You need a web certificate signed by one of the signing authorities that has 
their root CA in your devices already.  Self signed certificates are going to 
always generate an invalid cert warning.    You should treat packetfence as a 
web (apache) install if you consider the certificate angle.

For my application I generated one not using a *.domain.

Subject: [PacketFence-users] What type of certificate is needed for captive 
portal web server?

Hello all,

I would like to know what type of SSL certificate needs to be requested for the 
captive portal. The documentation seems to hint to a hint wildcard certificate, 
but that only supports subdomains. I noticed that in my current setup (a self 
signed certificate) I get a certificate error that states that the certificate 
is only valid for www.mytestsite.com. Is the wildcard certificate the correct 
type of certificate needed? Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
Manny
