Please consult the release notes before upgrading to 2.4.18:

The big one is this: "Disable use of SSLv2/SSLv3"

When I look at our log files, I see that there are still several hundred
SSLv3 connections per day. I'm worried that not all clients used by our
users  support TLSv1. One such client appears to be Outlook 2003. Has
anybody else  (especially in education) already turned off SSLv3? What
were your  experiences?

I had similar concerns when I was making SSLv3 and cipher changes to my
LDAP service.  I wanted to proactively identify any clients that would be
affected so we could fix them in advance.

I used tshark to sniff the ciphers for all my incoming connections, but
you can also get the TLS version used from the output.

I wrote it up in a blog post here:

Thanks for your reply! Our Cyrus server is still running RHEL 5, and its tshark binary doesn't yet support the "-2" flag. I see that it's supposed to "Perform a two-pass analysis", but I'm unclear on why that is useful or even necessary? I removed the flag for my tests, and at first glance it still seems to work. FWIW, I had to modify the pattern matching in the Perl script, because in our instance there are two tabs before the first IP address.

Cheers
Sebastian
