Error description
Add support for dual-mode ECDSA/RSA SSL virtual hosts
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: IBM HTTP Server users who wish to use both * * ECDSA and RSA ciphers in the same * * virtualhost * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Enable both ECDSA and RSA ciphers in * * the same virtualhost. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Apply this fix if you wish to use both * * ECDSA and RSA ciphers in the same * * virtualhost. * **************************************************************** Many modern browsers support ECDSA ciphers. However, a special ECDSA certificate must be presented by the server to be able to negotiate an ECDSA cipher. In older versions of IHS, it is not possible to choose to use an ECDSA certificate when negotiating an ECDSA cipher.
Problem conclusion
New functionality has been added to SSLServerCert to allow IHS to send an ECDSA certificate when an ECDSA cipher is being negotiated. The server administrator may specify two certificate labels separated by a space. One label must correspond to the RSA certificate, the other, the ECDSA certificate. This fix is targeted for IBM HTTP Server fix packs: - 8.0.0.11 - 8.5.5.5
