encrypt is unix crypt right ? in this case we can spare the old
passwords (otherwise you need to generate new ones and email them to
users), I would do this in two phases:

1) create a CSV (or similar) with user data and a PHP script to import
the data to Midgard trough Midgard API (I would not go directly to
MySQL, it's too easy to miss something and mucked up relations make a
broken installation)
2) change the passwords set at import time directly in mysql to the old
crypted ones.

SSL itself is "simple", you create a host with port 443 (or 0 if you
wish to use the same host for http and https), otherwise it's the same
normal apache SSL setup.

Viewergroups etc should be explained by someone who's better at that.
but basically you create some groups and then in component configuration
set which groups can access the data.
