Thread:Project:Support desk/Securing Logins

I have recently installed a Wikimedia instance and cannot seem to locate information for securing the login credentials (using SSL). I've scoured install guides, FAQs, forums, and whatever else I could think of but am hitting a wall here. Is there any information or guide to getting this set up? I shudder to think of passwords being sent over in cleartext. Any direction anyone could provide would be much appreciated.
