[jadmin] Jabber2 virtual hosting with ssl problem

Hello,

I have got jabberd2 up and running with multiple virtual hosts. This all 
runs fine. Now i'm trying to secure the server with ssl. I found out that 
you can only add one ssl certificate. This is a problem because now all 
domains (except one) gives an ssl error that the ssl certificate doesn't 
matches the domain.

Now i read something about wildcard ssl certificates. But when i create a 
self-signed wildcard certificate by just putting *.domain.com in the CN this 
doesn't solve the problem. (i use openssl)

Has someone experience with wildcard ssl certificates within jabberd2? or 
does someone know any other solutions to solve this problem?

Other solution where i was thinking about was the following:

jabber-client --ssl--> proxy --non-ssl--> jabber server.

But as far as i could find out there is no client which can handle ssl 
towards a proxy (also no browser supports this).

What i am trying to accomplish is that the jabber server with multiple 
domains is securely reachable from the internet.

Hope someone can help me out.

Regards,
Oliver
