SSL Help!

[Shaun]

I have one SSL certificate for serer which is for my web site on port 80
I also have 3 other staging sites on different ports i.e. 8081

Is it possible to use the current SSL certificate for the other ports?
If not, what would I have to do to secure these staging sites?
Is it possible???

One ssl cert per site. I would hit thawte's website and demo a cert for a year. They actually let you demo them that long. I have one running on my server here. There are always multiple bindings. It will not work in your case though. You want to secure all the sites with the same cert. However, you can put the in the same directory, or beneath the secured site and make a the link pull from the secured server to the directory beneath. That is about it. If you have any other questions, feel free to email me.

Thanks Nick!

Also would the following ssl configuration work ...

One web server, with multiple web sites all on port 80.
To SSL each of the web sites, could I give a seperate IP address
for each site, and a seperate SSL certificate for each site.
Would this work?

In order to run multiple ssl certs on the same server, you will need to have multipls ip addresses. For each site, they will need to have a dedicated ip address. You can run as many site that do not use ssl (port 80) on those ip addresses. You would go into Key Manager, install the cert, then set the bindings on this cert. You can specify any open ip address. If you use one that has a cert on it already, it will tell you that that ip address has already been assigned to another cert. That is it. If you require any further information, please post it here or email me. Thank you
