Description
The documentation about setting up SSL certificate chains suggests to use the openssl
utility to validate chain correctness:
openssl s_client -connect www.godaddy.com:443
This will work for naive cases, but actually only validates the certificate chain for the default virtual host. I suggest that the documentation should be updated to include a -servername
parameter, which would actually test the correct virtual host:
openssl s_client -connect www.godaddy.com:443 -servername www.godaddy.com
