Hi

I had a two repo for cento6 where I can download httpd 2.2.29,
(baseurl=http://CentOS.alt.ru/repository/CentOS/6/$basearch/) and baseurl=http://mirror.fserver.ru/CentOS-repo/6/$basearch

For now this repo is not active, any other repo have 2.2.29 rpm which I
can add to my repo….

  • Hi Alex,

    In this situation 2.2.29 actually does offer an advantage over CentOS
    version 2.2.15.

    The version provided by CentOS does not support Forward Secrecy for SSL
    or TLS 1.2.

    Version 2.2.24+ of upstream Apache includes patches which enable both Forward Secrecy and TLS 1.2.

    Now that C6’s OpenSSL can also support both TLS 1.2, and Forward Secrecy, upgrading Apache slightly to be able to use both of those is a very viable option.

    Although, in my case I cheat, I compile my own 2.2.29 RPM and then apply any missing patches and new security patches from RHEL sources myself to get the best of both worlds.

  • I have a CentOS 6 machine running CentOS provided apache, openssl, and mod_ssl which implements TLS 1.2 and Forward Secrecy and is rated A+ by the SSL Server test at ssllabs.com. In regards to Forward Secrecy it is color coded green and says “Yes (with most browsers) ROBUST (more info)”
