ssl with apache

[Aaron Howell]

Hi there,
The easiest way to do this is through the rewrite module.
Make sure you have a line that looks like
LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/mod_rewrite.so
Then create a virtual host
<VirtualHost x.x.x.x:80> #where x.x.x.x is your ip and don't forget to turn on namevirtualhost x.x.x.x
# put any important settings like documentroot or serveradmin in here.
#Then do something like
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/sqwebmail(.*)$ https://your.server.name/cgi-bin/sqwebmail$1
</virtualhost>
You put that inside a virtualhost statement so it doesn't keep trying to redirect from https to https.
Either tat or add
RewriteEngine off
to the virtualhost definition for your https server.
There are other ways of doing this but thats about the most efficient.
As for generating your key files,  there is excellent information on that at http://www.thawte.com under the ssl certificate section
in a "how to secure apache using thawte ssl certificates" document (at least there was last time I looked.
Hope that helps
Regards
Aaron
