Akk, I found the answer to my question. If anyone else cares, it is possible for an SSL certificate with a name like www.mydomain.com to work on many sites with the .mydomain.com extension. However, the user's browser will warn the user that the domain name doesn't match the common name in the certificate.
It is possible to get a *.mydomain.com certificate, on a "case-by-case" basis according to Verisign. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Garza, Jeff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2001 10:29 AM Subject: RE: SSL > I believe that it's only valid for one FQDN. > > Jeff Garza > Lead Developer/Webmaster > Spectrum Astro, Inc. > 480.892.8200 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.spectrumastro.com > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Kwang Suh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2001 10:23 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: OT: SSL > > > Sorry for the OT question: > > Is one SSL certificate valid for one whole domain, or is it valid only > for one fully qualified domain name? > > i.e., is it valid for *.mydomain.com, or only mysite.mydomain.com? > > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your ad could be here.
