Shared SSL Set up?

How to setup a Shared SSL Server from the host perspective

[dgerler]

I want to set up a shared SSL server to use with several of my websites.

I have searched and searched for information about setting up a shared SSL server from the hosting provider's perspective. The only information I find is from a webmaster's perspective.

Can anyone direct me towards documentation where I can learn about it?

Does anyone have any advice for us?

A shared SSL Server is just a SSL VituralHost. Are you asking, what do you need to change in your httpd.conf? It's kind of a vague question, I assume you are running your own server. If thats the case here are the rules:
1. Only one SSL VirtualHost per Internet IP address. Unlike Apache's NameVirtualHost, SSL only responds to requests on a specific IP address.
2. You need a SSL Cert. For testing you can create your own.
3. You need to run either OpenSSL or ModSSL, and Apache must be compiled for it.

Do a Google search on Apache ModSSL, or post some specific questions along with your OS and Server info.

you can't share certs between domains

you could also look into chained ssl certs for subdomains. You could possibly use a seperate domain and have an individual subdomain for each site that needs a cert.

Not sure if I am completely understanding the need implied.
