Hi Brad,
Thanks man that did the job now I only have 128 bit and 256 bits in the list I also want to include the 192 bit ciphers in the list so is it possible or they all use may be 3DES my current cipher string is as under
!EXPORT:!SSLv3:!SSLv2:!DTLSv1:!MD5:!RC4:!TLSv1:!3DES:ECDHE+AES-GCM:ECDHE+AES:ECDHE+3DES:ECDHE+RSA:RSA+AES-GCM:RSA+AES:RSA+3DES

Well the 192bit ciphers are 3DES and in actuality they are 168 since only the first 56bits are used in each key. Then the first key is reused as the third key making it only effectively a 112bit cipher. This is why 3DES is losing favorability as being secure. I know it's a very simplified explanation but 192bit 3DES is now only considered to be effectively 112bits.
