This web site me to disable the no encryption on TLS.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Go to http://www.aetnanavigator.com




Actual Results:  
Redirected to http://member.aetna.com/member_registration/encrypt_err_real.html

Expected Results:  
Presented a login page.
Works for me with Firefox 1.0 release and Mozilla 1.8b on WinNT4. 
With Mozilla 1.8b I can (or is default?) disable the "no encryption" for TLS.
See Preferences - Privacy/Security - SSL - Edit Ciphers - Extra SSL3/TLS.
Version: unspecified → 1.0 Branch
This is a Firefox issue.  Mozilla has the dialog.
Temporary workaround:

1.  type "about:config" into the address bar
2.  find and set the following preferences to "true"
   a.  security.ssl3.rsa_null_md5
   b.  security.ssl3.rsa_null_sha
this doesn't make sense.

dave.vanderson@cox.net: based on a reading of that page, i'm fairly sure they
wanted him to set those to false, not true.
I should have qualified it - the workaround worked for me.  Before that I got
nondeterministic behavior out of the site.  Every time I went I got through a
different number of pages before getting the redirect to the encryption page.

I don't really know anything about the actual config options.  I thought from
the names that setting them to true would disable those encryption options.  If
that is not what they do that I am baffled.

Has this worked for anyone else?
