NimbostratusIs !SSLv3 the same as No SSLv3 ?
Hi everybody
I've some question about SSL profile.
Is !SSLv3 specify in cipher suite the same as "No SSLv3" option in SSL option?
Thank you very much

Yes, It is equivalent.

use :
and also disable weak ciphers.ALL:!SSLv2!SSLv3 
Rupert_Connell_No it is not!
!SSLv3 hard disables the SSLv3 ciphers. No SSLv3 disables the SSLv3 protocol.
If you set !SSLv3, but not No SSLv3, the client may negotiate SSLv3 as protocol, then not be able to use any ciphers, since you have disabled them!
