Hello All at modssl-users,

What a great product!

I have downloaded everything (latest 0.9.5, 2.6.2, 1.3.12).  I did a
config/make, and everything went fine (even using DSO).  I made a key and
cert for the default server and a second set for a specific URL.
./httpsdctl startssl works fine.  I have a self signed key/cert.  It
works. 

However, when I get in with Netscape 4.7, the encryption level is lower
than I expect or want.  My browser uses 128 bit encryption at other sites
with no problem (so the problem doesn't seem to be the browser).  OpenSSL
has a whole slug of 128 bit ciphers to choose from (I did a 'openssl
cipher -v').  

The message I get from my secure connection is this:

Security: This is a secure document that uses a medium-grade encryption
key suited for U.S. export (RC4-56, 128 bit with 56 secret).

I have tried upping the level with these settings in httpsd.conf:

SSLProtocol -all +SSLv3
SSLCipherSuite SSLv3:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+EXP

and

SSLRequire %{SSL_CIPHER_USEKEYSIZE} >= 128

These settings simply prevent me from getting in.  It seems like the
key/cert has some characteristic that is less than what I want.

What do I do to up-it to 128?  Is it somewhere in the config process?
Is it a different setting in httpsd.conf?  Is it a change to my browser?

Thanks in advance.
