Anyway you just need to :
1) create a self signed certificate
2) edit fms.ini specifying that server has to listen to port
-443 (port 
443, with ssl handshaking)
3) edit  conf/adaptor.xml adding path to the cert file, key
file and 
passhphrase if needed
4) open the CA certificate file on your client, install the
certificate.
5) connect to fms with protocol rtmps


edit:
it's REALLY easy to do.
Problems arise if you want to use a certificate from a CA
which is not 
on your browser's CA list ... but there is a tricky
solution for that 
problem too.

i use SSL for videostreaming for some of our customers...
works like a 
charm.
Overhead is less than rtmpt (smaller delay over
communication... but 
this is strange to me... i would guess the opposite)
