Re: IE with 56 bits encryption

[James Lyon]

I've also noticed this problem with IE4.01, which I fixed for one user by
upgrading to 128bit encryption.

There is a fix available for "SGC cryptography" (q249863i.exe). This answers
a question posted by James Lyon ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) entitled "IE4 okay
with latest mod_ssl" which is very much related. Details are at

n&FR=0

It's not worked for me yet, but I'm going to try getting an entire 128-bit upgrade and see if that fixes it instead. I suspect it will since it's IE4's failure to cope with the negotiation for non-128-bit.
 

Bottom line - neither is a problem with Apache-mod_ssl but a problem with
Microsoft's implementation of SSL!

Indeed!
