OSX 10.11 El Capitan does not only support ECDHE Ciphers

After updating to OSX 10.11 I did a quick test.
It wasn't sure if Apple will only support ECDHE and implementing their new standard ATS.

The first tests shows that the current ciphers are there but Apple does even support quite simple ciphers like RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA / MD5 as a fall back.

But you never know if this is going away in one of the next updates.

Here is a trace from against a Domino 9.0.1 FP4 IF2 server.
You can see all supported common ciphers and I highlighted the most important parts of the handshake.

Happy updating!
