Upgrade Apache Version 2.2.22 For Perfect HTTPS / SSL Score with Qualsys

Qualsys run an SSL / TLF Checker to enable you to audit your web server (Apache in this case) to check the SSL certificates and security are up to date and secure. Getting a perfect A or A plus is both difficult and easy. Here is how we did it.

1. Audit your web server using the tool here: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/index.html

2. Create an SSL Configuration here: https://mozilla.github.io/server-side-tls/ssl-config-generator

3. Open a command line and edit /etc/apache2/mods-available/ssl.conf to have its line match the generated configuration

4. Restart apache (/etc/init.d/apache2 restart)

That should do it.
