As long as you login using the same host name and domain name then you will still be logged in.  If you are using a shared certificate then this is probably not possible.

If that is true, then wouldnt DNN be limited to one domain per installation, in that case?

No. It is the way the authentication is done. To put it in a very simple way, it saves domain with the fact that user is authenticated and that's how it is checked. So, if you are logged in on https://yoursite.com and then redirected to http://www.yoursite.com, this won't work either. Only identical domains checkout correctly.

You can entertain yourself by navigating to your site, login in on www.yoursite.com and then siwtching to yoursite.com without the www...

The login authentication cookie is saved for separately each host name and domain name on a DNN install.

If you happen to have more than one host name . domain name combination pointing to the same portal and a user switches to a different one then they will be logged out.

This is by design.  The concept of having more than one host name . domain name pointing at a DNN installation is usually to seperate the different portals within one DNN instance, so you can't login to one portal and get access to another.

This is right in line with my opinion about it not being good practice to use a shared SSL certificate for multiple portals or for multiple IIS websites.

Can you recommend what SSL to use, if not a shared SSL certificate, when you are faced with potentially many subdomains at yourdomain.com or need to set up portal aliases for your customer's subdomains or www domain names, ie customersub.customerdomain.com or www.customerdomain.com?

I tried to ask that question here:
