Thanks Jim for response.I spotted an article suggesting SSLProtocol -all +TLSv1.3, but that didn't make any difference either.
Could it be the Qualys SSL Labs tool is not resetting? Any other recommendations for testing cipher strength?
With regards to WAF we are using mod_security and I cannot see any reference to SSL. The other tool we use is fail2ban but I am pretty sure that's not causing this either.
Still slightly baffled as how to progress! Thanks, Paul On 26/08/2021 15:35, Jim Albert wrote:

Thanks, Paul --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxWithout examining all the ciphers you list in SSLCipherSuite, just taking a step back at: SSLProtocol all -SSLv3 -TLSv1 -TLSv1.1 -TLSv1.2 which disables TLSv1.2 protocol. You state your SSL Labs report indicates: TLS 1.2 Yes So something doesn't seem right there. Did you restart your apache server after the SSL config changes? Do you perhaps have a WAF/reverse proxy sitting in front of your apache server that also needs to be configured?
