Thanks Beau and Jeff for your help in resolving this.

I was able to get it working very quickly by assigning the second virtual host to listen on another port number.

Best,

Actually, the answer is RTFM..

You can not have multiple SSL vhosts responding to one IP/port
combination..  The FIRST SSL vhost will ALWAYS respond when making the
connection.. This is due to how the protocol works..

Thanks Beau,

Here's the pertinent bits (this file may look a bit strange -- it's a
Mac OS X Server conf file, but functions in almost every way like
traditional http.conf file):

results in an error in IE: "the identity certificate name is not

disappears and the second one works fine. I need them to work
together...


Anyone know how can I configure my virtual hosts/httpd.conf to avoid
this problem?

Hi -


I see nothing wrong with your conf file. I have some
suggestions:

* since your SSL servers work one at a time, perhaps
this is not an SSL problem. Remember, the first
vhost is the 'default': any request that does
not match a name (within that ip:port group)
is sent to that first server. Why don't you comment
out the SSL directives, change the ports to 80,
and see if you can browse to each vhost?

* in the same vein, is you bind (dns) server setup
OK?

* you may want to look at each server cert:

openssl rsa -noout -text -in <whetever>.crt

the subject CN should match the server name.

* if you certs are self-signed, your browser
will give you an error - that the CA is not
recognized as trusted - but everything else
should be OK if your CN matches the server
name.

Let me know how it goes...
