    Hi all,
    i'm confused!
    i read as part of the features list for Apache 2.2
    http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_ssl.html
    that
    SSL_PROTOCOL string The SSL protocol version (SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2)


    however when i run the app using apache 2.2 i get following:
    [Thu Nov 08 13:38:54 2012] [notice] Apache/2.2.10 (Unix) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.10 OpenSSL/0.9.7d mod_jk/1.2.26 configured -- resuming normal operations

    meaning i'm using apache 2.2 but with openssl 0.9 whcih according to what i read only supports upto TLSv1.0 and not above. to get TLS 1.1 apparently i need open ssl 1.0.1.
    https://community.qualys.com/thread/2013

    prooblem 1 - does apache 2.2 or 2.4 support TLS 1.1 or not? - documentation says it does via the mod ssl.

    if yes then how do i get TLS1.1 working? i would appreaciate some direction, app only way is to recompile with openssl 1.0 and that 2.2 does not support TLSv1.1,

    thanks

    ok. clarification and update - yes to get TLS 1.1 you do need to recompile using ssl 1.0.1
    standard apache version doesn't have TLS1.1 support

    Generally this depends on the openssl version your distribution's apache/nod_ssl.so was compiled with.

    Never the less you could compile openssl + apache yourself from the source to benefit from tls1.1+ etc.
    But then you also have to maintain this future on.
