no, I do use ssh/sshd and putty to access the machine remotly, but that is not what I am asking for.
imp is the webmail program I use. I can access my mail on that machine via http:\\mymachine.com and the logging in, but I want to use https:\\mymachine.com and that is where my query originates.
You have to set Apache up to use SSL. Apache must be built with SSL
enabled, set up a certificate and put the appropriate directives in the
apache config file. Details can be found on the Apache site:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/ssl/ssl_faq.html
BTW, we prefer bottom posting here.

I have fedora core 1 installed and have apache and horde and imp all running and it seems to work great. Now I want to change the login to be able to use ssl. I have mode_ssl and openssl installed from fedora but have no idea how to enable ssl. Can someone point me in the right direction?
What do you mean by "want the login to use ssl"? The normal login
process doesn't use security. I suspect you want to remote access it
via ssh, right? In that case, simply run redhat-config-services
and enable sshd. You need an ssh client to access it. For Windows,
SecureCRT (commercial) or PuTTY (open source) are available.

ok bottom it is -
I now have apache running with the new certs and it is watching both secure and normal ports.
on the normal port (80) I see the imp login page and on the 443 page, I see the Fedora Core test page.
So there is no valid content in the DocumentRoot of the SSL host.
I'd like to not see imp on port 80, and instead I will put a page that I have yet to create. I want imp to be on https (443).
You force HTTPS in the horde/imp configuration. Did you read that
documentation and config files? You can use mod_rewrite to do an
automatic redirect to the HTTPS site.
How can I do this?
Or maybe a more basic question: If I am serving both secure and nonsecure pages, will there be two distinct sets of files (trees) under /var/www? If so, what are the two tree roots?
You can configure that how you like it. From what you are telling you
should really first read the apache documentation on how setting up
apache, especially using SSL and setting up vhosts.
Thanks

Maybe I missed it but I am having no luck in finding ssl documentation for apache. Can you point me to a site?
(at least the version that comes with Fedora)
