Post subject: SSL, host headers, one site
Archived from groups: microsoft>public>inetserver>iis (more info?)

Hello, could somebody help me out with my problem?

I have a dedicated server. Hosting one website. In IIS I have created
two websites named www.domainname.com and domainname.com. Two
different IPs, different host headers, same ports. I assigned a SSL
certificate for each of them accordingly. There are two certificates
www.domainname.com and domainname.com (I cannot get a wildcard
certificate). The problem I am having is that there is a certificate
mismatch if I access the site by domainname.com. The certificate shows
up as www.domainname.com. I rechecked if the certificate was correct
for each website. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to go
about this? Could anybody advise me on how to solve this?

IIS
215.215.215.215:80:www.domainname.com
215.215.215.216:80:domainname.com

I changed SSL host headers in IIS metabase:
443:www.domainname.com
443:domainname.com

Hmm, from your description you have the correct configuation and a good idea
how this should be set up.

A couple things to check:

- what does the properties of each site say in the GUI? (You shouldn't need
to mess with the metabase to do what you are doing, why did you do that?)

- Is either of the sites, or the default site have "All unassigned" active?
If yes, either change it or just stop that site.

- Does "443" appear on the main page (NOT the properties window) of the host
headers area for "SSL port"?

- Do both sites work OK with port 80? (Http?) From an outside machine, do
both sites ping to the proper IPs? (IP "a" and IP "b")

- Do you have a router or firewall doing address translation?

- Go into the "Security" tab, then in the Certificate assignment, you should
be able to view and re-assign what cert to use in there. Does it have the
correct one? (If yes, try just re-assigning it)

I might try a reboot too...

I modified the SSL host headers because of one microsoft page. But I
probably misunderstood it. It said to modifify SSL host header in
order to use host headers with SSL. I removed the two websites and
started from the begining. Added one first, then second, restarted
IIS, added certificates, and restarted IIS. This seems to be working.
I guess I did something wrong the last time. Thanks for the tips.
