[TriLUG] Apache SSL Questions/Help

[Steve Kuekes]

I have some questions regarding apache ssl setup.....  I know there is someone out there that has 
done this before....

I have a Linux system that is on the internet using a local hosting company.  On this site I run 
multiple named virutal hosts using apache.  I need to have some of the sites use https so that I can 
collect confidential information.

My questions are....

1.  Can I get certificates for free from somewhere or do I have to buy one from someone, like 
godaddy or verisign?
2.  Can I have multiple certificates on the server for different virtual hosts?
3.  If I can't is there a setup that will allow me to share the certificate somehow?
4.  I might have to use this with a tomcat server using proxypass, can I do this too?

There's probably something else that I have forgot to ask about this too, just tell me.
