I did some testing tonight and the cipher string provided in sol15882 results in an F at SSL Labs' testing site, due to ciphers using ADH key exchange.
I'm not an expert, so I am not certain how risky having this enabled is. Disabling anonymous Diffie-Hellman (ADH) key exchange bumps the score from a F to a B, using "!ADH:!SSLv3:AES-GCM:RC4-SHA".
Using RC4 caps the score at B. Disabling RC4 results in an A rating, but it's likely that a majority of users won't be able to access your site.
