Summary: Misleading documentation regarding "strong" encryption
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.0-HEAD
Platform: PC
URL: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/ssl/ssl_howto.html#
onlystrong
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
The SSL howtos are misleading users into configuring mod_ssl using the
following directives:
SSLProtocol all
SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM
Which is plain wrong for two reasons:
- it allows ssl2
- it enables ADH ciphers
The default configuration is more secure than this one!
While strictly speaking, it does what it says it does : "accepts strong
encryption only", end users also care about authentication.
