look at CMFPlone/skins/plone_templates/ui_slots/login_slot.pt

see how the login box shows up when you are anonymous?
tal:condition="here/portal_membership/isAnonymousUser"

what you want is:
tal:condition="not: here/portal_membership/isAnonymousUser"

probably not

SSL.

cool, I use apache to do SSL. never heard of sltunnel.  might be nice to
have a HOWTO on zope.org
