SSL Cert for 2nd domain name

JD1995

Hello all,

A client has recently gotten a backup ISP and they want to set up a domain name to point to it called "vpn1.example.com". They currently have "vpn.example.com" set up with a cert and all is well. Someone said I need to get a multi-domain cert because the Sonicwall can really only use a single cert for this purpose. That doesn't sound right to me, but even if it is I am worried that I might mess up the current working cert that is in place.

They use an SMA 500v.

Anyone know the best way to do this without causing issues?

Hi @JD1995

you could either use a wildcard certificate *.example.com or a MDC with multiple SANs (vpn.example.com and vpn1.example.com), on the long run I always went better with a wildcard to cover multiple portals.

If you wanna stick with a single host certificates you need to create a 2nd portal with the dedicated Virtual Host name.

On the SMA you can have plenty of certifcates, only the Firewall is limited to a single one.
