Nope, I'm not using that sslcert feature --- so maybe I should stay quiet on this one :)

I think xymonnet does the checking directly. Henrik does have a
"contest" program in the xymonnet src directory, I assume for
troubleshooting, but it doesn't return the ssl stuff, just the returned
header.
The other system is RHEL 4.6 which is running the websphere - I ran the
openssl and got 45 ciphers, so what xymonnet returns is correct for what
is configured in IHS. IBM don't use mod_ssl, they wrote their own thing.
In the IHS config, you can specify which ciphers to use, similar to the
CipherSuite statement in apache.
Do you use this sslcert feature, are you having this problem?

Could this be a component in xymon may be checking with openssl (not

https://)? If openssl on the IBM box is compiled with those ciphers
disabled
that might explain it. What do you get with openssl cipher -v on the
IBM
variant?

Hi TIm,
Same thing with your config. I tried a few settings and it always
displays the same complete list. It kinda looks like apache is just
returning all the cipher suites on the system - similar output to
"openssl cipher -v", rather than the configured/available ones.
Odd.
cheers, Phil

Phil,
That looks like an apache/openssl config concern. What happens
when
you
force a more generic SSLCipherSuite?

Hi all,
I've been playing with the ssl networking tests and have an issue
with
a host. I've setup SSL3/TLS1 on this particular server and
explicitly
specified 256 and 168 bit ciphers. On the sslcert page for that
host
it
lists the following ciphers even though anything less than 168 bits
is
disabled. I confirmed separately using a browser that you can't
connect
with the smaller cipher sizes and can with larger ones. We have
another
site using IBM's version of apache (IHS) which does appear with the
correct available ciphers in the sslcert page. Any idea why are the
smaller ciphers showing as being enabled?
