Great!! Now I have to figure out how to do it. You wouldn't happen to have
a link handy with some basic instructions on how to secure just a directory
instead of an entire site? I'm guessing that I would have to use some sort
of SSL <Directory></Directory> container inside my <Virtual> container but
this is just a guess.
I'll check with godaddy and see what I can dig up for cheaper
certificates...

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.
