asked on

wild card SSL certificate for multiple sub domains

I have a wild card SSL certificate for one domain say xyz.com

I need to have multiple sub domains e.g (https://abc.xyz.com) running on the same SSL certificate on IIS 6. Can someone please help on how this is possible and any configurations needed for the same.
we are running a windows 2003 server

You have to use host headers and configure Server Bindings for SSL Host Headers.

To configure the SecureBindings metabase property for SSL host headers

Type the following command at the command prompt:

cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set /w3svc/<site identifier>/SecureBindings ":443:<host header>"

where host header is the host header for the Web site, for example, site2.contoso.com or site4.contoso.com.

i have tried out above solution but noo good

Hello everybody.

We have a web server (Win2k3 SP1 with ISS 6.0) with only one IP
address.
We need to host two different websites, both protected with SSL,
therefore we created the domain *.mydomain.com and we bought a
wildcard certificate for it.

In the IIS we add a new website, mydomain.com, and define two host
headers (sub1.domain.com and sub2.domain.com) both with the same IP:80
port combination.

Then, following instructions about how to set up multiple SSL
Identities with the same IP, I ran the commands:

cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set /w3svc/8/SecureBindings ":
443:sub1.domain.com"
cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set /w3svc/8/SecureBindings ":
443:sub2.domain.com"

cscript.exe adsutil.vbs set /w3svc/8/AccessSSL TRUE

note: 8 is the website identifier

What we need is to have both sub1.domain.com and sub2.domain.com
running, using the same ip:port and with SSL, protected by the
wildcard cert. *.domain.com
