I'm having trouble installing a SSL certificate on a subdomain within Plesk 10.
I don't seem to have an option to add the SSL certificate to a subdomain only. If i add the cert to the base domain will the subdomain share the same certificate?
Has anyone managed to install a cert on a subdomain using plesk 10?
SSL certificates affect all Connections made to the IP it is bound to, there is no way to bind a certificate to a subdomain or a specific folder because the SSL Setup has to be made before the URL is given to the server process.
You either need to use the same SSL certificate for all domains on your server or you need a new IP and use it only for the subdomain that needs to be protected. (I believe there was a SSL Configuration Link in IP management or something...)
Multiple Certificates on a single IP is now possible using SNI:

The main site/domain is on Hosting provider A and uses Let’s Encrypt SSL.
Site 2 is using subdomain and is on Hosting provider B. This host uses Sectigo auto SSL.
We have an API call from main site to subdomain site that appears to be failing from SSL error.
Both sites run just fine with the SSL they have, only the API call fails (from main site to subdomain site).
Do the SSL Certificate need to be from the same provider (I.e Let’s Encrypt)? Or is there a way to have the current config work for the API call?
Modification for clarity: The error the API call gets is CURL error: SSL error no alternative certificate subject name matches.
we have had our firewall providers install an SSL certificate on the firewall and if we put an SSL certificate on the server ( website ) then will it conflict or it will run fine ?
Any advise on this will be highly appreciated.
So how SSL works is probably not what you expect, according to your description there will be two distinct connections, from the user to the firewall and from the firewall to the webserver.
From the user point of view, only the firewall certificate matters, it will be this one used to crypt the data.
If you activate ssl on the webserver and add a certificate, the only one seeing this certificate will be the firewall, so it has to be valid for the firewall client itself (if the firewall doesn't know the authority which signed the certificate, you'll have a validation problem if you don't add this authority certificate into the firewall certificate store).
Mostly in this case your firewall act as a reverse proxy, doing the user's SSL termination and initiating another SSL session between itself and the webserver.
In bad ascii art this may be shown like this:
user <--using firewall's cert--> Firewall <--using server's cert--> webserver
I have my domain which has SSL enabled, now I have configured some port on that same domain.
I want to know how can I add more port into that existing SSL cert file.
I have hosted site on Dreamhost, but as I configured custom port they refuse to help.
I want to know how can I add more port into that existing SSL cert file.
The certificate contains only the host name. It is independent of the port, so you could use it for any port on this host. Of course you still need to configure your web server to actually listen on this port with SSL, but this would be different question.
I want to connect to an https host using PHP cURL, but I don't want to use the certificate returned by the host or its CA path.
As I have the certificate locally, I'd like to use the local file instead of the certificate returned by the host and not rely on the CAs.
I’ve studied and searched and tried a number of things, but nothing is working except the normal default path, which gets the certificate from the host and follows the CA path.
Changing the existing host certificate is not an option.
I'm not sure if I understand you. Either I got your question wrong or you have a fundamental misunderstanding regarding SSL.
You have to use the host's certificate (which is a public key), otherwise the host won't understand what you're sending.
I successful configured a self signed SSL certificate and configure it in the MAMP server, now if i type https://localhost:443/ it will show the certificate, now i would like to configure a httpsdocs (like htdocs) and implement a secure login, can any one help me to run a simple page using SSL
we can create a htdocs_ssl(by default, this will be the folder name apache searching for https pages) folder for putting our https page ,
thank you all for your support
