Well, as the post say, "In certain specific circumstances, it is acceptable to use a single SSL configuration for several virtual hosts. In particular, this will work if the SSL certificate applies to all the virtual hosts. For example, this will work if: 1.. All the VirtualHosts are within the same domain, eg: one.example.com and two.example.com " and as Grant says the purpose of the ssl cert is to ensure you are connecting to a certain domain. in the case of one.example.com and two.example.com, they are the same domains, but different sub-domains. And as Bill states above one can have a cert (bought from GoDaddy.com) allowing several subdomains to use the same ssl cert. My question is if anyone knows how to create it on your own? regards totte "Glen Barber" <hexidigital@xxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:20070617234421.GA8417@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Quoting Totte: >> Does anyone know how to generate a certificate for a main domain and any >> numbers of sub-domains for a domain in Linux? >> >> I got my subdomains working using one cert for the main domain and the >> same cert for the subdomains.
