Bug Description

A default deployed (on 14.04) Openstack dashboard is vulnerable to both SSLv3 attacks and RC4. This affects all dashboards that run on 14.04.

IE support is generally not considered (especially below IE8), which means it's likely safe for us to disable SSLv3.

RC4 looks ok too, as most people will not be going through network proxies to reach the dashboard:

In both cases major websites will not be working for them if they use a web browser - and likely the dashboard won't be working correctly either.

Discussion about this taking place on ML here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/juju/2016-March/006936.html
