Answer 1

Hello Chaitanya Albur,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Yes, it is possible to bind two SSL certificates to two distinct domain names in IIS Server on Windows Server 2012. Here are the steps and considerations to achieve this configuration:

1. Install the SSL Certificates:

• Ensure both SSL certificates are installed on the server. You can do this through the IIS Manager by navigating to Server Certificates and importing the certificates.

2. Add Site Bindings:

• Open IIS Manager.

• Select the first site you want to configure.

• In the Actions pane, click on Bindings.

• Click Add to create a new binding.

• Set the Type to https.

• Enter the IP address and port (usually 443).

• Select the appropriate SSL certificate from the SSL certificate dropdown.

• Check the Require Server Name Indication (SNI) box if you are using the same IP address for multiple sites.

• Click OK.

3. Repeat for the Second Site:

• Select the second site in IIS Manager.

• Follow the same steps to add a new binding for the second domain, ensuring you select the correct SSL certificate for this site.
