Re: SSL 2.0

When you use the Windows API to read Registry keys, there is a
"default" value that is provided when the key does not exist.

Thus, the KB article is telling you that when there is no key, the
default value is disable (0).

How does one know if PCT is disabled by default? You either trust the
KB article or do your own test.

Can you clarify your question.

In reading KB 187498 - I found a string that stated by default PCT is not
enabled on Windows 2003 Server.

However when I look at the key location as outlined in the KB

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\­PCT 1.0\Server

There is no values for the Enabled DWORD

Enabled with a DWORD value of 0x00000000 is disabled and 0xffffffff is
enabled according to KB 216482 -

So - since the value is not present by default, how is it that PCT is
disabled by default according to the aforementioned KBs?

Thanks

No, Microsoft hasn't suggested to enable SSL 3.0 only and disable all the
other ciphers. Only SSL 2.0 is not recommended for sure. The answer of your
question is fully based on your real scenario. If your web application has
quite critical concern on the security and consider only SSL 3.0 clients
should be allowed to access the site, then I believe it's fine to disable
the other ones.

Furthermore, TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0 are quite smiliar protocols. You may look
through the following article:

What is TLS/SSL?

Hope the info will be of some help. Have a nice day. :-)
