Package: apache2 Version: 2.2.3-3.3 a wildcard SSL certificate (for *.chemistry.unimelb.edu.au) that works fine in apache 2.0.49 on a SUSE server, doesn't work in apache 2.2.3 on debian. (i'm building a pair of debian etch boxes as an LVS load-balanced replacement for our SUSE web server box, and am currently deep in the compatibility-testing stage of the migration).
the error message is: [Wed Mar 14 14:56:55 2007] [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `*.chemistry.unimelb.edu.au' does NOT match server name!? the domain name in this case is 'it.chemistry.unimelb.edu.au', which does match the wildcard cert. i tried googling for similar problems and found this: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-cvs&m=114017665119886&w=2 which mentions a patch for apache 2.3 which fixes a similar sounding problem: + *) mod_ssl: Fix spurious hostname mismatch warning for valid + wildcard certificates. PR 37911. [Nick Burch <nick torchbox.com>] the date of that patch is 2006-02-17 - has it been backported to apache2.2 yet? craig -- Craig Sanders Systems Administrator School of Chemistry University of Melbourne Ph: +61 3 83447309 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
