I have enabled TLS 1.2 in my web server. But the http://ssllabs.com indicates that, I have enabled TLS 1.0 and 1.1 versions along with the TLS1.2 in my server. I modified my configurations files to disable 1.0 and 1.1 from my server. But it doesn't help.

/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ssl.conf

SSLCipherSuite HIGH:!SSLv3:!kRSA:!kECDH:!ADH:!DSS
SSLHonorCipherOrder on
SSLProtocol -all +TLSv1.2

I have multiple virtual hosts in my Apache server. In each file, I have the following configuration.

SSLEngine On
SSLProtocol -all +TLSv1.2
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/certfile.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/certfile.pem

Look in the /etc/letsencrypt/ folder for a configuration file. Let's Encrypt adds an entry in the sites-enabled/-le-ssl.conf file:

Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf

You will need to update the SSLProtocol & SSLCipherSuite directives in that file too.

Letsencrypt by default will write this in /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf . Check to make sure is included in your server configuration.

SSLEngine on    
Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem
</VirtualHost>

Open this file and edit as below.

SSLEngine on

#we comment out whatever Letsencrypt give here
#SSLProtocol             all -SSLv2 -SSLv3
#We disabled TLS 1.0/1.1 and SSL 2.0/3.0 here
SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 -SSLv3 -TLSv1 -TLSv1.1


#Comment out whatever Letsencrypt give by default for SSLCipherSuite
#SSLCipherSuite    ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-RSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305 .....


#Add this line instead of what Letsencrypt added as SSLCipherSuite
#This is to ensure the use of SSL encryption with a high degree of protection.
SSLCipherSuite HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5:!3DES


SSLHonorCipherOrder     on
SSLCompression          off

Go back to the SSL Server Test and Clear Cache. Then re-run the Test

With a current Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, we have Apache 2.4.29 and the problem is not reproducible.

The following configuration in /etc/apache2/sites-enables/default-ssl.conf switches off the unwanted protocol versions:

# Suppress TLSv1.0 and TLS v1.1
SSLProtocol +TLSV1.2 +TLSv1.3

I put it close to the end of the file before </VirtualHost>.

Enable and disable TLS options

sudo nano /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf

SSLProtocol             all +TLSv1.3 -TLSv1 -TLSv1.1 -SSLv2 -SSLv3

And run test again!

In your virtual-host config, Edit This line

SSLProtocol all -SSLv3 -SSLv2 -SSLv2 -TLSv1 -TLSv1.1

Note that in configuration file, another file maybe included, so you can edit that.
