How To Set Up SSL Vhosts Under Nginx + SNI Support (Ubuntu 11.04/Debian Squeeze) This article explains how you can set up SSL vhosts under nginx on Ubuntu 11.04 and Debian Squeeze so that you can access the vhost over HTTPS (port 443). SSL is short for Secure Sockets Layer and is a cryptographic protocol that provides security for communications over networks by encrypting segments of network connections at the transport layer end-to-end. In addition to that I will show how to make use of SNI (Server Name Indication) to allow multiple SSL vhosts per IP address.

Hi,

I am facing the issue. On Nginx I have 2 domains and both domains are running on SSL. For example my domain abc.com is running on wildcard certificate and other domain xyz.com is having the single certificate. When I run the ssl checker on SSLLABS.com website its picking up the SNI sections and says common name mismatch and its picking up the abc.com wildcard name.

 

Here is my nginx version:

 

$ nginx -v

nginx version: nginx/1.4.6 (Ubuntu)

 

$ lsb_release -a

No LSB modules are available.

Distributor ID: Ubuntu

Description:    Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS

Release:        14.04

Codename:       trusty

how can I enabled SNI feature in my ubuntu nginx box.

Regards,

 

Shoaib
