Wiser heads than I will slap me if I'm wrong here but it's pretty much
just editing/commenting/uncommenting 
/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf
as appropriate & restarting Apache

The definitive guide for mod_ssl is at
 http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_ssl.html


Contact me off list if you would like an example of a working conf.
