Multiple certificates for unreal ?

Post by CrazyCat »

Hi there,

My network will change of name in a few monthes, and I want to have a transitionnal period with the two domains available to let users come with domain1.tld and domain2.tld.
Is it possible to have the two certificates or must I create a global certificate with the 2 domains ?

Thanks by advance

After re-reading the documentation, I'll probably try to use SNI, and if it doesn't work I'll made a certificate with the 2 domains.

Yes exactly. Both options are possible :)

At work for these situations I usually go for multi domain certificates, so one certificate with both hostnames/domains listed. For paid certs it usually only costs like $10 per extra hostname. And for free Let's Encrypt it is usually just adding an extra option for each domain. I have also used SNI once but it is less commonly used and a bit more fragile. (Oh and I am talking about non-IRC usage but rather apache/nginx, but it is the same principle, of course)
