How to disable SSLv2 on Snow Leopard Server?

Because of the possibility of DROWN-Attack I want to disable SSLv2 on my Snow Leopard (10.6.8) Server.

Is anybody here who can tell me how to disable SSLv2?

Installing a newer version of OpenSSL would be nice too but I don't know how?


Thank you for your assistance,

Peter.

Hi again!

Here is the solution. :-)

What you have to do is edit your main.cf to disabel SSLv2 (and SSLv3) and for Apache2 the httpd.conf.

1. Go to /etc/postfix and open the main.cf

2. Add the following lines

smtpd_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3

smtp_tls_mandatory_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3

smtp_tls_protocols = !SSLv2, !SSLv3

smtpd_tls_protocols = !SSLv2 !SSLv3

3. Save the main.cf

4. Got to /etc/apache and open httpd.conf

5. search for SSL stuff

Add the following line:

SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 -SSLv3


6. Restart your server to make changes active


Greetings, Peter
