See the following topics for detailed configuration options:

...

1. Download TestSSLServer.jar from here.

2. Execute the following command to test the transport:

   Code Block
   java -jar TestSSLServer.jar localhost 9443

3. The output of the command before and after disabling SSL version 3 is shown below.
   Before SSL  is disabled:

   Code Block

Firefox 39.0 onwards does not allow to access Web sites that support DHE with keys less than 1023 bits (not just DHE_EXPORT). 768/1024 bits are considered to be too small and vulnerable to attacks if the hacker has enough computing resources.
