snoopy:

If you comment out lines 156-159:

# LOGOUT_RUNMODE => 'logout', # LOGIN_RUNMODE => 'login', # POST_LOGIN_RUNMODE => 'okay', # RENDER_LOGIN => \&my_login_form,

Then the Authentication plugin will use its default login form, which does NOT make use of SSL. The main reason I needed to create my own was to enable SSL functionality.

As for setting up apache+ssl, you can try looking here:

It's geared towards ubuntu linux, but should apply to any Debian based linux distibution with minor changes.

Good luck!
