Hi All, My requirement is adding/configuring ssl virtual hosts dynamically to apache web server at runtime without apache restart. Details: I need to handle multiple virtual hosts ( IP based virtual host configuration) with ssl support for each virtual host. Each virtual host has its own certificates and key (maintained in files). And I need to generate fresh keys and certificates and update these certificates for a particular virtual host at runtime. I am able to do this change in httpd.conf. This updates take into effect only after I restart the apache. But my requirement is that I shouln't restart the apache web server while updating the certificates. As there are many other requests to other virtual hosts are being processed. 1) So would like to know is there any way where I can make apache read the cirticates details freshly without restart of apache. 2) Is there any configuration which would make re-read of the httpd.conf. Note: I am open to fallow other methods of storing keys and certificates. e.g storing LDAP if needed. Pls reply back ASAP. Thanks & Regards, Prathama. *********************** FSS-Unclassified *********************** *********************** FSS-Unclassified *********************** *********************** FSS-Unclassified *********************** "DISCLAIMER: This message is proprietary to Hughes Software Systems Limited (HSS) and is intended solely for the use of the individual to whom it is addressed.
