[Xymon] Fwd: Re: How to handle SSL Cert Clients with same hostname reporting to xymon

[Galen Johnson]

I believe you want something like (I needed to do something similar):

192.168.142.104<http://192.168.142.104/> www4  # testip <http://login.publicdata.com=192.168.142.104/> http://login.publicdata.com=192.168.142.104/ ...

the ssl certs are tied to the hostname of the machine (not apache) apparently.  Also are you talking about the bbhosts file for the config.
I currently the following hosts that need to be changed to login.publicdata.com as they will have the same ssl cert
The current client name is the hostname of the machine.  All four need to be login.publicdata.com.  But if I do that, the certs work but xymon gets very grumpy and quits reporting data for any of them.

Folks,
I have a Godaddy cert that is suppose to work on multiple servers BUT
they must have the same hostname.  If I put the same hostname on the
servers the Cert works but xymon is not happy.  Is there a way to
collect data from 3 different ips that have the same hostname and they
report separately?

I believe the expected config is to have something like:
ssl hostname set foobar.tld.net
hosts foobar01, foobar02, foobar03 .... etc .tld.net
apache/whatever http server you're using  on host foobar01 configured to
set 'ServerName' to foobar.tld.net [just the apache server set to this,
not the whole host] and repeated through the rest of your complex.
