Has anyone managed to get Internet Site documents working with IHS and SSL?

Been trying to configure IHS to work with SSL and internet site documents.

Unfortunately, as best I can figure out, the process is not documented and the ONLY mention of the subject anywhere seems to be a PowerPoint presentation from 2013:

Implementing TLS support with IBM Domino 9.x and IBM HTTP Server (IHS)

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27039743&aid=1

 

I can get it to work just fine for the base URL, but cannot get internet site documents to be recognized in HTTPS.  I've tried duplicating the <VirtualHost> entries as shown, but no luck, and can't find any other documentation of the process anywhere.

 

The whole point of going to IHS was that Domino SSL won't support site documents.

IHS / SSL concern
Hello

You can look into this technote:

Lotus Software Knowledge Base Document

Title:        Is it possible to run IBM HTTP Server (IHS) on the same computer as a Domino server?
Doc #:        1612316
URL:        http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21612316

Can I know what is the purpose of IHS for your Domino? Since Domino can now support TLS even without IHS we have this technote below:

Lotus Software Knowledge Base Document

Title:        What are IBM's plans surrounding IBM HTTP Server (IHS) support in Domino?
Doc #:        1697303
URL:        http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21697303

Nope

The purpose was attempting to implement SSL using Internet Site documents.  Native Domino does not recognize Site Documents when using SSL, and I never managed to get IHS to do so while following that technote (which duplicates the presentation I referenced).

 

I ended up mimicking the behavior of Site documents by building my own redirector page.
