Topic: SSL Certificates

[Max]

I am looking into purchasing an SSL certificate, probably from thawte.com
I see that I can get a certificate for www.example.com or for example.com but either way, if someone types in the other name then they get a message about the certificate not matching the server name.

Does one solve this by having httpd redirect the requests or rewrite the url or something so that all requests end up being for only one version of the site name? or does one buy two certificates?

If anyone has any good info or even links to guides about this topic I would be grateful. Thanks.

get certificates   secure.example.com and www.example.com
for site www.example.com

then restart your httpd

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

then it should work

you don't have to redirect
hope this helps
