Yes, sorry to bother you all, but it seems to be working now. I found that same site myself a few minutes ago, and it told me Netscape 4.73 connected to it using RC4. Then I tried to connect to my own webserver, and it connected to it using 3DES. Must have changed something in the server settings since I last tried it with Netscape...

At first glance it appears you are not afflicted with export restricted ciphers, so it should be OK. - John Airey Internet Systems Support Officer, ITCSD, Royal National Institute for the Blind, Bakewell Road, Peterborough PE2 6XU, Tel.: +44 (0) 1733 375299 Fax: +44 (0) 1733 370848 [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Filip Van Laenen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 12 July 2000 11:21 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: msie AGAIN I have version 4.73 installed, and it says this in the 'About': -- This version supports U.S. security with RSA Public Key Cryptography, MD2, MD5, RC2-CBC, RC4, DES-CBC, DES-EDE3-CBC . -- I find that sentence a bit cryptic (sorry, but I'm not a native speaker): does it mean that it supports those ciphers only in the US? I'm sitting in Norway, and the version I'm running here cannot connect to an SSL-webserver if I don't open the server for ciphers with 40 bit key lengths (or less).

I had a problem similar to yours, but later found out that it was because MSIE doesn't support IDEA, while I was telling the server that it should only accept that algorithm. The thing that made me angry is that the browser just hangs or gives you a stupid message telling it cannot connect, in stead of just telling the truth, namely that it couldn't produce the correct cipher for the server. They must be explicitly hiding that message in MSIE...

Why can't they do anything right? Enough of that, I'm just venting a little. Anyway, I've spent the last two days trouble shooting this msie5x problem with https. I've read and reread the manual and the FAQ. As well as searched for hours on the mailing lists. I have found many things to try, like CipherSuite entries and SSLProtocol. But I have still been unable to resolve the problem. As you can see from my configurartion file I have tried many many things. The server that is giving me problems was the first apache server I did (I used the rpms from RedHat 6.2 apachessl server and loaded all the add on rpms that came with it). Please don't tell me to reinstall not using the rpms it is not an option on this server and yes I have stopped using those freaking rpms. Anyway, could anyone please tell me what I got to do in my httpd.conf file to get msie to view my https server pages. Oh, I have tried to view the https pages with ie5.0, 5.01, 5.5 both 40 and 128 bit encryption and none of them work. I can view the non-https pages just fine all versions of msie and Netscape well view everything including the https pages just fine (Ahh, long live Netscape.) Thanks ahead of time for you thoughts on this problem of mine. Jeff Gelina P.S. Sorry for pasting the whole darn thing here, but wanted to make sure you had it all to look at. ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] Royal National Institute for the Blind Registered charity number 226227. ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] Royal National Institute for the Blind Registered charity number 226227. ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
