How to disable weak SSL ciphers in RHN Satellite Proxy httpd configuration
How can I create an SSL server which accepts strong encryption only?
Security team has scans that report our Satellite Proxy server is using weak SSL ciphers in the SSLCipherSuite directive in ssl.conf.
We need to disable weak ciphers but need to know if this will cause issues with the functionality of Proxy.
We need to support only strong encryption with SSLv3 and TLSv1 256 AES.
