wildcard ssl for multiple server?
Hi, I have domain which operates on several servers with subdomains like:
server1.domain.com
server2.domain.com
server3.domain.com
server4.domain.com
server5.domain.com
Now I want all of them to have SSL protection, so can we use single wildcard ssl cert for securing subdomains spawning over multiple physical servers ?
Comments
Yes you can.
You can install the same cert on different servers that host different sub domains.
https://buy.wosign.com/free/ - 100 domains in 1 crt
And what are those multidomain certs ?
Correct.
server1.domain.com | server1.domain.net
or
server1.domainA.com | server1.domainB.com
Depending on the cert in question.
There are 2 SSL certificate available which can fulfill your security needs.
(1) Comodo PositiveSSL Wildcard Certificate - It will let you to secure your website along with unlimited number of sub-domains. means a single SSL certificate can secure all your sub-domains. It can secure (domain.com, server1.domain.com, server2.domain.com, server3.domain.com, servern.domain.com).
Note: Comodo PositiveSSL certificate can only secure unlimited sub-domains with same host name. For different host name you need to get another certificate.
(2) Comodo Positive Multi Domain Wildcard Certificate - It will let you to secure your primary host name along with 100 fully qualified domain names and their unlimited number of sub-domains. For Example (domain.com, domain.net, server1.domina.com, server2.domain.net, server3.domain5.com, etc...),

@Saahib You can also buy VPS for $20 a year from @VMbox and get free AlphaSSl wildcard cert. lowendtalk.com/discussion/50472/vmbox-co-ovz-ssd-cached-free-wildcard-ssl-20-year-la-2-ipv4-s-1gb-ram-40-year-nl-phx-la#latest
That's been broken for a lot of today, either 507 error or just an Nginx error, guess they can't handle the load.
Edit: Managed to apply for a couple certificates, although I cannot sign-in to the "My Account" area even after resetting the password. I just get an error message which sadly is a browser prompt so translate doesn't work on it.
AS per your requirements, you should go with wildcard ssl certificate that can secure your all sub-domains which are created under the same domain name. With wildcard ssl you can secure main domain.com and its unlimited numbers of sub-domains server1.domain.com server2.domain.com server3.domain.com server4.domain.com server5.domain.com.
