RE: Virtual SSL on one IP?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I would like to say this different:
Indeed, there is no way to use NAME BASED virtual hosts on the same IP /
Port with different SSL certificates.
However, it is possible to use IP PASED virtual hosts with different SSL
certificates => they will have to be on different Ips or different
ports.

Also, something that is never said, probably because it's not officialy
supported: it is possible to use "dirty" name based virtual hosts with
the _SAME_ SSL certificate (at least with Apache 2.0).

As said previously, the server name is also encrypted. But it seems like
Apache uses the first SSL certificate it founds (the first
SSLCertificateFile directive), whatever the servername. Once the SSL
handshake has been done, name based virtual hosts work just like with
non-SSL vhosts. Obviously, this will only work with "wildcard"
certificates. You'll have to share the same "*.mydomain.com" certificate
for all your "servername1.mydomain.com", "servername2.mydomain.com"
dirty name based virtual hosts.
If you want to use this alternative, I suggest including a .conf file in
each of your <VirtualHost> directives. This .conf file will contain only
SSLCertificateFile directive to show that all your virtual hosts use the
same file and that you can't change one without affecting the others...

So, in a word, you can use name based virtual hosts with a wildcard SSL
certificate, all the "non-SSL" directives will work as expected on your
virtual hosts.

This is not a very clean alternative, but that can prove very useful
when you don't have plenty of IPs...
