So far, I have isolated this problem to MSIE clients running on
Macintosh.  Has anyone seen this issue and found a solution?

Running YDL 2.1

[Mon Apr 22 21:51:41 2002] [notice] Apache/1.3.14 (Unix)  (Linux)
mod_ssl/2.7.1 OpenSSL/0.9.6 PHP/4.1.2 mod_perl/1.24 configured --
resuming normal operations
[Mon Apr 22 21:51:48 2002] [error] mod_ssl: SSL handshake interrupted by
system [Hint: Stop button pressed in browser?!] (System error follows)
[Mon Apr 22 21:51:48 2002] [error] System: Connection reset by peer
(errno: 104)

(Nobody hit the stop button or reset the connection as this error was
produced by myself)

The browser on MAC returns "Security Failure.  Data decryption error."

I have tried numerous configurations.  Here is only the latest:

<VirtualHost 216.211.130.148:443>
  DocumentRoot /home/www/careerperfect
  ServerName secure.careerperfect.com
  SSLEngine on
  ServerAdmin webmaster@careerperfect.com
  SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/public.crt
  SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/secureprivate.key
  SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \
             nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
             downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
SSLCipherSuite
!EXP1024-RC4-SHA:!EXP1024-DES-CBC-SHA:ALL:!ADH:!EXP56:!RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+ME
DIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL
</VirtualHost>

(the last directive is on one line)




Thanks,
