SSL-enabled Name-based Apache Virtual Hosts with mod_gnutls

Server Name Indication (SNI) is a TLS extension which makes the configuration of SSL-enabled name-based virtual hosts - that is secure virtual hosts which share the same IP address and port - possible. mod_gnutls is a module for Apache’s httpd web server which supports the SNI extension since the release of version 0.2.0 - that was 2+ years ago. This article describes how to implement such secure name-based virtual hosts with mod_gnutls. The test was performed on a server that runs Fedora 7.
