This is part of Apache configuration. You'll have to generate a 
certificate and put it in the appropriate place. As far as the changes 
to Apache's configuration, below is an excerpt from my own notes on 
setting up a Horde-based webmail server. This was done on RHEL 4; path 
names for other distributions may of course vary. You'll also have to 
do things differently if you are running more than one virtual host on 
the server.


Edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf and change all the logging lines to not 
create special ssl logs:
    ErrorLog logs/error_log
    TransferLog logs/access_log
    #CustomLog logs/ssl_request_log \
    #          "%t %h %{SSL_PROTOCOL}x %{SSL_CIPHER}x \"%r\" %b"
To direct all traffic to the secured site, 
edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and add these lines within the 
<Directory "/var/www/html"> section:
    # Added to force all traffic to use SSL
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
    RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R]
