Has anyone tried using a Multiple Domains Certificate on Drupal / Ubercart install? I have a multi domain drupal install with 3 different ubercart stores, but can only SSL the primary domain with Verisign. I need a solution to SSL all of the ubercart stores.
I did some research and found out that GoDaddy has a Multiple Domains Certificate, but am wondering if anyone else has verified that it works.
www.pricewine.com - primary domain (secured)
www.mendocinowinery.com - secondary domain
www.pasowinery.com - secondary domain
any thoughts, ideas or services would be helpful, thanks.

Yes, a multiple domain
Yes, a multiple domain certificate will definitely work. I recommend getting a wildcard certificate instead, though. That way you can use SSL on new subdomains you create and use in the future, including mail servers, Subversion repositories, development and staging sites, etc.
As far as I know, StartSSL sells the least expensive certificates. They now work in all major browsers and the simple, single domain certificates are even free. Ars Technica recently published an intro and how-to about how StartSSL certificates work.
Good luck on your sites, and, if you're in the area, I hope to see you at the next Santa Barbara meetup!

a wildcard certificate only
a wildcard certificate only works for sub domains, if you're using different domain names the only solution AFAIK is to use different IP adresses for each domain or a different port for each domain

A wildcard certificate won't
A wildcard certificate won't work to secure multiple different base domains like you require. You would need to either get 3 different certificates and 3 different IP addresses or get a SAN certificate that can include all the names in one certificate. I don't think VeriSign offers those types of certificates.
question - did you try a multi-domain SSL solution?
I have the same issue and would like to know if you found a satisfactory solution without different ip/port settings - none of the replies seemed to get the multi-domain requirement.
The multiple domain
The multiple domain certificates (also called UCC certificates) are more expensive but will definitely work. It may be more cost-effective but less convenient to get a separate certificate for each domain.

does this multiple domain
does this multiple domain certificates (also called UCC certificates) still need a separate IP for each domain?
