I have a new install of ubuntu server version 14.04.1 I have apache2 with SSL enabled. I want to disable SSLv3
(I am aware this is a popular question but I have trawlled all other answers on multiple sites and I believe I have followed all the steps they suggest.)
When I use the command:
nmap --script ssl-enum-ciphers -p 443 MYDOMAIN.com
I can see two sets of ciphers. One SSLv3 and one TLSV1.0
I have the SSL module enabled and it's configuation file is /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ssl.conf
I have altered it by changing the line
SSLProtocol all
to
SSLProtocol All -SSLv2 -SSLv3
From all the documentation and web tutorials this should disable SSLv3.
I restart apache with the command
sudo service apache2 restart
but there is no change. SSLv3 is still listed.
I have tried stopping the server and re-running the command to ensure I am not accidently checking the wrong server. As expected the result changes.
Can anyone suggest what mistake I am making.
