I am not a webadmin but I have recently inherited a project at work from the current admin who has moved on to better things. And 1 week into the job out client has suddenly asked for an upgrade (I was told that I’d never have to touch the thing!) 
So at the moment we have a server running Redhat acting as a webserver (Apache 1.3 + php) for an Intranet. The client uses IE6 to log in (max of 50 sim connections) to check his telephone stats for each of his branches.
Now though he wanst to use SSL and It’s my job to get it working!
All I need to know right now if it’ll be possible for me, a telecom engineer with a good understanding of Windows and IT to be able to convert the current server to an SSL-enabled server, with little knowledge of linux?
From what I’ve read on the net I’m gonna need the Apache-SSL module, recompile and install Openssl. Then I’ll need a certificate and off I go.
Is it really going to be as simple as that? I’ve never compiled in linux before but I’ll figure that bit out, and I’m guessing that because it’s an Intranet I won’t need to actually buy a certificate will I?
