    Default How to setup a shared SSL?

    Does anyone know how to setup a shared SSL in WHM?

    I have the 128-bit SSL itself already. How would I share it among several domains?

    That shows nothing about shared SSL. Please explain if I'm missing something

    The SSL certificate itself is not shared at install, once you've installed a regular ssl certificate, you can share it, through aliasing/rewrite/redirection/userdir tricks. But nothing about the certificate itself is shared. You just use a regular ssl certificate to share contents that belong to other web hosts on the same machine.

    Just my two cents.

    Yes I know the SSL itself is not shared. My question was how do I setup SSL to be shared like the methods you mentioned.

    I want to use some IP method to share the SSL. How do I do this?

    Well, to disguise instead of using my actual domain or having to register another domain for the other users who will use the shared SSL.

    I never setup an ssl to be shared so I am asking for assistance

    I'm pretty sure I don't understand you right, since the exact point of ssl is certifiying that an actual domain is the server that was registered for this one domain, disguising is something that SSL is supposed to PREVENT.
    If you share your ssl, everyone is supposed to be able to see your domain in the certificate itself, that's a design goal and a design feature of SSL itself, SSL is meant to prevent your users from pretending to be you(so they can get sued instead of you if someone's money gets stolen).
    How well it can be done in a world of clueless users is debatable, but the original design goals remain.
    You can share an ssl with
    https://yourdomain.com/~user/
    using the cpanel userdir tweak
    or like I do, with mod_rewrite rewrite rules as
    https://yourdomain.com/otherdomain.com/user/
    But there is no disguising. If it was possible, visa, MC, ebay and hotmail would be working on a new standard as we speak.

    You can use document that i told you. Yes, you must do it manually from SSH for every domain.

    After that edit httpd.conf and add below code for every domain you add between
    <IfDefine SSL> and </IfDefine SSL> :

    Change sharedIPhere with your shared IP and the exact location of your Cert File.

    Code:
    <VirtualHost sharedIPhere:443>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.com
    DocumentRoot /home/domain/public_html
    BytesLog domlogs/domain.com-bytes_log
    ServerName www.domain.com
    CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/domain.com-ssl_log "%t %{version}c %{cipher}c %{clientcert}c"
    User domain
    Group domain
    <IfModule mod_userdir.c>
    Userdir disabled
    Userdir enabled domain
    </IfModule>
    SSLEnable
    SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/apache/keys/domain.com.cert
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/apache/keys/domain.com.key
    SSLLogFile /var/log/domain.com
    UserDir public_html
    ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/domain/public_html/cgi-bin/
    SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
    </VirtualHost>
    I hope this can help you
    It's me ...... It's me ......
