Crypto, Thanks for the info on SNI. I'm currently running on httpd-2.0.46, therefore, SNI support is not there. The browsers support listed on that wiki can't support the browser versions that are offered in the company currently. The application is running on Redhat 3.9.
Are you saying that I can request two IPs for the same server? I'd need to contact our admin over here. I am not sure if we can request a wildcard cert either. If I just request another SSL cert for the second site (not doing any of methods that you listed below), does Apache would still use the default SSL cert for the main site? The user would still get that warning? Is that what you are saying? Please advise.

Latest stable is 2.2.15 in the 2.2 branch and can make use of SNI ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication ). Prior to 2.2.12, SNI support wasn't there officially. Are you targeting a specific browser or OS with your Application? If platform independent then you will need to do one of the following: Separate IPs, Separate Ports on shared IP, use a wildcard cert, or use a multi-domain certificate. If you're only allowing Firefox 2.x and higher and IE on Vista and Higher, you can go the SNI route. Easiest method is the Separate IPs route with whatever certificate combination you want. Hope this helps. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
