One SSL per IP?

[flattery]

Why does ispconfig and so many other hosting packages only allow one ssl certificate per IP address?

I have setup multiple SSL certificates for virtually hosted domains on one IP before, so I know that it can be done. The process is about the same as setting up a virtual domain, but under the SSL area.

So if it can be easily done, why does ispconfig and so many other hosting packages not let you do it? :confused:

It's a limitation of the SSL protocol. You can have only one SSL web site per IP address.

That is not true. Obviously you did not read my post very well.

On a server that I helped run last year, we had 3 running on a single IP.

You set it up the same way as you setup a virtual website on one IP...
It has been a while, but I believe you just put * for the IP.

I was just reading a How-to about it the other day also, I stumbled upon it when trying to figure out why so many control panels do not allow it.

Actually... I just found a How-to on howtoforge.com as to how to do this with ispconfig...

These solutions have to be considered experimental. Traditionally, you need one IP per HTTPS web site.
