Hi,
I have installed httpd-2.2.3 and I would like to generate a certificate.
The machine on which it is installed has an internal name
(internal.domain.com) and I would like to use another name for external
purpposes (services.external.domain.com).
I would like to generate a certificate for the external name
(services.external.domain.com).
I was wondering where I could configure the name in Linux config file as
well as in the httpd config files to make it work.
I haven't seen a naming parameter in httpd.config.
Would you give me some direction?
Thank you,
Hélène
Conventional SSL certificates are tied to a specific "Common Name".
In Apache terms, this is the same as the hostname you put in the browser
in order to connect to a given VirtualHost.
EG: "www.example.com"
If you want two different hostnames, you generally need two different
certificates. Similarly, you will need a unique IP:port combination for
each Virtual Host, since the ServerName variable isn't seen by Apache
until after the SSL handshake.
There are exceptions to this: Wildcard certificates (for
"*.example.com") and "SNI" are two.

Mark,
You're forgetting a group in Multi-Domain Certificates (Multi-Common
Names and Single Common Name, multi-SAN[Subject Alternative Name]).
These certificates are very common with hosting providers and on
Exchange 2007+ platforms.
