Topic: Display error message if ssl/tls handsake fails

[jack01]

Hi,
I am using Apache httpd 2.4.23 64-bit download from Apache Lounge web page on Windows 2008 R2.

I have one of the web server (accessed only from local network, and not from internet) that for sensitive business data and security reasons it is required to only have TLS v1.2 protocol enabled and only strong cipher suites.

Modern web browsers are not affected. But old web browsers get user unfriendly ssl/tls handshake problem in browser. Non-technical people interprets this error as web page/server does not work and so calling support team to diagnose the problem.

Is there a way in Apache httpd to display more friendly error in web browser if ssl/tls handshake fails? I know this is going to be difficult, because http error can only be send by web server after ssl/tls protocol is successfully established.

What are you suggestions to solve the problem in a way that old web browsers would get more friendly info like "You are using old web browser. In order to access this web page you need to download and install modern web browser. Please call your local IT administrator."

Any suggestion how to perform this in as simple solution as possible?
Thanks

You can't change that. it is in the browser. Apache has no influence in it.
