Re: [Pound Mailing List] SSL Parameter

Hi Daniel,

First off what version on Pound are you running?

There were a few patch files written a while back that should resolve most
of these issues and if I remember correctly are in the latest build:

Try adding the following options into your configuration file:
SSLHonorCipherOrder 1 SSLAllowClientRenegotiation 0 DisableSSLv2
DisableSSLv3 SSLNoFragment 0 SSLNoCompression 1

You may also need to change your Cipher List to some thing like:
ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-RC4-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:RC4:HIGH:!MD5:!aNULL:!EDH
