I upgraded my tomcat from 7.0.53 ( that was having SSL protocols enable) to 7.0.67 (that has by default SSL protocols disable).
To re enable support for SSLv3 and SSLv2, i modified the server.xml inside $TOMCAT_HOME/conf to replace sslProtocol="TLS" with sslEnabledProtocols="SSLv2,SSLv3,TLSv1" I can test the SSLv3 requests successfully now , but SSLv2 requests still fails. They were processing through success before the upgrade of Tomcat. I am using the JDK1.6 and Redhat platform and openssl version 0.9.8h. Please let me know if i can enable SSLv2 on the newer Tomcat. -Thanks Utkarsh
