Enable SSL 3.0

  • Article

 

Applies To: Windows Azure Pack

SSL 3.0 is disabled by default in Windows Azure Pack: Web Sites Version 2 Update 6 because of the security vulnerability explained in Microsoft Security Advisory 3009008.

If you want to enable SSL 3.0, you must modify the DisableSSLv3 setting in the hosting configuration using the cmdlet below:

Set-WebSitesConfig –Type Global –DisableSslv3 [$true | $false]

A value of $false enables SSL 3.0.

Note

After enabling SSL 3.0 you must reboot all the roles that are affected by this change (front end, management, and publishing). You can do this safely by scheduling a repair for each role. Before doing so, ensure that you have enough machines online to handle the load of the rebooting machines.
