Doc Text:	Pegasus CIM server now disables SSLv3 and uses TLS1.0 or later by default The Pegasus CIM server previously had no option to disable the SSLv3 protocol, which is now considered insecure. This update contains a backported upstream fix which changes the default behavior so that SSLv3 is disabled, TLS1.0 or later is used, and SSLv3 can be reenabled using the `sslBackwardCompatibility` option if necessary.

Concerns we have raised in RHEL7 regarding scope of this change (and sslBackwardCompatibility option) apply here as well:

Patch from aforementioned bug changes the scope to "by default, accept tls1.0+ but not older".  Would it be possible to include it?

If so, should we do it in this bug or clone the other one to RHEL6.8 (ack would be granted in that case, although I do like the first option more)?

Vito, could you please set 'Fixed In Version:' field?

For now I'm assuming it's tog-pegasus-2.12.0-4.el6 (the one currently attached to erratum) but better to be sure.

Sorry, done.

Re-used the same test as in RHEL7; the new setting works fine.

No regressions found.
