You have probabaly found the following link about configuring mod_ssl on Mac
OS X, but juest in case:
http://developer.apple.com/internet/macosx/modssl.html
Also as far as developing a a secure WO application, take a look at Chapter
14 (Security, Logging and Statistics )of Ravi Mendis' book WebObjects
Developer's Guide and Chapter 12 of Joshua Marker's book WebObjects5 for
MacOS X. They both describe use of SSL.
hope it helps
