Hi all,
Has anyone installed an SSL certificate on a BOA website eg for a shop? There are some instructions here for installing an SSL cert on nginx but I wonder if BOA will diverge from this eg at steps five and six where it mentions /etc/nginx/sites-available. Any ideas please??

Have you read the docs on the Barracuda drupalcode project link below may be a good start.

@ jamiet thanks but isn't that link a different subject = "How to use multiple IPs on your server" ?
SSL
That's because typically you'll want to add at least one extra IP address.
See this discussion.
So (as far as I understand) you can either replace BOA's built-in wildcard certificate and use that for everything, or add an extra IP address and configure another local proxy for it following the recipe.

To get SSL to work you need to follow the documentation exactly as written at http://drupalcode.org/project/barracuda.git/blob/HEAD:/docs/SSL.txt. Don't do as I did and over-think it or assume you know better. When I followed the documentation it worked as expected. I guess that's why it's there.

@ ar-jan and JimSmith ok
@ ar-jan and JimSmith ok thanks. I am thinking of hosting on Digital Ocean for now and they do not allow multiple IPs on the same server. So I think for now (ie not meant to be ideal or permanent) I will use the second method mentioned by Omega8cc said in ar-jan's link above:
If so are there any instructions out there for this? Going back to the link I mentioned in my first post above do I still need to go through the steps of creating the new certificate before I replace the existing BOA certificate?
Thanks...
