That's it. OpenSSL implements the SHA2 family and is able to use
wherever it needs to (certificate+CRL, CMS, ...), but only implements
TLS1.0 (and in a near future TLS1.1) protocol. SHA256 (member of the
SHA2 family) is defined in ciphersuites defined by TLS1.2, and these
ciphersuites (and the protocol itself) need to be used differently
than what was done previously.
