<VirtualHost *:443>
    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/<domain>.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/<domain>.key
    # SSL Protocol Adjustments:
    BrowserMatch "MSIE [2-6]" \
                  nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
                  downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
