More than one Internet sites using the same SSL certificate on a single IP?

Hi,

I would like to create three different Internet sites on the same server matching our development environments.

3 Internet Sites for:

  • dev (development environment)

  • test (test and demo environment)

  • stage (to solve production bugs)

I was using different hosts to access each of those web sites (all using the same IP), for example:

env-dev.domain.com

env-test.domain.com

env-stage.domain.com

I want each of these hosts to redirect to a specific folder on the server, for example:

dev: domino/data/dev/…

test: domino/data/test/…

stage: domino/data/stage/…

I was using a “Substitution” rule for this. For example, for the “dev” Internet Site:

Incoming pattern: /ApplicationName/

Replacement pattern: /dev/ApplicationName/

What I don’t like with this is that I have to specify each application every time… but it was working nonetheless.

However, problems arise when I tried to use SSL. Even though I’m using a Wildcard SSL Certificate, it looks like my Internet Sites need to have a different IP to have SSL work correctly (otherwise, only the one Internet Site specifying the IP address is used, regardless of the host name used).

I wanted to avoid using more than one IP (3 IPs in this case).

I had the same problem with IIS on another server, but I’ve found that IIS now support (IIS6+) SSL host headers:

So with IIS, I can now have more than one web sites answering to the same SSL certificate on the same IP.

I was wondering if this can be done using Domino as well? Somebody managed to do this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Subject: redirect to ssl

Same problem here with 8.5.2 FP1 on RHEL5 using Internet sites

“Redirect TCP to SSL” actually redirects to IP instead of hostname included in oryginal URL. It makes redirection of all site that configured the option to one site with IP configured in “Host names or addresses mapped to this site” or gives ERROR in case IP is not configured in any of the sites or there is no “dafault” site ( Use this web site to handle requests which cannot be mapped to any other

web sites ).
