Concerns we have raised in RHEL7 regarding scope of this change (and sslBackwardCompatibility option) apply here as well: (In reply to Alois Mahdal from bug 1264951 comment #0) [...] > > sslBackwardCompatibility > > > > Description:This setting specifies whether the ssl supports > > SSLv3 and versions of TLS lesser than 1.2 .Ideally for security > > Compilance purposes it is by default set to false. > > Default Value: false > > Dynamic: No > > Per consultation with security QA (Hubert Kario): > > While SSLv3 is indeed insecure and dangerous, the same cannot be said > about TLS1.1 or even TLS1.1, so the option effect is a bit excessive. > > Since it's off by default, in fact it introduces regression: any clients > that do not use TLS1.2 but will try TLS1.0 or TLS1.1 will be refused. 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.

Re-used the same test as in RHEL7; the new setting works fine. No regressions found.
