First name based virtual hosting and ssl do not mix. If www.domaina.com has
an ip address of 192.168.1.1 and then you give www.domainb.com the same ip
address with the ssl cert it will use the cert for domaina.com as it is the
cert bound to that ip address. thusly the cert will generate an error to the
browser that the certificate does not match the domain name as the
certificate is registered to www.domaina.com and not www.domainb.com.


As far as part 2 of your question, I have no problems doing that...

 Virtual Site List
  Host Name    IP Address
 access.rozakis.com  207.166.217.89

Any RaQ3 users out there?

I have this strange feeling that the following two questions
are going to be very popular (or should I say "unpopular")
issues with new RaQ3 users since it's apparent Cobalt
neglected to include these features in their version of
RedHat v6.0.

1) I'm utilizing the name-based IPs features for virtual
sites, but I need to be able to allow my virtual sites to
use my current SSL certificate.  How can I get this to work
without having to assign each virtual site their own IP
address?   Doing otherwise would be a big waste of IPs, plus
an unncessary added cost since additional IPs would have to
be purchased.  I would prefer not to modify the httpd.conf
file, or other files that the server management interface
uses, because any changes to this file will be overwritten
once I add new virtual sites.  I'm guessing this is somewhat
the same senario for all of the RaQ2 users.  Or possibly, is
there a third-party software available that would accomplish
the same task for ssl cerficiate sharing in a named-based
environment?

2) How do I setup alias domains (ie.
somename.domain_name.com) through the server management
interface?  Or is there some other file I can manually edit
that won't affect the server management's operations??  The
RaQ3 complains when I put "somename.", other than "www.", in
the HOST section while attempting to add a new virtual site.

Thanks in advance!
