Flash Remoting from Flash Media Server over SSL

Hi, Iv got a problem here that could be Flash Remoting or Flash Media Server
related

I have created an application that uses flash media server and flash remoting.

For authentication in my app I used Kevin Towes suggested method "Secure
Authentication with Flash Communication Server: Using Tickets and Flash
Remoting MX." His article is here
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashcom/articles/ticket/fcs_secure_ticket.pdf

Now to the problem...

My application has no problem connecting to coldfusion using flash remoting
with the defaultGateway url set to "https://www.mysite.com" (ie over SSL)

However In main.asc, on the Flash Media Server
When Flash Media server attempts to validate the login by connecting to CFMX
using flash remoting it gets no response when using a secure gateway url. If
I set the default gateway url to just http://www.mysite.com it works great.

Why do I not get any response when using https as my gateway url from Flash
Media Server?

thanks

Ok I managed to find the solution,

My FMS was not setup to use SSL.

Once I followed the directions detailed in the documentation on how to secure
FMS and I setup the SSL certificate in the server.xml and adaptor.xml file then
it all worked great.
The documentation is located in the flash media server documentation directory
and the ssl stuff is in the flashmediaserver_managing.pdf
