    SHA384 TLS ciphers. (bsc#863035)
    - Remove deprecated NSSSessionCacheTimeout option from mod_nss.conf.in.

    read it. (bsc#998180)
    - Fix configuration paths in mod_nss.conf.in to point to correct
    locations. (bsc#996282)
    - Generate dummy certificates if there are none in mod_nss.d. (bsc#998183)
