Hello,
Have a question pertaining to using mod_ssl on one of my virtual
sites. I am running a web mail application in a directory on one of
my sites and I was wondering if it would be possible to secure just
a particular directory and everything under it. For example, my
site is <http://www.example.com>www.example.com but I am wanting to
secure <http://www.example.com\mail>www.example.com\mail. Can it be
possible to just use SSL on that particular directory rather than
securing an entire site. The reason I am asking is that I am going
to use a self signed certificate (not going to pay an outrageous
price of $800+) and I.E. complains about a certificate not being
signed by a root authority. I only need a handful of users going to
the "\mail" directory and I can have them import the certificate so
that I.E. doesn't complain each time one of them tries to access
that directory. The public accessing
<http://www.example.com>www.example.com doesn't need SSL and if I
had to turn it on for the whole site, I.E. might scare them away
when it says the certificate can't be verified...
Thanks guys!

Yes, you can secure any portion of a site, there is no need to do the
whole thing.
Also, there are affordable certificates available. I paid $35 for one
from GoDaddy for a web ticketing system I did for a non-profit event.
VeriSign and their ridiculously inflated pricing is not the only option.
