Question re SSL

Very informative, thanks.

Question - since a parent portal uses the same IIS site as the host portal, while being accessed through a different hostname, how is it possible to have the parent portal accessed using an SSL certificate? IIS only allows one certificate to be bound to each site, no?

It is possible to run multiple sites/portals in a single IIS site using a single SSL wildcard certificate under certain conditions.

The restrictions are that the sites can only work using host headers (so no visits by IP address) and you have to use a wildcard certificate where all the sites must validate under that certificate.
