and B<is_export> and simply supply at least 2048-bit
parameters in the callback.
