This is what I've done to SSL the authentication and admin pages. I
think that's what you are trying to do, right?
1) setup your midcom host to answer requests on port 80 and 443.
2) setup apache vhosts for them
3) add to SSL vhost:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/midcom-admin.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/midcom-static.*
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(gif|jpg|css|ico)$
RewriteRule /(.*)$ http://your-site.com/$1
4) add to non SSL vhost:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/midcom-admin.*
RewriteRule /(.*)$ https://your-site.com/$1
What that means:
All your site navigation will be on port 80. If anyone request SSL, they
get redirected to the corresponding non SSL page. When you access
anything in /midcom-admin, you get redirected to the SSL version. The
bits about midcom-static and gif|jpg|etc regex is to make those
requests avoid redirection. They will 'travel' the SSL pipe and the
browser won't complain about parts of the page being secure and others
not.
You will obviously need mod_rewrite for this. Your mileage may vary, it
was quite painful to figure all this out on the beginning. Good luck!
