Special note for customers with SSLFIPSEnable:

If a virtual host contains SSLFIPSEnable and some SSLCipherSpec other than "SSLCipherSpec FF", check the current level of GSKit installed using gsk7ver or, for Linux®/x86, gsk7ver_gcc295.


If the GSKit level is 7.0.3.9 or earlier, also install PK13784.
