How can I securely manage Plone remotely over SSL?
One way is to set your plone installation to run behind apache (over SSL), secure the plone install so that it only listens on non-routable interfaces, and never log in to plone over a non secure connection. So for instance, if you're running linux, you could log into your server using SSH and:
- install plone using the universal installer (which has one server and two clients)
- change the client1 and client2 configuration to only listen on the localhost (check the .conf files for how to set this up)
- set up apache with SSL, mod_rewrite and mod_proxy, see http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/apache-ssl
