Internet Explorer and 3DES

Internet Explorer and 3DES

am 02.06.2002 20:19:56 von mfanto

I am having a problem with mod_ssl and Internet Explorer 6.0. I have set
mod_ssl to only allow 3DES CipherSuites (SSLCipherSuite 3DES:!MD5). All
browsers handle this fine except Internet Explorer, which only works if RC4
is enabled. When the user views the page, they see a "Cannot find server"
message. I have checked the output of ssldump, and see that the
client/server negotiate a cipher suite (SSL_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA).
After ChangeCipherSpec the client closes the connection then reestablishes
it. When it is reestablished, it gets to application_data, but the user
never see's this. Can anyone point me in the right direction on solving this?
