How to use SSL and Host Headers
SSL Host Headers? Does it really exist?
Yes however somewhat tricky.
- You need to have a Wildcard or *.domain.com SSL certificate.
- Your domains need to be all sub-domains of the wild card domain
- You just can’t do it using the IIS inetmgr user interface.
In short, to add an SSL host header, run the following:
cscript.exe adsutil.vbs SET /w3svc/<site identifier>/SecureBindings “:443:<host header>“
To get the site identifier you can run the following:
cscript.exe adsutil.vbs ENUM Path “/P”
