apache - SSL Certificate Mismatch in IE 7+, OK in Firefox 3.6+ -


We have site www.name1.domain.com for which we have successfully created and implemented an SSL certificate. We then added another site, www.name2.domain.com, and looking at some weird behavior in IE7 and IE8 (surprisingly!).

Actually, IE 7,8 we report the mismatch of the host name when we go to serve me. When I add and view this certificate in IE for this domain, the host name is incorrect, but it is related to the old host name, that is, www.name1.domain.com.

This is not the issue in Firefox, and raises the right hostname www.name2.domain.com for the second site without the problem.

Any ideas why IE is wrong (for different people (-):

Thanks!

Your problem is that Internet Explorer (and possibly other software) on Windows XP SNI is not enabled.

I 've settled in the same problem - basically Firefox and chrome are fine and get the correct certificate, but there is no Internet Explorer. Then I saw a bit of it and wikipedia Other things have been seen with:

TLS server names support for browsers [7] Internet Explorer 7 or later, on Windows Vista or higher. Also does not work on Windows XP , Even Internet Explorer 8.

Then, your Apache / OpenSSL Combo SNi is enabled and can do this, but Windows XP is not.

My solution is that I initiated the primary subdomain in virtualhost configuration I am putting, and at least the lesser customers have less clarity about why it goes fashion. I do not know that this will work for you though.
