Hi Mike,


Are these directives dependent on what SSL mod was compiled into Apache ? Do I ignore what the non-iseries Apache manuals say about SSL and only look at what IBM says ?


I think you're on the right track. See, Apache isn't really one program -- it's a collection of modules. Each module can have it's own configuration directives.


You could even write your own module, maybe call it "mod_mike", and have configuration directives such as "IWannaBeLikeMike on" :)

Anyway... In the case of SSLCipherSpec it's a keyword that's used by a module called "mod_ibm_ssl" this is the IBM SSL module.

Whereas, "SSLCipherSuite" is part of a module called "mod_ssl" which is an SSL module based on the OpenSSL open-source encryption library. AFIAK, OpenSSL doesn't currently run on the iSeries, but maybe someone will port it some day. If they ever do, then you'd have a choice as to whether you prefer to use "mod_ibm_ssl" vs. "mod_ssl". And, at that point, the difference between SSLCipherSpec and SSLCipherSuite would become important :)
