ssl - Reusing certificates -


i have website (public facing) , message queue (internal only) on same server. traffic both on ssl. there reason why not use same certificate run both site , mq?

there might restrictions dns names used in certificates. public website uses certificate cn=somedomain.org internal mq have certificate cn=myinternalserver.local. according ca browser forum publicly trusted ca (that distributed browsers default) can not issue certificate on dns name.

another reason don't want reveal mq service world , therefore issue 2 different certificates. has advantage. if private key websites uses stolen (like in heartbleed attack if remember correctly) have revoke , make new certificate (and private key) website. mq unaffected because not public.

but imho in general can reuse same certificate if can secure private key (i.e. stored in hsm).
