No it isn't. You only have encryption working. You do not have authentication.
Just to put the record straight for anyone in the future who might read this
thread, the poster is running a development setup and is only interested in
having the HTTP session encrypted. He does not car that all the namebsed hosts
are using the same certificate (the cert from the first VH). THis is fine if
you only want to encrypt the traffic but is useless in a commercial
environement where it is essential that the common name in the cert matches the
URL the user typed in. Put it this way; would you be happy to type your
credit-card number into a webpage which had "amazon" in the address bar but
where if you looked into the cert you saw that the common name was
"dodgy-dealer.com"?
Another analogy: if you had a million dollars to send to the bank and an
armoured car arrived to collect it, would you be happy to put your cash in the
car? It would be safe from robbers on its way to the bank, but how would you
know it was really going to go to the bank? You'd ask the driver for some ID,
I'd hope!
In the real world, authentication is every bit as important as encrpytion so
this is no real solution.
