FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-05:21.openssl

[David Coder]

Hi, Jacques,

The mod_ssl how-to explains how to run an SSLv2-only Apache server, but not
SSLv2, but assuming that the httpd.conf syntax is the same I thought I'd
substitute the two lines 

	SSLProtocol -all +SSLv3
	SSLCipherSuite SSLv3:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+EXP

for the line

SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL

in that file.  Any idea whether this is correct?

Thx.  Hope you're well!

David
