Gosh,
    first time I've checked this list in a while and someone asks me a question!
So, basically, you run swiki on say, port 8080.
Your Apache is running on standard port 80.
Your Apache config file makes a virtual server called
say, myswiki.mydomain.com. This virtual server uses
https: on port 443 typically. You  should be able to find
a free add on to Apache to allow SSL without  paying
for a certificate, the only drawback is that IE (at least)
will ask the user if a non-authenticated certificate is ok to use.
Inside that you use the ProxyPass and ProxyPassReverse
directives to map the root of the new virtual server to the
root of the swiki thus:

ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080

You will need to create DNS entries for myswiki.mydomain.com
It's a while since I have done this, so this recipe may  not be
entirely accurate, so don't take it as gospel, or even Torah!

We just started running our swiki's through
a secure Apache working as as reverse proxy.
Works good. also allows better user authentication.

Can anybody tell me if its possible to run ComSwiki with a secure link using
SSL? If so, can you suggest how to do this with Windows (NT or 2000)?

Thanks,
Glenn
