I have an SSL certificate for my domain, let's call it example.com
.
Also I have another domain, let's call it example.net
When I get HTTPS requests for domain example.net
it fails but example.com
it works. I want to redirect HTTPS requests for example.net
to https://example.com
.
Notice: they are both hosted on the same server (Ubuntu 14.04 – Apache 2.4). I tried a CNAME record for example.net to redirect it to example.com but also fails (my browser tell's me that the certificate is vaild only for example.com
).
So what to do? Do I have to get another SSL certificate for example.net
?

If you want both sites to support HTTPS, including a mere redirect, you need both to have valid certificates.
There is no way to bypass this as it is part of the well-thought mechanism that protects the user from being led to the wrong site.
