2 Websites & 2 Certificates on 1 IIS Server

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

Hi,

We currently have 1 Win2000 Standard Server running IIS for 1 website
(www.website1.org). To access www.website1.org, it must use an SSL
connection (https), and website1.org is authenticated with a Verisign
certificate.

We want to add another website (www.website2.org) to the same Server. To
access www.website2.org, we want to use an SSL connection (https), and we
also want www.website2.org be authenticated with a Verisign certificate.

In other words, anyone who types https://www.website1.org or
https://www.website2.org will arrive on the same server.

Can that be done on IIS?
On 1 Win2000 Server, can IIS have 2 websites (www.website1.org and
www.website2.org) with each website having its own Verisign Certificate?

Any help and suggestion will be great.

Thank you
Ibnu

Yes, provided two certs are binding on different IP or ports.

two websites - two ips - two ssl certs.

or two ports (443, 4433)

Hello,

Yes, this can be done on Windows 2000, but you cannot use host headers. You
can use any of these methods:

- By using different IP addresses, but the same port number.
- By using the same IP address, but different port numbers.

For more information, please see:

"HTTP 1.1 Host Headers Are Not Supported When You Use SSL"
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=187504

Hope this answers your question!

Greetings Bernard and Kristofer,

After further reading Microsoft's Article ID 187504, is my understanding
below correct?

1. By using different IP addresses, but the same port number.

If www.website1.org has 77.10.10.1 AND www.website2.org has 77.10.10.2, does
it mean that people can just type https://www.website1.org OR
https://www.website2.org and either connection will automatically use 443
port since each website has different IP Addresses?

2. By using the same IP address, but different port numbers.

If www.website1.org AND www.website2.org have 77.10.10.1, does that mean
that people have to type https://www.website1.org:443 and
https://www.website2.org:4433 to specifically access each site because they
share the same IP Address?

3. What is "host header"?

Best regards,
Ibnu.
