For the most common use of SSL, to encrypt client connections to your web
server, CFMX won't be an issue, since the web server will deal with the
encryption and decryption of data sent to and received from the client. It
may make a difference if you're using CFHTTP to talk to a server via SSL; in
that case, the client (CFMX) needs to be able to verify the server
certificate's chain of trust, so to speak.
