>Description:
Testing the default configuration of the SSL part(included mod_ssl)of Apache2 of FreeBSD 8.2(i386) was noted that the default /usr/local/etc/apache/extra/httpd-ssl.conf configuration regarding SSL cipher suite strength and SSL protocol support is pretty bad: SSL 2.0 is enabled, weak cipher suites(DES based) and export cipher suites(including RC2 based ones) are enabled. -> these should be disabled by default.
