Before someone takes this advice to heart, please consider the
following:
- Wildcard certificates have a CN of *.domain
- Wildcard certificates do not work with a *lot* of browsers, and -
check this for yourself, i don't know if my memory serves me right -
most Microsoft browsers refuse to handle it. Not that I care for that,
but your customers/boss might.
Greets,
