You're always going to get the cert error here, because ssl
negotiation (including certificate verification) happens before any
HTTP request headers are sent to apache. Further, apache can't know
what hostname is being requested until it reads the Host from the HTTP
request headers. So by the time it knows to redirect, the ssl
negotiation and certificate error are long gone. (This is the same
reason you can't do name-based virtual hosting with ssl.)

So you either need to fix your links to point to auth.server.com or
acquire a cert for the other hostnames.

Joshua.

That is what I was afraid of. Unfortunately, I cannot get a certificate for the other hostnames because I want to be able to redirect for any HTTPS site until the user logs in. Thanks for the help.
