A more complex question which I probably can't do a good job
answering. The /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file has some good inline
documentation. Your best bet, though, is probably to look at

http://www.apache.org 

...looking for the ssl documentation for version 2... 

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/ssl/

hope this helps,
Mike
