Subject: [CentOS] multiple signed ssl certificatess on single IP address Good afternoon everyone, This is my first post here. I was wondering if someone could clear my mind about this. I have a dedicated server with a single ip address assigned to it. I want to host couple of site which are hosted somewhere else and they have signed certificates. Now I want to host them all on this single server. Is it possible to bound more than one cert to a single IP based apache server and host multiple virtual directories? I did a research on line and found couple answers which are all confusing me. One suggested that I need to get additional ip's and assign different sites to it. (Not a very practical solution) Other one says we can use the same cert and ip but have secondary host on different port number than default. Something likes https://www.abc.com <https://www.abc.com/> and https://www.def.com:444 <https://www.def.com:444/> and so on. But this will cause people a warning regarding the certificate error on second path, is that correct? Some one suggested a wild card certificate but how can I do that since dedicated server name is a.dedicated.hostingcompany.com and I need to generate certificates covering *.abc.com and *.def.com Would someone kindly clear my mind on this issue? greetings Ara Avvali, as i recall, the "most practical" and still the easiest solution is to have multiple ip addresses available and to provision them to the host then do dns to have each domain that requires ssl on it's own unique ip address. yes, you can jump through the hoops the other way as you have found. there are many single ip solutions. some work better than others. some stink. in the last two months i have not checked the latest server software granularity for dealing with certs on a single ip though... meaning, i dont know how many of the goofy hurdles and hoop jumping have truly been removed that satisfy the server and client side transparency issues & needs. - rh -- Robert Hanson - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
