There have been multiple submitted fixes to this, I submitted a fix to Redhat
myself. And they are not willing to add it to their EL7 at this point.

Subject: ssl_params error on RHEL7 FIPS enabled
[External Email]
All,
The machine I?m running dovecot on is:
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,
