Re: SSLProtocol vs SSLCipherSuite

I may not have been clear on my question so I am reposting, hopefully in a more clear manner,... I apologize if this is bad practice.

I would like clarification as to whether the SSLProtocol directive is absolutely necessary when trying to achieve the highest level of security when configuring Apache.

Can the SSLCipherSuite directive overwrite what is designated in the SSLProtocol directive?

For example:

SSLProtocol SSLv2

SSLCipherSuite TLSv1:SSLv3:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:!LOW:!NULL


Would the SSLCipherSuite directive above prevent SSLv2 from being used?

Thanks in advance.

I guess I may be confused as to the relationship between these to directives in the Apache 2 httpd.conf file.

Specifically, will SSLCipherSuite directive take precedence over the SSLProtocol directive?

For Example;

If I have omitted the SSLProtocol directive entirely. But I have something like this in my SSLCipherSuite directive,

SSLCipherSuite TLSv1:SSLv3:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:!LOW:!NULL

Does this not allow any SSLv2 traffic to my server?

Any info or help is greatly appreciated.
