Ok to clarify (this is standard apache from day one moving from convential SSL certs towards SNI used today)
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to # prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses. # #Listen 12.34.56.78:80 Listen 80 #Listen 443 the above will specify the listening address / portby default this is ALL ip's on ALL interfaces (ie no Listen ip statement specified)
and is designated by * when setting up a host entry*:80 means normal httpd port on ALL avaliable ip's either specified above or if NO Listen statement then ALL interfaces will Listen.
*:443 means normal ssl port on ALL avaliable ip's either specified above or if NO Listen statement then ALL interfaces will Listen.
1.1.1.1:443 (for example) means non standard ip listen address (this is typically NEVER used anymore)
so what ever you tell apache to listen on by default or otherwise "*" means exactly that ALL INTERFACES SPECIFIED.
when using sni you MUST specify a seperate VirtualHost (NOT VHOSTS) <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName underconstruction.scom.ca ServerAlias underconstruction.scom.ca DocumentRoot /www/underconstruction.scom.ca </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:443> ServerName underconstruction.scom.ca ServerAlias underconstruction.scom.ca DocumentRoot /www/underconstruction.scom.ca SSLEngine on SSLProtocol all SSLCertificateKeyFile /www/scom.ca/ssl/scom.ca.key SSLCertificateFile /www/scom.ca/ssl/scom.ca.crt SSLCertificateChainFile /www/scom.ca/ssl/scom.ca.chain </VirtualHost>sni will pickup on the servername and then comapre the associated ssl cert as specified by the file location.
also note proper certs today get registered as the domain ie in this case scom.ca with also allow www.scom.ca (ServerAlias above) but nothing else (unless you have a wildcard)
this is all there is to it notes :ip addresses used to be assigned before the sni days, meaning that ssl only ran on one ip address and one certificate per server instance
which is why you needed 16 ipaddress to host 16 different ssl certificates.sni was invented because ipv4 addresses are running out (aka most upstream providers will not alot ip's for this useage anymore)
and most hosts run multiple domains names etc so sni is just simply more efficent.
Note when building Prerequisites to use SNI Use OpenSSL 0.9.8f or laterBuild OpenSSL with the TLS Extensions option enabled (option enable-tlsext; OpenSSL 0.9.8k and later has this enabled by default).
Apache must have been built with that OpenSSL (./configure --with-ssl=/path/to/your/openssl). In that case, mod_ssl will automatically detect the availability of the TLS extensions and support SNI.
Apache must use that OpenSSL at run-time, which might require setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent to point to that OpenSSL, maybe in bin/envvars. (You'll get unresolved symbol errors at Apache startup if Apache was built with SNI but isn't finding the right openssl libraries at run-time.)
Also i founs that the Include apache2/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.confhad to be modified not to use ssl certs by default (as they get specified in the Virtual Hosts statement.
Hope this is a better explanation and clarifies the confusion happening below ?

In rare cases, you can use IP:443 vhosts if you want specific handling based on the IP used to handle the request, such as https://IP1/ <https://IP1/> or https://IP2/ <https://IP2/>. However, it is rarely needed by most servers. For now, you can use *:443, and run apachectl -S to make sure there is no overlap before restarting httpd.
