Sharepoint 2016 configure SIte Collection SSL

Question

Hope you can help

I have a Sharepoint Web Application with two separate Site Collections.
I have a SSL with two specific SAN's

I want to apply the SSL so that i can access each site collection with a different SAN

How do I do this please

Answer 1

A single Web Application has a single FQDN for all Site Collections (AAMs not withstanding). Unless you're using Host-named Site Collections, all SharePoint sites fall under the same FQDN. I do not recommend using HNSC due to administrative overhead.

Answer 2

Hi @GaryC ,

Firstly, I want to confirm with you whether you are using Path-based Site Collections or Host-named Site Collections under the Web Application?

If you are using Host-named Site Collections, we could configure (SAN) certificate with a host-named site collection URL format that matches that certificate:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/administration/host-named-site-collection-architecture-and-deployment#configure-ssl-certificates-for-host-named-site-collections

If you are using Path-based Site Collections, as trevor said, the site collections share the same FQDN under a Web Application, so it’s not supported.

I hope this information has been useful, please let me know if you still need assistance.
