Re: SSL and public facing web site on the i

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, Nathan.  That is how it assigns it is because that certificate is
given a "name".  Then in the Apache config you use that name to set up the
relation between that web server instance and the proper SSL certificate.

I never used the web app to set those things up (except to import and give
it a name).  I did it all be hand as far as the HTTP configuration went.  I
didn't like all the extra things the web interface would put into my config
files.
