Hi,
   RC4-MD5 it is not type of certificate, it is type of data transfer encryption
(symmetric key RC4 algorithm for encryption with MD5 algorithm for message
authentication code (MAC) calculation).

Certificate is use only for one of the stage of handshake (key exchange). Always
certificate of server (not of client) will be used. What type of public key (40
bits or 128 bits) decides only server. With export client server will use 40
bits.

Yuriy Stul
