Rich is correct.  Here is what the audit log shows when SSL is enabled 
via Console:

nsSSL3Ciphers: 
-rsa_null_md5,+rsa_rc4_128_md5,+rsa_rc4_40_md5,+rsa_rc2_40_md5,+rsa_des_sha,+rsa_fips_des_sha,+rsa_3des_sha,+rsa_fips_3des_sha,+fortezza,+fortezza_rc4_128_sha,+fortezza_null,+tls_rsa_export1024_with_rc4_56_sha,+tls_rsa_export1024_with_des_cbc_sha

-NGK
