Re: SSL Websites



If you want to run multiple SSL enabled websites on the same IP + Port then you need either:

a) a wildcard certificate that matches *.domain.com (i.e. any host in domain.com) -and- all your host names need to be in domain.com

-or-

b) a certificate that has multiple host names in the Subject Alternate Name (SAN) field - each of which matches the hostnames you have (e.g. host1.domain1.com and host2.domain2.com)

Host Header fields are not available with SSL secured sites. THis is because the Host: header is encrypted, and not available to IIS during the SSL handshake process between the browser and server.

I am trying to run multiple SSL enabled websites on a single IIS 6 web server
on Win2003 Ent Edition in a test setup. I am using a Internal CA service on
one of my Windows 2003 server.

What I noticed was that IIS 6 does not allow us to run multiple SSL enabled
website on the same default ssl port 443. Two SSL enabled site work fine on
different ports.

All these multiple website use different Host Header name & work fine while
working on the same IP & the default port 80. But when ssl enabled only one
can be active if all are set to use 443.

Any workaround to have Multiple SSL website on a singel IIS 6 that would use
different HHN but the same IP & port 443?
