Re: Turing off SSLv2 and SSLv3 support

Hi Mike:

We just went through this on our PCI environment . We use a free service
from qualys ssl labs
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/ This online service tests the ssl
certificates and server configuration of the
server in question. After ssllabs completes its assessment the report will
show a handshake simulation
section (along with a ton of other stuff) showing the results of the ssl
handshake of various platforms and browsers.

You are correct older browsers like IE 6 will not be able to by default
connect with your server. I do think there
is a setting in IE 6 that enables TLS 1.0 but its not checked/enabled by
default.

Hope this helps.

Jim

Did anyone encounter any issues after turning off SSLv2 and SSLv3 support
on their system? Our PCI scan this quarter says it has to be disabled or
we will not be considered in compliance. I believe the only issue with
doing this is that some users with very old browsers will not be able to
negotiate an secure connection.
