Can you clarify a couple of things::
1. You have a website at http://mysub-domain.xyz.com
2. You have a secure website at https://secure.xyz.com/~mysub-domain
3. https://secure.xyz.com/~mysub-domain points to the exact same content as
http://mysub-domain.xyz.com ??
That sounds like no problems on IIS. All it entails is one SSL certificate
shared on a secure site, and all sub-domains that have secure services are
simply vdirs under the secure site. You then check "Accept only SSL" on the
secure site and you are done.
I create two websites, one is secure and one isn't, and I create a vdir on
the secure one that is named like the insecure one and point its physical
directory to the insecure website's content, and when I want secure services
I simply make the client go to the secure website using my vdir name.
Or am I completely missing something?
FYI: SSL has nothing to do with PHP -- SSL is a connection-level concept
while PHP is an application-layer concept -- SSL happens way before PHP even
gets involved.

Hi Bernard.. What I want to do is be able to share an SSL certificate over several sites. I know this can be done as I have it being done on a personal web server by an outside vendor. Basically it works this way. (I'm not sure technically how it works and thats why I'm trying to engineer one.) The main webserver the sites sit on has a subdomain that a certificate is issued to. Lets call it secure.xyz.com. I have a website on the same server whether it be a sub- domain or domain of itself. Now when the website was setup, a secure connection to the shared SSL was also established the form it takes is https://secure.xyz.com/~my sub or domain name, less the .com. Example: The original website http:mysub- domain.xyz.com and the secure website through the shared SSL https://secure.xyz.com/~mysub-domain. If I want secure services I call the https connection and then add to it the virtual path example: https://secure.xyz.com/~mysub- domain/purchases/index.asp. I looked at the way the connection appears and what I did was created a secure.xyz.com and attached a certificate opening the SSL channel 443. Next I created a virtual directory inside the secure.xyz.com and called it ~mysub- domain. I did this to insure no duplicate names. If I remove the SSL connection to the two of them (secure.xyz.com and virtual directory ~mysubdomain) and call http://secure.xyz.com/~mysub-domain the mysub-domain comes up in the browser no problem. However, when I attach the SSL socket to the website I get page not found. The mysubdomain doesn't own a certificate only the secure.xyz.com. I've been searching the net and know this can be done in PHP but am not familiar with that add-in. Microsoft does attach the secure.xyz.com cetificate to the virtual directory but I can't view the folder through a web browser. I'm sure MS must allow it or they wouldn't give SSL security tabs to virtual directories or would they? Can you help me.
