Bug#414855: wildcard cert not working in apache 2.2
Package: apache2
Version: 2.2.3-3.3
a wildcard SSL certificate (for *.chemistry.unimelb.edu.au) that works
fine in apache 2.0.49 on a SUSE server, doesn't work in apache 2.2.3
on debian. (i'm building a pair of debian etch boxes as an LVS
load-balanced replacement for our SUSE web server box, and am currently
deep in the compatibility-testing stage of the migration).
the error message is:
[Wed Mar 14 14:56:55 2007] [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN)
`*.chemistry.unimelb.edu.au' does NOT match server name!?
the domain name in this case is 'it.chemistry.unimelb.edu.au', which
does match the wildcard cert.
i tried googling for similar problems and found this:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-cvs&m=114017665119886&w=2
which mentions a patch for apache 2.3 which fixes a similar sounding
problem:
+ *) mod_ssl: Fix spurious hostname mismatch warning for valid
+ wildcard certificates. PR 37911. [Nick Burch <nick torchbox.com>]
the date of that patch is 2006-02-17 - has it been backported to
apache2.2 yet?
