Hi,

I tried to install two web server certificates in the same machine (but
in diferente sites), with IIS 6.0, but with no success.

What happened was that when I first install the first certificate
everything works fine, but after installing the seconded one (in another
site) the first certificate never work again. I tried making backup e
installing again, tried to remove and install the certificate again.and
nothing works. can anyone help me????


I already install IIS Diag and everything looks ok...



Thanks in advanced,

Henrique Alves.

Hi,

How does this error represent itself? What happens when you try and use the
first certificate?

Are you running these different sites on different IP addresses? Are there
any errors in Event logs (Applications and System logs)?

Hi,

Like this - When I tried to browse the first site that I "install" the
certificate, I get the certificate from the second site. Understand?

I think you gave me a great tip, I change the IP Address from
the site and now I just get the first certificateK, strange. but it since
that should be something to do with this.

I'm running the sites with the same IP address (just with
different host headers), is there a problem?? Should I run with different IP
's??

The Event log don't show any error related.

Can you help me with this now??



Many thanks Mike,

Henrique Alves.

You should either use different IP address or different TCP port when you
use SSL. You can't use host header when you use SSL.

Actually, with Windows Server 2003 SP1, IIS6 supports Host Headers with SSL.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pr...941b07554c.mspx

The key fact that remains is that SSL requires exactly one Server
Certificate per IP:Port combination.

This means that to implement two SSL websites using different certificates,
you must have two different IP:Port combination.

Even with Host Header over SSL, the requirements are that all the host
header websites MUST use the same SSL server certificate -- which means that
you must configure a wildcard SSL certificate for all of those websites.

Clearly, this limits Host Header over SSL to only support sub-domains --
that is:
https://subdomain1.domain.com and https://subdomain2.domain.com can both
share the common *.domain.com SSL server certificate configured for those
two domains.

In particular, since you cannot get a *.com certificate, you cannot use Host
Header over SSL for https://domain1.com and https://domain2.com

In other words, IIS6 on Windows Server 2003 SP1 does not impose any
restrictions on SSL that are not already there in the protocol or by how the
world treats SSL Server Certificates.
