Just a guess. SSL doesnt work with name based virtual hosting. Using * instead of _default_ explicitly tries to use the namevirtualhost IP addresses which is quite confusing.

Hmm.. let me try that.


frodo:~$  grep _default_ hserus.net.conf
<VirtualHost _default_:443>

[tries again]

Nope, https://webmail.hserus.net doesn't work, http:// does.

::ffff:204.74.68.40 - - [11/Dec/2003:17:50:42 +0530] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 4061 "-" "Lynx/2.8.5dev.16 libwww-FM/2.14 SSL-MM/1.4.1 OpenSSL/0.9.7a"
2001:470:1f00:ffff::1241 - - [11/Dec/2003:17:50:47 +0530] "\x80\x82\x01\x03\x01" 403 - "-" "-"
2001:470:1f00:ffff::1241 - - [11/Dec/2003:17:50:47 +0530] "\x80\x82\x01\x03" 403 - "-" "-"




According to the manual:
"When using IP-based virtual hosting, the special name _default_ can be specified in which case this virtual host will match any IP address that is not explicitly listed in another virtual host.In the absence of any _default_ virtual host the "main" server config, consisting of all those definitions outside any VirtualHost section, is used when no IP-match occurs. (But note that any IP address that matches a NameVirtualHost directive will use neither the "main" server config nor the _default_ virtual host. "


The _default_:443 virtualhost entry that you presently have should be removed if you want the SSL cert to be used for all the IP addresses. Instead the *:443 virtualhost entry should be replaced with a _default_:443 virtualhost entry.

In any case, browser clients will display a warning message when any hostname other than the one used to create the cert is used to access the HTTPS server.
