Re: [Pound Mailing List] Disable SSLv3

Hi,

thank you for answering, but that doesn't really help.
We use Pound-2.7b on a Debian wheezy with openssl 1.0.1e.
openssl ciphers -v "ALL:-SSLv3" returns only TLSv1.2 ciphers.
(And I tried so many combinations now, that I got sick)

The customer wants TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 active and only SSLv3
and TLSv1.0 disabled. If this is not possible, only SSLv3 
disabled. 

For SSLv2 there was the DisableSSLv2 option. I hoped there 
could be something similar for SSLv3. If not, perhaps we need a
different solution.

Kind Regards

Ute
