Do this by going to "Configure Apache Web Server", then at the top "SSL Settings". Your clients can access the shared SSL cert by using: https://server.domain.com/~adminXX/ Replacing XX with their site number. They can find this out be logging into their Site Administrator control panel and clicking on the "Site Summary" link. For example, your client should see somewhere on the page: Domain Preview: http://IPaddress/~admin24/ I hope this helps you.

Have plenty of IP's just cant work out how to get it shared :( UH-Matt 04-03-2003, 07:36 AM you can only use a certificate for one IP or hostname, the one its signed for. You will need a new certificate for each IP. Scotty_B 04-03-2003, 07:48 AM I know I'll need a different certificate for each IP, but cant see a way to share a certificate unless it uses the servers hostname. I could do https://hostname.mydomain.com/~whatever/ But what about https://secure.otherdomain.com/~whatever? All I get when trying it with a domain thats not the host name is. The requested URL /~admin1/ was not found on this server Is there any way to get round this or am I stuck :( TIA UH-Matt 04-03-2003, 08:00 AM Should be possible with a little hacking around in the configs, but no "default" way of doing it with standard Ensim. Scotty_B 04-03-2003, 08:02 AM thats what I thought, just need to find where to fiddle ;) Cheers Scotty_B 04-03-2003, 09:56 AM Ok came up with a way, just created a symbolic link to the stuff I wanted to be shared, had to enable Options FollowSymLinks in httpd.conf. Not sure if that would create any security issues, though I am the only one with ssh and ftp access so I guess there isnt really any issues. |
