Changing RDS to use SSL/Port 443 on Linux Server

[Mandel, Lawrence]

We're working with a Linux server, Redhat Linux 7.x with mod_ssl/2.8.4
OpenSSL/0.9.6b and ColdFusion Server 5.0.

We're trying to set the RDS service on the server so that ColdFusion Studio
RDS will connect using SSL on port 443 instead of HTTP on port 80. I've been
unable to find any instructions on how to change the RDS configuration on
the server to allow this. Any ideas, help, or links to information would be
welcome.

Thanks much,
Lon Mandel

All you have to do is force all requests matching the URL pattern
/CFIDE/main/ide.cfm to require HTTPS. There's no RDS listening port, per se
- it simply uses your web server.
