Hello,
I'm looking for some guidance on configuring more than one website, SSL and certificates.
I have a one website running on port 443 with a cert but would like to setup webmail for access via https.
I cannot see a way of doing this but it must have been done before.
I have heard of SSL Certificate sharing, what is this ?
Cheers,
Max

Hi,
SSL is IP based, if you want to share one certificate between multiple web site on the same IP address, you'll need to obtain a wildcard certificate. For the detailed information, you can refer to:

Hello Leo,
I currently have an SSL cert which relates only to my website - which is great works great etc.
If I get a wildcard SSL for my webmail etc, the two SSL certs and IP address can co-exist ?

If you have two IP address, then they can co-exist regardless wildcard or not. Two SSL certs can't co-exist on the same IP address.
