[Xymon] sslcert question

Wed Apr 13 17:55:39 CEST 2011

Could this be a component in xymon may be checking with openssl (not via wget https://)?  If openssl on the IBM box is compiled with those ciphers disabled that might explain it.  What do you get with openssl cipher -v on the IBM variant?

Hi TIm,

Same thing with your config. I tried a few settings and it always
displays the same complete list. It kinda looks like apache is just
returning all the cipher suites on the system - similar output to
"openssl cipher -v", rather than the configured/available ones.

Odd.

cheers, Phil
