I want to have subdomains with SSL within my domain. The main difference is that each subdomain is hosted by a different person with a different public key/private key pair.
Let me illustrate with an example:
- User send his public key and requests subdomain from foo.com
- User is added and assigned subdomain bar (bar.foo.com). Users public key is stored for future validation against bar.foo.com
- User goes to bar.foo.com and see's a validated SSL connection.
From what I gather, this means that I need to create a CA, which is fine. The problem is that from what I recall, a CA needs a special sort of SSL Cert. How do I go about getting this?
