    Description:


    This feature update provides a new Apache2 module "mod_nss"
    which implements an https provider as a replacement of
    mod_ssl. (FATE#316419)

    mod_nss uses the Mozilla NSS libraries to provide SSL
    support and so is able to supply TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 for
    your Apache web server.

    The package includes a README-SUSE.txt with detailed setup
    instructions.

    Also some glue documentation can be found in
    /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_nss.conf and covers:

    * Simultaneous usage of mod_ssl and mod_nss
    * SNI concurrency
    * SUSE framework for Apache configuration, Listen
    directive
    * Module initialization.

    Indications:

    Install this module to enable support for TLS 1.1 and 1.2.
