RHEL7.9 3.10.0-1160.31.1.el7.x86_64

I can run Systemctl restart dovecot then status or

/usr/libexec/dovecot/ssl-params and I get the following error.

Info: Generating SSL parameters

Fatal: ssl_iostream_generate_params(4096) failed: DH_generate_parameters(bits=512, gen=2) failed: error:0506A06E:lib(5):func(106):reason(110), error 0506A003:lib(5):func(106):reason(3)

Error: child process failed with status 22784

I can generate a diffie-hellman pem with

openssl dhparam -out /etc/dovecot/dh.pem 4096

But dovecot 2.2.36 does not have the option of telling it where the dh.pem file is located in the config like version 2.3 does.

Is my error related to FIPS and is there a way around it?

My dovecot version is:

Dovecot version 2.2.36 release 8.el7

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help out, I know it’s voluntary 🙏

Thanks,
