James, thanks for the reply.

 

At this point I am using compiled Windows binaries, and am running a compiled 
Windows application that uses the SSL DLLs.  The Windows application does let 
me specify a cipher list, but I do not have source to that application to 
re-build.

 

I don’t think that in this situation I am able to call SSL_CTX_set_options.

 

I guess I might be stuck if I can’t use the cipher list to disable SSL3 while 
leaving TLS1 enabled.  Not the end of the world, but not ideal.

 

Sincerely,

 

David Rueter

Hi, 

Can you try this option

SSL_CTX_set_options(m_SslCtx, SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2|SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3);

instead of disabling using the cipher list

 

 

 

regards,

James Arivazhagan

However disabling SSL3 with !SSLv3 disables TLSv1 also.  Furthermore, disabling 
SSL3 with -SSLv3 then adding in individual ciphers such as +DES-CBC3-SHA seems 
to re-enable SSLv3.

 

In looking at https://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html it looks like 
SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA and TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA are both 
referred to as DES-CBC3-SHA.

 

Is this intentional? Are not SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA and 
TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA different ciphers?

 

Is there no way to disable SSL3 while leaving TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA 
enabled?
