Problem is that if you cannot read the request before the SSL handshake, it means that during the SSL handshake Apache does not know which of the three certificates to present to the client since it has not been able to read the Host header yet. Apache will attribute the request to the first of the virtual hosts that matches the IP address and present the certificate of that one to the client. Therefore you cannot use SSL with Named Virtual Hosts. -ascs -----Message d'origine----- De : Andrea Palmieri [mailto:palmieri@xxxxxx] Envoyé : vendredi 22 avril 2005 14:41 À : users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Objet : Re: [users@httpd] SSL reverse proxy question You are not mistaken....the three CA certificates would match the three servers name...where is the problem ?
