Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : Help with server wide cert.

[native]

We have recently purchase the server software from HSpher (Domain System Manager) and are server is with RackShack. We are interested in installing a server wide cert. (NOT A WILD CARD CERT) that each client can run their pages through. Example would be https://host.secureserver.com/mydomain/mypage.htm. When we had a server with Alabanza we were able to do this. My question is can this be done with any Linux RedHat server that is running Apache MOD SSL. And if so can any one give us some pointers on how to do it.

This works to share the SSL cert with no warning messages for all sites on the RaQ3 & RaQ4 servers if the SSL cert is set up on the main server domain.
To configure the SSL aliases add these two lines to the httpd.conf file in the VirtualHost section for SERVERNAME.com
AliasMatch ^/secure/([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/$1/web/$3
ScriptAliasMatch ^/secure-cgi/([^/]+)(/(.*))? /home/sites/$1/web/$3
To access the secure certificate use the following formats:
For html pages use this format: https://SERVERNAME.com/secure/www.DOMAINNAME/index.html

Thanks,
Do you think this will work with red hat.
Thanks

Redhat and Apache, Yep. Just make a copy (backup) of httpd.conf in case something gets screwed up and restart apache after you make the changes.

We'll try it tomorrow.
