RCM 6.7 shows vulnerabilities with Apache 1.3.33
38139 - SSL Server Has SSLv2 Enabled Vulnerability
38140 - SSL Server Supports Weak Encryption Vulnerability
Resolution
Analysis:  The Default httpd.conf configuration files support SSLv2 with various encryption algorithms. The configuration can be changed as follows (from CC Installation Guide):

1. Open the file WebServer/conf/httpd.conf in a text editor

2. To restrict ciphersuite and Secure Transport Protocol in the httpd.conf file, alter all three occurrences of the SSLCipherSuite configuration option value as follows:

   2.1 Locate the line:
          SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL

        Note: There are three occurrences of the above text: one for each of the Enrollment, Administration, and Renewal Servers.

   2.2 Modify it to:
          SSLCipherSuite DES-CBC3-SHA

   2.3 On a new line under each altered SSLCipherSuite, add the SSLProtocol configuration option and value:
          SSLProtocol +TLSv1

3. Save the httpd.conf file
