I have a legacy app that cannot (at present) be upgraded to 128 bit
encryption. In order to alleviate this problem I've gotten a reverse
proxy running. My present setup is as follows:

=20

Ubuntu 6.0.6 LTS

Apache 2.0.55

Libapache2-mod-proxy-html 2.4.3-2

Openssl 0.9.8a

=20

My problem is that I can use most any website to have apache reverse
proxy for me successfully. Is it possible to step down on the
encryption on the "backside" of the apache connection to the legacy
server?

=20

At present I have the following in my vhost file:

=20

SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL

=20

This, as I understand it, allows apache on the front end to allow lower
level of encryption, however, as stated earlier I need the request FROM
apache to the legacy server to be 40 bit.

Thanks
