Dear modssl Users,

I'm tring to get MSIE and netscape to work with Verisign's Secure
Server ID at 128 bit encription. I don't understand why it does not work,
however i'm following the instructions in the howto at www.modssl.org. 

The browsers negotiate only at EXP-RC4-MD5 or if i want them to use only
HIGH encription, apache-modssl denies all connection to the specified
directory. Even if i;m tring to connect with trhe fortified netscape..

My config is:

Apache 1.3.9
mod_ssl-2.4.6-1.3.9 

I have tried:

SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL

and in the Directory directive i have stated:

SSLRequire %{SSL_CIPHER_USEKEYSIZE} >= 128

in this case no browsers could communicate with the server.

I think there are may be two reasons why:

1., The expression is bad (i don't think so)
2., The browser does not understands Verisign's signature well. (??)

In either case I don't know what to do. Here is a snippet from the
logfile, when sslenginelog was set to trace state.

Any help would be highly appreciated.
