Hello,
Im trying to find a way to use one SSL on a VirtualMin box and then be able to host several different ecommerce sites on the box.
Ive went through the available options listed in the Docs here but still not sure will work for me, I do not want to run a wildcard SSL and wildcard domain name pointing to all one IP.
I was wondering if there was a way to use paths and symlinks.
Basically, something like this.
secure.myname.com could be a parked domain on top of say primary www.myname.com
Then get an SSL cert for secure.myname.com and point to the IP. Then during checkout a person would hit secure.myname.com and that would cover the site for www.myname.com
Then if I have subservers, say www.theirsite.com hosted as a subserver, it would be under /home//mysite/domains/theirsite.com/public_html
How do I get then all these subserver sites to use the same cert?
So how would I get secure.myname.com/theirsite to work in their /home/mysite/domains/theirsite/public_html
Would symlinks were in this instance or is there another way?
Thanks! Mike
Howdy,
With the way SSL works -- you can only have one SSL certificate per IP address.
So your options for making that work are --
Get multiple IP's, and put an SSL cert on each IP
Purchase a UCC SSL certificate, which allows you to use multiple domains on one cert -- which could then be used on your one IP
Or, another alternative -- those other sites could always redirect to your SSL protected primary site during the checkout process.
