Java Programming

Hi all,
I'm using a local apache 2 web server to run sugarcrm community edition on a linux machine. i use a java client with sugarcrm SOAP API to authenticate users. this works for http connections. Now i want to be able to authenticate users through secure https connections.
I know for this i'll need to tell my web server to enable SSL connections..a probable solution is to Modify .htaccess file in the sugar system.
in case there is a user who hasn't configured his web server/sugar system to accept https connections , can we enable him to connect by using SSL code logic in client soap code? I mean there are users in my java application who are complaining that my application couldn't authenticate them through SSL . so i'm looking for a way to support SSL connection through sugarcrm soap API (in java).
What i need is even if user didn't configured his webserver/sugarcrm system for SSL connection , my java client code will enable him to talk to sugarcrm soap service through a secure connection. is this possible? i mean can i write java code on client side to enforce SSL communication with sugarcrm soap service even if user didn't enabled SSL on web server?

any help is much appreciated.
