[openssl-users] How to increase the priority of some cipher ?

[李明]

The environment is quite simple，client use apachebench to  test the performance of a https server
the apachebench command is like this： ab -c 500 -n 1000000 https://xx.xx.xx.xx/
TLSv1.2,AES256-GCM-SHA384  ： the server can handle more than 1500 requests per second（cpu ： 99%）。
TLSv1.2 ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 :  the server can ONLY handle 500 requests per second（cpu ：99%）。

I am curious about this statement that "(EC)DHE cost much more resources than RSA".  In particular, ECDHE is supposed to be less computation-intensive than RSA for a given security level, so it would be interesting to hear what your setup is where the reverse is supposed to be observed.

just find it, 
 server respect client's cipher preference  by default,  
 it selects the suite preferred by client among the cipherlist that both the client and server support.
 so it's not enough to just increase RSA cipher priority on server side ,  
 SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE will make the server select the suite that itself most prefer among the cipherlist that both the client and server support.

Hello, 
   Currently, openssl prefer (EC)DHE handshakes over plain RSA, but (EC)DHE cost much more resouces than RSA.
   In order to get higher performance , I want to  prioritize RSA related ciphers, does anyone knows how to do it.
   
   I have tried cipherlist "RSA:ALL:!COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT:!eNULL" , it looks fine in openssl command line
   ./openssl ciphers -v 'RSA:ALL:!COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT:!eNULL' 
AES256-GCM-SHA384       TLSv1.2 Kx=RSA      Au=RSA  Enc=AESGCM(256) Mac=AEAD
AES128-GCM-SHA256       TLSv1.2 Kx=RSA      Au=RSA  Enc=AESGCM(128) Mac=AEAD
AES256-SHA256           TLSv1.2 Kx=RSA      Au=RSA  Enc=AES(256)  Mac=SHA256
AES128-SHA256           TLSv1.2 Kx=RSA      Au=RSA  Enc=AES(128)  Mac=SHA256
AES256-SHA              SSLv3 Kx=RSA      Au=RSA  Enc=AES(256)  Mac=SHA1
AES128-SHA              SSLv3 Kx=RSA      Au=RSA  Enc=AES(128)  Mac=SHA1
ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 TLSv1.2 Kx=ECDH     Au=ECDSA Enc=AESGCM(256) Mac=AEAD


 but, after SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list(ctx, "RSA:ALL:!COMPLEMENTOFDEFAULT:!eNULL")  in my application, it didn't work, the first choice is still ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
