Weird. Especially as Thawte isn't that much cheaper than DigiCert who allows unlimited.

I was just told today that "technically to can't use the wildcard cert on our RDS servers ,we're only licensed for stuff on the F5". Hence, my change from that wildcard to something that makes us legit. From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael B. Smith Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2013 12:37 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [NTSysADM] RE: SSL and RDS servers The cheap (inexpensive) providers only license a wildcard for a single server. Typically the breakeven is at 4 or 5 servers (where you should have paid for a full license). No way to enforce it, of course. But it helps keep the honest people honest and maintain a revenue stream for a less expensive wildcard certificate provider.

I can't understand why you can't use it on multiple servers...I use ours all over the place.

From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Lum Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2013 2:28 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [NTSysADM] SSL and RDS servers Assume two RDS Gateway servers...URL to get to them is https://rdservices.nwea.org. Currently I am using a wildcard cert, but apparently due to how NWEA's wildcard cert is licensed I need to change it to a single host cert. Is there any way to have a cert for rdservices.nwea.org to be legit on two servers? I am fairly cert illiterate so I am not sure of the mechanism a browser uses to match SSL cert with particular host.
