I'm assuming that you are only interested in securing access, not in using
client certificates. Would that be correct?

In that case this will suffice:

 <VirtualHost 123.456.789.123:8080>
     SSLEngine on
     SSLProtocol all
     SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM
     SSLCertificateFile /home/debug/www/_conf/certs/ladyraquel.crt
     SSLCertificateKeyFile /home/debug/www/_conf/certs/ladyraquel.key
     <Directory /home/debug/www/ladyraquel/secure>
         SSLRequireSSL
     </Directory>
 </VirtualHost>

See the SSLRequireSSL directive for more details.

A world of difference - in the UK, 37 million people put their faith on the
last census as "Christian". In Saudi Arabia, this answer would carry a death
sentence for any Saudi.
