The problem is easy to fix. You have simply to install the mod_ssl for
Apache, enable ssl on the RAServer (a requirement beacuse the RAServer
should be accessed by RA Operators who have a valid certificate) so your
address for accessing the RAServer will start with https:// ... don't
forget to require client authentication and to restrict access to the
RAServer only to certain DN (Subjects) like the ones having OU=RA Operator
or whatever you like best.

So required steps are:

        1. Install mod_ssl (it requires you recompile apache);
        2. Enable SSL on the RAServer (Apache);
        3. Use a valid operator's certificate when accessing the
           RAServer;

That's it.
