Does the Zope webserver have SSL built in?
There are patches to do that, but, unless you have a good reason not to, it would be better to use a front end proxy such as squid or apache, and let them take care of encryption.
Fair enough--but for low volume intranet-like sites, Zope with built-in SSL is very convenient, easy to manage, and has decent performance. Richard Jones has produced a pre-compiled Zope 2.43 with SSL and WebDAV SSL for MacOSX that really makes things easy (and includes his attractive GUI Zope controller): http://www.zope.org/Members/richard/zope_for_osx/ Granted I haven't looked hard, but I have not found a straightforward description of how to do the SSL build. I'd like to put together a package similar to Richard's for Zope 2.51 Jim Harrison Univ. of Pittsburgh
