Do wildcard certificates work with all servers and browsers?
Wildcard certs work with (almost) all servers. We don't think WebSTAR/SSL
supports wildcards. We know for a fact that MS IIS does not properly
support wildcard certs. There may be other servers that dislike wildcard
certs. We can't be held responsible if your server refuses a wildcard cert.
Be aware that, officially, MS IE does not support wildcards, however, our
testing suggests that MS IE does not show any warning messages when
connecting to a wildcard certificate.
IE browsers on the Windows 2000 platform do not support wildcards at all,
Netscape, however, still works just fine. This is seemingly an issue with
the CAPI of Win2k and they are working on sorting it out.
