Separate SSL certificate selection from virtual host configuration in apache

Currently, my apache configuration includes one SSL certificate (with all domains listed as Alternative Subject Names). I furthermore have one virtual host configuration per domain that serves both SSL and non-SSL requests. All this happens on one public IP.

I’d like to switch to multiple SSL certificates, one per domain, using Subject Name Indication. I know it is possible if I duplicate all vhost configuration entries, once for port 80 and once for port 443 with SSL (as already discussed on SF).

But I would rather have something that resembles my current setup, with these features:

• All SSL related configuration in one place. In the best case a statement telling apache „Use all SSL certificates in this directory, and for each HTTP request, pick the right one based on the SNI information“


• Virtual host configuration non-duplicated and with no special mention of SSL at all.


• Possibility to server many domain names with one virtual host configuration, while still having separate certificates for each.

Is that possible?
