Hello,
i searched the web and this forum, but i didnt find a solution to install more certificates
Actually i installed a SSL for the cPanel login, and want install more ssl certificates using the same IP.

I know that cPanel is not supporting SNI, but i read that is possible to install by manual
but there was no howto.

thank you in advance.

Hello :)

There are currently no supported methods to install more than one certificate per IP address with cPanel. There are limited cases where manual workarounds are available (.e.g. installing a wildcard certificate on multiple domains), however in those cases it's still the same certificate.

Have you considered obtaining additional IP addresses? This would allow you to assign a dedicated IP address to any account that requires a SSL certificate.

Thank you.

hello,
i have limited number of IPs, so ipv4 comes to end of limit and my provider dont give more IPs as RIPE required.
In this case, SNI is useful.
Is this planned to implement in cPanel? because this is very important topic.

There is an existing feature request for SNI at:

SNI Support in cPanel

This includes the following updates from our staff:

We are currently working on an overhaul of our SSL Certificate functionality. These changes will bring improvements for management of "regular" SSL Certificates along with support for SNI and UCC certificates. We hope to have many of these changes available for cPanel & WHM 11.38.
Both improved Wildcard support and SNI should appear Q3/Q4. The other SSL improvements I mentioned should appear Q2/Q3.

SNI can only be used for serving multiple SSL sites from your web server and is not likely to work at all on other daemons, such as mail servers, etc. There are also a small percentage of older web browsers that may still give certificate errors. Wikipedia has an updated list of software that does and does not support this TLS extension.

Here is the procedure for Set up Multi SSL on one IP on Ubuntu 12.04

may be this will help some one who want to setup 2 SSL on one IP
