I have a basic question (or group of questions) that may seem a little
silly.  I have managed to build Apache with mod_ssl.  Now what?  I mean, I
have attempted to follow some example httpd.conf files and create key and
crt files with openssl, but what do I do to create a secured site so that I
can access it via https://

I have been creating a test environment locally as localhost and I have some
cgi scripts (actually a C++ executable) located in cgi-bin, but I want to
make them accessible only via https.  Does anyone have any suggestions on
resources or tutorials where I can learn about this?  I'm quite new to
security and don't quite grasp how a browser actually gets through via https
to the server and how the server prevents unauthorized access.  What do I
need to do with the browser, for example?  Anything?  Is it all just in the
server config?  Help!  :)

Lost and confused,

t. clancy
