Yes, simple_axis_server is incapable of handling SSL requests.
What I meant by saying that the SSL transport is a feature of Axis2/C is
that Rampart has nothing to do with the SSL transport (yet). Sorry if
it was misleading.

IIRC, SSL Client authentication is a post-0.96 feature. It will be
updated in the site with the next release.

Just to confirm, the documentation seems to imply that SSL transport is
not a part of Axis2/C "server-side" (I guess this would be the "simple
axis server") only client. For server-side, apache must be used,
correct? (I imagine this is due to the extreme security requirements of
the server and wanting to reuse apache to meet them.)
I found the client certificate info in the new docs, thanks.
Thanks.

Yes, Axis2/C supports both ssl server authentication and client
authentication. Please refer to the axis2c manual [1].
I would suggest you use axis2 1.0.0 RC3 [2] or the latest svn head,
since ssl transport has been updated since 0.96 release. In this case
you will have to refer to the documentation from the trunk [3].
Note that ssl transport is not a feature of rampart, but of Axis2/C
itself.
Regards,
Dumindu.
