Netscape Certificate Management System Installation and Setup Guide • October 2001
Note that Netscape Communicator too has received retail status from the United
States Department of Commerce Bureau of Export Administration; under new
regulations, retail status makes it possible to export Communicator with the same
encryption and cryptographic features available in the US and Canada.
Prior to the retail status, international users of Netscape Communicator (with
encryption capability restricted to 40-bit encryption) could use Netscape’s
International Step-Up program to step up to stronger encryption, 56-bit, 128-bit, or
168-bit. Step-up refers to the ability of export browsers to establish strong SSL
sessions with domestic SSL servers, if they have the appropriate step-up
certificates.
Because many of the features, such as issuance of dual certificates for dual key
pairs and real-time verification of certificates using the OCSP protocol, supported
in Certificate Management System require Communicator versions 4.7x or
Netscape 6, it’s recommended that you upgrade your browser. For information on
downloading the browser, check this site:

Configuring the Server to Use Specific Ciphers
You can set a number of systemwide preferences for SSL by specifying the ciphers
that Certificate Management System should recognize and use during SSL
communication; the server applies the cipher settings you choose to all the SSL
(HTTPS) ports it uses.
To change the cipher settings for a CMS instance:
1.
Log in to the CMS window (see “Logging In to the CMS Window” on
page 343).
