How to add a wildcard or multi-domain SSL certificate
Posted 2011-07-21 13:17 by andreychek
This tutorial covers how to add a wildcard or multi-domain SSL certificate to multiple Virtual servers.
You will need an IP address dedicated to this purpose -- you can obtain IP addresses from the ISP hosting your server.
This tutorial assumes you have first logged into Virtualmin.
-
Click 'Addresses and Networking' -> 'Shared IP Addresses'.
-
Enter the IP address for this new SSL certificate in the 'Shared addresses for any servers ' field.
-
Click 'Allocate a new shared IP address'.
-
Click 'Save'.
-
Choose the domain for which you would like to add the SSL Certificate. You can do that by selecting the domain name from the drop-down box on the top-left.
-
Click 'Server Configuration' -> 'Change IP Address'.
-
Select the new IP address you added from the 'Shared Address' dropdown list.
-
Click 'Change now'.
-
Click

. -
Click

. -
Check the 'SSL website enabled?' checkbox.
-

.At this point, you have a self-signed SSL Certificate. That means your communications are secured, but since this certificate wasn't generated by a certificate authority, your users will receive a security warning every time they access the site.
It's recommended that you get a commercial certificate -- the following steps detail how to obtain and install one.
