If your virtual domains are all based on the same abc123.com (.net, .org,
etc.), then you can just use one SSL certificate. If they are different,
(ex. - abc.com and 123.net) then you will need one for each site. Otherwise
anyone hitting those sites will get a certificate error message if the
domains do not match. Which is just a minor incontinence, the link will
still be secure, just the end user hitting the site will have to manually
approve the cert. Hope this helps.

Hiya all,

I need to host multiple SSL sites on my FreeBSD 4.3 box. I am currently
using Apache 1.3 + mod_ssl and am using name based virtual hosts. I don
have a lot of experience with SSL but maybe someone out ther has. 

My question is do I need a seperate digital certificate for each virtual
host? Going by the Verisign documentation it seems so but is not 100%
clear.

Does anyone know there answer for certain?

Thank in advance...
