[EP-tech] HTTPS multiple archives

[John Salter]

Hi Jimmy,

I think you need one of the following:
a) Two IP addresses - one for each site - signed with 'traditional' certificates
b) Two sub-domains e.g. aaa.domain.com and bbb.domain.com - signed with a wildcard certificate for *.domain.com
c) A certificate that uses SNI (Server Name Indication), which lists each of the domains used.

We use option c, and have config as below - which reference a certificate that has both domains as Subject Alternate Names.
The 'Lets Encrypt' service is useful here - especially on dev/staging machines. See: https://wiki.eprints.org/w/Setting_up_HTTPS_using_Let%27s_Encrypt 

Let me know how you get on!
Cheers,
John

<VirtualHost *:443>
  ServerName aaa.domain.com
  ServerAdmin J.Salter at leeds.ac.uk
... 

  ## SSL directives
  SSLEngine on
  SSLCertificateFile      "/path/to/certificate.cert"
  SSLCertificateKeyFile   "/path/to/key.key"
  SSLCertificateChainFile "/path/to/chain.crt"
  SSLCACertificatePath    "/path/to/cert"
  SSLProtocol             #options as required

<Location "">
  PerlSetVar EPrints_ArchiveID ARCHIVEID_AAA
  PerlSetVar EPrints_Secure yes
  Options +ExecCGI
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Location>
PerlTransHandler +EPrints::Apache::Rewrite
</VirtualHost>

For the second domain

<VirtualHost *:443>
  ServerName bbb.domain.com

### all the same stuff as above - SSL directives etc.

<Location "">
  PerlSetVar EPrints_ArchiveID ARCHIVEID_BBB
  PerlSetVar EPrints_Secure yes
  Options +ExecCGI
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Location>
PerlTransHandler +EPrints::Apache::Rewrite
</VirtualHost>

Can you post your config? Anyway, multiple https on the same apache means you've to use different ip because of the certificate.
