That is a true statement. You are binding the cert to both, as host headers will not work with SSL. Bottom line, you've got to have a dedicated IP to generate the CSR. In my experience, there are no exceptions to this based on web server and there is no way around this issue.

This would be on a shared server where there may be dozens of domains. I am asking this specifically regarding IIS webserver and Apache. With some web server software you have to have a dedicated IP address before you can create your certificate. I would think that you are binding the cert to the domain name and that the IP would not enter into the equation but that does not always seem to be the case. Can anybody clear this up for me regarding IIS and Apache on NT.
