SSL Implementation

[Marco4497]

Hi,

I'm making up a plan to implement SSL in my DA box. This is my current setup:

- Server's hostname is server.domain.com
- I've created an additional Useraccount with domain.com as its primary domain

Now I'm planning to order an SSL Certificate for 'www.domain.com'. (no wildcard)

My question is: once i've configured this in DirectAdmin, can i do the following?
- Access DA via https://www.domain.com:2222
- Access Dovecot/Exim on Secure ports over SSL
- Access webmail via https://www.domain.com/webmail
- Access https://www.domain.com (looking at the content in the Useraccount)

I'm not sure if I either need one or two Certificates for the set-up as mentioned above.

Once I enable IPv6 on my Server, does this affect the SSL Certificate?

Well you need to install the www cert as serverwide certificate since exim/dovecot need that and you need to set the same cert on DirectAdmin.

Once done, you set the same on DirectAdmin for the website.

Keep in mind that every other domain that enable/try-to-use ssl will receive the error that host missmatch the ssl cert.

The IPv6 should not change things...

Thanks for the help! I installed the Certificate and everything is working fine.

I added ssl_redirect_host option to directadmin.conf. As soon as someone tries to access http://www.otherdomain.com:2222, he is automatically redirected to https://www.domain.com:2222. (where domain.com is my SSL enabled domain)
