Hello,Have a question pertaining to using mod_ssl on one of my virtual sites. I am running a web mail application in a directory on one of my sites and I was wondering if it would be possible to secure just a particular directory and everything under it. For example, my site is <http://www.example.com>www.example.com but I am wanting to secure <http://www.example.com\mail>www.example.com\mail. Can it be possible to just use SSL on that particular directory rather than securing an entire site. The reason I am asking is that I am going to use a self signed certificate (not going to pay an outrageous price of $800+) and I.E. complains about a certificate not being signed by a root authority. I only need a handful of users going to the "\mail" directory and I can have them import the certificate so that I.E. doesn't complain each time one of them tries to access that directory. The public accessing <http://www.example.com>www.example.com doesn't need SSL and if I had to turn it on for the whole site, I.E. might scare them away when it says the certificate can't be verified...Thanks guys!

---------------- End original message. ---------------------Yes, you can secure any portion of a site, there is no need to do the whole thing.
Also, there are affordable certificates available. I paid $35 for one from GoDaddy for a web ticketing system I did for a non-profit event. VeriSign and their ridiculously inflated pricing is not the only option.
