Actually it is possible since a wildcard certificate is being usedAs long as each virtual host is valid for that certificate everything will work.
Example wildcard certificate for *.mydomain.com and the following virtual hosts <VirtualHost *:80 *:443> ServerName www.mydomain.com ... </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:80 *:443> ServerName www2.mydomain.com ... </VirtualHost>The wildcard certificate is valid for both virtual hosts so this scenario will work

Hi,OK, I didn't make my point very well actually. Yes it works even when you have multiple ssl hosts on the same IP. The problem is only one certificate is valid, and the browser will put up a message saying something like the certificate is valid but not issued for this host. This is the thing that doesn't work that I was talking about. As for a wildcard certificate, I actually haven't heard of one, which of course doesn't say they don't exist.So, to answer your question, yes, what you have will run, but it doesn'treally make much sence, especially if you have to provide a commercial solution, as I do. greetings from Austria Markus On Thursday 16 March 2006 12:55, Frédéric Jolliton wrote:Hi Markus, [..]Again, there is no problems with this config, but I was just wondering about its validity.[..]Actually, having multiple HTTPS virtual hosts on the same IP address is not possible becasue of limitations in SSL itself.Are you sure you read my message in details ? I presented a *working* configuration (I'm running it on my server.) It's possible to have several https virtual hosts on the same IP address (on the same port), as long as the certificate's 'cn' field match all the corresponding domain names. So you need a wildcard certificate (and client supporting at least one '*' wildcard.) And to be more precise, it works even without any valid 'cn' as long as the client process https without taking care of the certificate (useless and bad, but possible.) I asked because I would like to know if it's fine to configure the server as shown in my original message.---------------------------------------------------------------------The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info.
