Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) Apache 2.2.13 Poodle SSLv3 Fix?

Question

I applied the POODLE fix for apache via "SSLProtocol All -SSLv2 -SSLv3" in the ssl.conf file for our apache server but am having issues with the CAC Client authentication via "SSLVerifyClient require". I have confirmed if I set "SSLVerifyClient none" our web application can be accessed via https and uses the correct protocol of TLSv1 but once I set "SSLVerifyClient require" (which is needed because our web application is CAC enabled) I get a page cannot be displayed in IE (IE has SSLv2 and SSLv3 disabled). I think it is renegotiating to SSLv3 during the SSLVerifyClient stage.. Anyone know how to fix this on Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) Apache 2.2.13??

Here is a snippet of my ssl.conf file:

Answer 1

Did you try to remove the BrowserMatch for deprecated browsers?

#BrowserMatch ".*MSIE.*" \
#   nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
#   downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

and that from httpd.conf

#BrowserMatch "Mozilla/2" nokeepalive
#BrowserMatch "MSIE 4\.0b2;" nokeepalive downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
