Janine,
I am running AOLServer 4.1, nsopenssl 3.0 beta 17, RHEL 3.0 and I tried port 8443 and it works fine for me with a self-signed certificate. Just thought I would let you know. I agree with Bart that the certificate and the port have no relationship ... But maybe it's a question of the configuration .. even though, this sounds strange indeed...
Just my 2 cents
