I can see that the certificate allow:
            X509v3 Key Usage:
                Key Encipherment

and that means it will issue key usage violation for all ciphersuites
except for RSA (not even DHE-RSA, just RSA). Thus the server sending
this certificate must be configured to disable all other ciphersuites.
