Hi there,

It is said overall that multiple name based virtual hosts can't work
with ssl (see for example
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/ssl/ssl_faq.html#vhosts), but
surprisingly I got it work with apache 2...

From conf.d/ssl.conf:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NameVirtualHost 212.11.36.114:443

<VirtualHost 212.11.36.114:443>
ServerName vpn.bernard.tc
ServerAlias vpn.bernard.tk

(...)
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/bernard/vpn"

</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost 212.11.36.114:443>
ServerName vpn.kilargo.com
ServerAlias vpn.kilargo.fr

(...)
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/kilargo/vpn"

</VirtualHost>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then, https://vpn.bernard.tc/ goes to
/var/www/html/bernard/vpn/index.html and
https://vpn.kilargo.com to /var/www/html/kilargo/vpn/index.html...


Any idea? Did i miss something?

In the (...).

I noticed that only the first server certificate is used for all
virtual host. I think i understand why but it is quite enoying.

What is the best workaround (new port?)

«It comes as rather a shock to learn that it is impossible.»

I guess that documentation is not as accurate as it could. It is actually
possible to make several sites work with SSL using the same IP + port
combination. However, they will all share the same certificate; and since
certs are bind to full domain names that means browser will display a
warning. Encryption will work, anyway.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Hi,

Thank you for your confirmation. You said: "certs are bind to full
domain names"

In fact it is possible to create a server certificate for all
subdomain of one domain, without any warning.

When creating the server certificate (self signed in my case), simply
choose *.bernard.tc as hostname, an then any subdomain of bernard.tc
will work (vpn.bernard.tc, <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.bernard.tc," target="_blank">www.bernard.tc,</a> etc.). I tryed it with
success (IE, Mozilla).

New port or new IP. The best solution is a new IP but of course IPs cost
money. If you change port you'll always have to add port number to URLs.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
