Abstract

A method, system, and apparatus are directed towards dynamically managing certificates for a virtual host server. A certificate may be uniquely associated with each of the websites hosted on the virtual host. In one embodiment, the certificate is an X.509 certificate. Also, the certificate may be managed by a network device residing between a client and the virtual host server. When the client that is browsing one of the hosted websites, the network device may store a persistence record that maps client information to the hosted website. The client may employ an SSL protocol to establish a secure connection. When a certificate associated with the hosted website is to be provided, the network device uses the persistence record to determine which hosted website the client was browsing, selects, and provides the appropriate certificate to the client.
