SSLCARevocationPath

Specifies the directory where

PEM

-encoded Certificate

Revocation Lists (CRLs) are stored. These CRLs come from the

CA

s (Certificate

Authorities) that you accept certificates from. If a client attempts to authenticate
itself with a certificate that is on one of these CRLs, then the certificate is revoked
and the client cannot authenticate itself with your server.

SSLCipherSuite

Specifies the SSL

cipher suite

that the client can use during the

SSL handshake. This directive uses a colon-separated cipher specification string to
identify the cipher suite.

Table 8–3

shows the tags you can use in the string to

describe the cipher suite you want.

Tags are joined together with prefixes to form cipher specification string.
