Nobody wants to backport OpenSSL's implementation, so I don't see the viability of supporting `auth_level`. I've outlined my current suggestion several mails ago: ----- I think the best approach for now would be that: Add two new context options for the "ssl" wrapper: "insecure_allow_md5_signature" and "insecure_allow_sha1_signature". They will both default to false starting in PHP 7.2 while the backports to PHP 7.1 and 7.0 will default to true. Additionally there will be two INI options which are only added to PHP 7.1 and 7.0 to allow people to immediately upgrade to secure defaults without any risk of breaking other apps. ----- Regards, Niklas
