[pca] [pca-proxy]: Local patch/pca server and https on S10+apache2 env

[Michele Vecchiato]

I want configure my dedicated local patch server(pca proxy mode with web 
server, no NFS way) to work with any "pca client" by https 
connections(port 443 by default). I want use Apache V2 Web server on 
Solaris 10 U7(05/09) on my SPARC system(Sun Fire V490). Will serve over 
400 pca clients.
I'm not an expert on apache, I have only basic knowledge.
I see a "LOCAL PATCH SERVER" section of 
http://www.par.univie.ac.at/solaris/pca/usage.html, but don't help me.

In Google I found these interesting documents:

[=] Apache 2 with SSL/TLS: Step-by-Step, Part 1 [1]
[=] Apache 2 with SSL/TLS: Step-by-Step, Part 1 [2]
[=] How to Configure an Apache 2.0 Web Server to Use the SSL Kernel 
Proxy [3]
   
The solutions found above seem long and complex to manage. Seeking a 
simple and easy to handle, as PCA ;)
The search on ML archive[4] don't have success and

Some of you have already done this configuration?

Best regards
