[UPDATE] As of version 8.1.2.1760/1761 PRTG always uses SSLv3 connections, unless the registry is modified. For detailed information, please see: Enhanced Security

I'm afraid that is not possible.

Hello,

the PRTG webserver should support SSL v2 and v3. Have you experienced any problems?

Best Regards.

My organization has a policy to only allow v3 and when they scanned this server, they found it was supporting v2 and v3 and have asked me to restrict it to v3.

Hello, under version 8.1.2.1810 we are experiencing the opposite problem. Our BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server) starts to connect to PRTG server using sslv2 however the connection is dropped by PRTG server instead of proposing sslv3.

This behaviour can be replicated using a standard wget, that needs to be forced to v3 in order to be able to complete ssl handshake with PRTG server.

Is there any solution to rollback to PRTG v7 behaviour regarding ssl handshake?

Thank you in advance
