Multiple SSL certificates on WebSphere App Server v5.1

[p***@vanmarcke.be]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem. I'm running 2 different webapps on the same server, but they have a different domainname.

They are both SSL enabled, so how can I use 2 different certifates?

I have included both certifcates into the keyfiles from the was, but it only takes one certificate, I always get a seurity error that the certificate doesn't match the domainname.

Anybody that know the answer?

Thank you.

Can you not set up a virtual host?

Both domain names map to the same IP address, correct? Then a
virtual_host mapping would be the right thing to do.

Cheers!

Install the two apps in two different application servers. That way you can
point to either different certificate repository or you can point to
different certificate labels.

Hi,

You should be installing the certificates on your http server (IBM HTTP
Server or IIS). It is more scalable this way than letting WAS itself
terminate the SSL connection. If you do this, configuring the http
server to use different SSL certificates for different domains should
be a simple matter. One thing that cannot change is that the different
websites should be accessed via different IP addresses. Name-based
virtual hosts will not work with multiple SSL certificates.
