SSL certificates and multiple websites

I have one web server housing multiple sites, can I use a single certificate
for all the websites or do I need to apply the SSL certficate(s) to each site
individually? Using the certificate creation wizard, it looks like it makes
them based off a single website? Is there a way to create one SSL cert. and
have all the websites use that?
Thanks in Advance, Tom

Re: SSL certificates and multiple websites

You can create a certificate request using certreq.exe

If all sites are hosts in the same domain, you can create a request for a
wildcard (*.domain.tld) certificate.

If the sites are in multiple domains, then you either need to create a
certificate with the hosts in the subject alternate name fiels, or create
multiple certificate requests.
