Quick and Dirty SSL for a Rails app

Rails
1

People,

To improve security for things like SquirrelMail and RoundCubeMail, I
can just place the mail app directory into the Apache SSL dir, add some
stuff to /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf and it just works when I point the
browser using “https: . . .”. Is there a quick method like that for
Rails apps? ie not having to make any changes to the Rails app itself?
I can’t get it to work (I am using Apache and Passenger on Fedora 14
x86_64).

Thanks,

Phil.

Well provided you don’t have any code in your application that won’t
work
with https, you should be good to go.

Just make sure the domain you are using to access your Rails application
is
SSL protected (via Apache, load balancer, or other means) and then
simply
access it using https.
