SSL certificate
Hi guys.
I have some questions about ssl certificates.
I looked at SSL providers and saw that they are providing 2 types of certificates: per server or per domain.
my server host name is: srv1.example.com
I have a smtp, imap, web server on this box. but all services accessed by different FQDN:
smtp.example.com
imap.example.com
webmail.example.com
1. I have a single certificate(per server). can i use that for multiple services on a single machine? for example web server and mail server.
2. when creating certificate request it asks me the host name. can i use "smtp.example.com" instead of "srv1.example.com"?

ssl_ctx_add_extra_chain_cert
SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert(3) OpenSSL SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert(3)
NAME
SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert - add certificate to chain
LIBRARY
libcrypto, -lcrypto
SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
long SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert(SSL_CTX ctx, X509 *x509)
DESCRIPTION
SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert() adds the certificate x509 to the certificate chain presented together with the certificate. Several
certificates can be added one after the other.
NOTES
When constructing the certificate chain, the chain will be formed from these certificates explicitly specified. If no chain is specified,
the library will try to complete the chain from the available CA certificates in the trusted CA storage, see
SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(3).
The x509 certificate provided to SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert() will be freed by the library when the SSL_CTX is destroyed. An application
should not free the x509 object.
RESTRICTIONS
Only one set of extra chain certificates can be specified per SSL_CTX structure. Different chains for different certificates (for example
if both RSA and DSA certificates are specified by the same server) or different SSL structures with the same parent SSL_CTX cannot be
specified using this function.
RETURN VALUES
SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert() returns 1 on success. Check out the error stack to find out the reason for failure otherwise.
