Most problems regarding SSL and CF (or any other scripting language) involve
session and client management across servers. If the secure area of your
site (for a shopping cart checkout, for example) is on a different server
and/or at a different URL, then you may have to deal with these issues. If,
on the other hand, the secure site is on the same server and at the same
URL, then there shouldn't really be any problems. If at all possible, try
to get an SSL certificate for the host domain where your main site resides.
If you have multiple domains, then this might not be practical.
If this sounds like the situation you're in, then look into issues of
maintaining sessions across servers and discussions about using client
variables vs. session variables.
