Archived from groups: microsoft>public>dotnet>framework>aspnet, others (more info?)
I have a bunch of Web sites on a production server that is completely under
my administrative control. Each Web site has a login page. I want to use
HTTPS (ssl) for the login page only so that the user's credentials can be
secured in transmission. Standard stuff here.

My question:
I don't want to have to purchase a SSL certificate for each Web site. That
seems like a lot of money for the little that I want to be securing. I don't
want to cheat "The Man" so I hope I'm not asking for something unethical
here. Just wondering how I can use one SSL certificate and provide secure
authentication for all the Web sites on the server.

FWIW, this is a Windows 2003 Server (Standard Edition) on the Internet. .NET
Framework 1.1, and all sites are ASP.NET Web applications.

Thanks!

There might be another option. It seems to me that you can get a
single certificate from verisign that will serve multiple virtual
servers on the same box as long as they are have the same domain.
I've never gone throught the process, but I'm quite sure it is an
option.

Hello,

If you're looking for a less expensive certificate solution, I
recommend XRamp. I use XRamp web server certificates and have a
digital ID from them and the process was quick and inexpensive.

If each of your websites are a subdomain of one domain, you might
consider using a single wildcard certificate to secure all of the
subdomains. But even if you have separate domains for each website,
XRamp is much less expensive than paying for a name like Verisign and
you get the same product.

XRamp is certainly cheaper than Verisign - thanks for the tip - they are
also not as cheap as GoDaddy.com for certificates.... I just got one for
$30/year after signing up also for a new domain name. You won't see that
price advertised (I didn't, anyway); but after I registered a new .com
domain name they allowed me to purchase "additional stuff" within the next
30 minutes at a huge discount. That's where I got the ssl for $30. Even if
you just go in and buy it outright (without the domain name first like I
did), they still beat XRamp by a bunch.

-HTH
