SSL on Control Panel

[ChrisO@]

How do I Secure the Contol Panel with a SSL. I have added a SSL linked to one of my domains and selected it to "secure Control panel" which works when I go to https://securedomain:8443 but my clients all use https://clientdomain:8443. Is there a way to secure all request to my server over PORT 8443?

if you are using https, it is secure, what is your question?
are you tryinh to get rid of the error message because its a plesk cert?

 

[ChrisO@]

Yes, I want to remove the Red Bar in the Adress Bar and get rid of the Warning message.

Hi,

As i know SSL certificates are issued for one domain name and there is no way to avoid this.

 

[ChrisO@]

Surely there must be a way to se secure the entire control panel?

the control panel is secure, as is!!
the message is merley an anoyance, th eonly way to remove the message is to use a real cert, that will cost you money, and then the user will have to use the url for the site with the cert, if customers want to suse thierdomain:8443, and not see the message, they also will need a cert.

it is real a waste of time and money in general to remove the warning message, the site is still as secure without the warning messgae, no worries in the secruity dept as is..
cheapest and easiest is to secure your hosting site domina, as you would likely need it anyway, and then tell users to use yourdomain:8443 as the plesk entry point

those are your options

ssl

or get a wildcard certificate

How does a wild card SSL work?

 

[henry@]

Forget it, the wild ssl would only work for all your subdomains I think it will not work without the security allert on any other domains.
