Re: SSLProtocol vs SSLCipherSuite

Not quite sure what you want to achieve even though the question is semi-clear.

If your real intention is to disallow SSLv2 (which you should in this
day and age) and only support SSLv3 and above, you could do this


SSLProtocol -ALL +SSLv3 +TLSv1
then follow by ciphers suite

e.g.   SSLCipherSuite ALL:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL:!LOW:!EXP:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM
