Disabling SSLv2 in Plesk

To disable SSLv2 server-wide on a Plesk server, add this in your /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:

SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:+HIGH:+MEDIUM
SSLProtocol all -SSLv2

Put the directive very high in the file, outside the VirtualHost directive, preferably right below the Listen directive. This will work for all SSL VirtualHosts.

How can I ensure that Apache does not allow SSL 2.0 protocol that has known weaknesses?

    Thanks you, Thank you, Thank you.
    Finally I was able to do it !

  • It's better to use:
    SSLProtocol -ALL +SSLv3 +TLSv1
    SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:!SSLv2:!LOW:!EXP:!aNULL:@STRENGTH

    Question: Can the same directives be used in /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/httpsd.conf to disable SSL v2 and TLS v1 in Plesk's internal Apache (port 8443)?

    Requires a "service psa restart" after changing that config file.

    It seems to work, but I'm not sure if that's a file that Plesk will eventually overwrite.
