How to disable SSLv3 in Apache on Windows installed by Xampp


I'm attempting to disable SSLv3 in Apache which I've installed on Windows via xampp. But I'm having trouble figuring out how. I was told that I needed to add

SSLProtocol All -SSLv2 -SSLv3

To my ssl config file but I'm not sure where that is.

I see a

C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-ssl.conf

but from the research I've done heard that I'm looking for a ssl.conf file which doesn't seem to exist.

Any ideas?

Edit also, from the tutorials I was reading, I'm still not sure where in the config file I'd place the SSLProtocol All -SSLv2 -SSLv3 if I was able to find the config file.


Solution

  • Had to figure this out myself and too like 30 minutes of Googling to figure it out. Just thought I'd answer it and leave this here for anyone else who comes by and looks at it.

    xampp > apache > conf > extra > httpd-ssl.conf

    Just add

    SSLProtocol All -SSLv2 -SSLv3
    

    right below

    Listen 443
    

    and then save and restart. Afterwards, goto http://poodlebleed.com/ and enter your domain and port to make sure that you are now good.

    Hope this helps!
