apache 2.2 - Single domain SSL presented for all domains on Shared IP




I have a VPS running Apache/2.2.22 on Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS.




I have successfully installed an SSL for domaina.com



Unfortunately if I visit https://domainb.com, https://domainc.com, etc… I am presented with certificate warnings as each domain is presenting domaina.com certificate.



How can I stop this?



Can I stop Apache sending the certificate for all sites sharing the same IP.
Can I block port :443 access using ufw for a domain name?
Something else?




Domain A configuration




    ServerName   domaina.com
    ServerAlias  www.domaina.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/domaina.com/public



    ServerName   domaina.com

    ServerAlias  www.domaina.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/domaina.com/public
    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile      /etc/apache2/ssl/domaina.com.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile   /etc/apache2/ssl/domaina.key
    SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/domaina.com.ca-bundle





Domain B, C… configuration




    ServerName   domainb.com
    ServerAlias  www.domainb.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/domainb.com/public



Errors experienced




Browsing using Mac OS X Mountain Lion, latest version of Chrome, Safari, Firefox.



Chrome — This is probably not the site you are looking for! You attempted to reach www.domainb.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as www.domaina.com.



Firefox — This Connection is Untrusted. You have asked Firefox to connect securely to www.domainb.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.



Safari — Safari can't verify the identity of the website "www.domainb.com".


Answer



This is expected behavior. You have a couple options here - you can either use Subject Alternative Names in your SSL cert and serve the names for the other domains, you can get a new IP for the other domains, or you can force the other domains to be non-SSL. The last might not work very well, as you will likely end up using an Apache rewrite rule, which may only be recognized after the browser presents it's certificate warning.

linux - iDRAC6 Virtual Media native library cannot be loaded

When attempting to mount Virtual Media on a iDRAC6 IP KVM session I get the following error: I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and: $ javaws -version Java(TM) Web Start 1.6.0_16 $ uname -a Linux aud22419-linux 2.6.28-15-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 13:39:06 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ firefox -version Mozilla Firefox 3.0.14, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org On Windows + IE it (unsurprisingly) works. I've just gotten off the phone with the Dell tech support and I was told it is known to work on Linux + Firefox, albeit Ubuntu is not supported (by Dell, that is). Has anyone out there managed to mount virtual media in the same scenario?

ubuntu - Monitoring CPU, Mem, disk, on a single server

I've been looking for a simple starter solution for monitoring my [currently] single server hosted solution. Other than Nagios and similar, are there other good (simple) solutions people are using? Answer Everything depends on what you want. For example Munin is very simple, you can install and configure it in less then 10 minutes (on one server), it can sends alarms, make graphs from monitoring cpu, mem. apache connections, eaccellerator, disk io and many many more (it has many plugins). But if you are planning in future get some more machines, munin may not be enough. For example in munin you cant monitor state of individual processes, can't monitor changes in files (for security purpose). So if you wanna only see what is the utilization of basics parameters on your server and don't plan to buy some more servers Munin is what you are looking for, but if you wanna be alarmed when some of your service is down, take more control on what is happeninig on...

hp proliant - Smart Array P822 with HBA Mode?

We get an HP DL360 G8 with an Smart Array P822 controller. On that controller will come a HP StorageWorks D2700 . Does anybody know, that it is possible to run the Smart Array P822 in HBA mode? I found only information about the P410i, who can run HBA. If this is not supported, what you think about the LSI 9207-8e controller? Will this fit good in that setup? The Hardware we get is used but all original from HP. The StorageWorks has 25 x 900 GB SAS 10K disks. Because the disks are not new I would like to use only 22 for raid6, and the rest for spare (I need to see if the disk count is optimal or not for zfs). It would be nice if I'm not stick to SAS in future. As OS I would like to install debian stretch with zfs 0.71 as file system and software raid. I have see that hp has an page for debian to. I would like to use hba mode because it is recommend, that zfs know at most as possible about the disk, and I'm independent from the raid controller. For us zfs have many benefits, ...
