Synopsis

                     SSLBanCipher cipher-list
Config, virtual, .htaccess, directory
Not available in Apache v2

This directive specifies a space-separated list of cipher suites, as per SSLRequire-Cipher, except it bans them. The logic is as follows: if banned, reject; if required, accept; if no required ciphers are listed, accept. For example:

SSLBanCipher NULL-MD5 NULL-SHA

It is sensible to ban these suites because they are test suites that actually do no encryption.
