I have a need to secure a portion of a site - the "admin" control panel. I need to use client certificates to secure the sub domain. So that anyone that goes to the site without the certificate installed in their browser will be dumped by apache. Is this possible to do with a stock DA install? If not (which Im sure will be the case), any one got any suggestions. Ive tried a few things but with no luck and dont want to start coding something thats already been done. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Hello,

If you have multiple IPs, then move "admin" to his own
"owned" IP:
Reseller Level -> Lis Users -> modify your own user data -> select the Free IP and hit save.

If you only have 1 IP address, then put the certificate and key into:
/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt
/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key
to set the certificate as the shared server certificate.

More general info on how it works:
