Hello,
  I am trying to find the info on NS's site, but as I will need to answer
questions by tomorrow I was wondering if there is a good reference so that
I can tell what is being encrypted (ie headers, just body of HTML
request), is it bi-directional encryption, life of the session key. The
other part is that we will be using this primarily for sites setup here
that have restricted access, so are using LDAP for verifying the people's
login and password, so is that request information for gaining access to a
restricted area encrypted? I am assuming everything to the https: site
would be encrypted, but that is just a guess. If these answers are in
some document please let me know so I can read it.

  Thanx.
