SSL certificate Question

[Riddleonto]

Hi

I have a technical question about SSL certificates. We currently run multiple websites on different ports that point to different servers. We now need to have the data encrypted so we need to install an SSL certificate.

Now would a wildcard SSL certificate be able to be installed on multiple servers and also cover the different ports?

If not could we assign multiple sub domains to the same external IP which would then have different ports going to the different ports?

Also would port forwarding break the SSL certificate?

Many thanks in advance

Hi

Thanks for that. If I port forward to different port so 8081 to 8082 or use anything else but 443 will it break the SSL certificate?

It shouldn't do, SSL certificates are bound to a IP not a port.
