BIG-IP SSL when using ciphers ECDHE_ECDSA and DHE_DSS does not work consistently with OpenSSL clients using OpenSSL versions 1.0.1k or later.
SSL handshake failed. The OpenSSL clients might encounter a decryption error while reading the server key exchange.
When the ciphers used are ECDHE_ECDSA or DHE_DSS, and the OpenSSL clients have versions later than OpenSSL 1.0.1k.
Use OpenSSL versions earlier than OpenSSL 1.0.1k.
BIG-IP SSL now works well with ciphers ECDHE_ECDSA or DHE_DSS with OpenSSL client version OpenSSL 1.0.1k and later.
