Binding several websites with Wildcard Certificate IIS 7

Unless you set a different host header for each site binding to the same IP address, the sites need to be bound to a different port. If you can't assign a host header on your SSL sites for your wildcard cert, it's because the Friendly Name you set on the certificate when you imported it is not set correctly. In order to set a wildcard cert to work with multiple host headers the Friendly Name of the cert has to be *.domain.com

Hi hades666

I ran the commands that you mentioned and I get an error that says "Cannot find SITE object with identifier "domain name".

The command is correct, but you seem to have incorrect parameters set.

What is your website name in IIS Manager.

<YOUR WEBSITE NAME> = your IIS Manager site title. for example Default Web Site or domain name etc.... I don't know what you called your sites in IIS.


<YOUR SSL DOMAIN URL> = the url you want to use.

appcmd set site /site.name:"<YOUR WEBSITE NAME>" /+bindings.[protocol='https',bindingInformation='*:443:<YOUR SSL DOMAIN URL>']

if you are unsure, you can use the following to get the proper site names.

eg:

appcmd list site /text:name

This will output the IIS SITENAMES you have setup. Then simply replace the <YOUR WEBSITE NAME> with that title and cahnge the <YOUR SSL DOMAIN URL> to your wildcard proper domain (sub1.site.com) or what ever the domain is. Don't use the *.site.com here. Use the proper url.

Ok, thanks, I was able to bind the second site using appcmd but when I enter the https url the page doesnt display. It only displays the http part.

Hmmm..

It should be fine.  Can you provide the output of the following please.

appcmd list site
Also, provide the details of your certificate.

Regardless of the domain, the command above should work for you. The results are either;

A. HTTPS works fine for both sites If the domains are listed properly as subject alternative names. Lock appears in browser.

B. HTTPS works fine on main site and 2nd site says there is a problem with the security certificate. This means the domain is not in the certificate.

Either way, if both sites are up and the DNS is working it should load.


Let us know,

I think it has something to do with the test site because I tried it on two other sites and it worked. Thanks for your help Hades666.

Thanks for the help!!!!!!
