Description
I want to use an RSA certificate because RSA is more widely supported. However, I want to refuse to use straight-RSA key exchange cipherspecs; I want to only ever use RSA+DHE key exchanges because they add perfect forward secrecy. I can't do that because bip doesn't allow me to enter a cipherspec string restricting what types of cipherspecs to use. Basically I want Apache/mod_ssl's <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_ssl.html#sslciphersuite> in bip. This would also allow the administrator to disable other miscellaneous cipherspecs if they prove to be insecure without having to wait for new versions of software to come out.
