Summary
The SSL certificate used by the SSFE server can be updated from the management web console. To save on cost, some administrators may choose to use a wildcard certificate. You want to know if you can use wildcard certificates in SSFE.
Details
SSFE can use wildcard certificates. However, the administrator must ensure that the End User Portal address or FQDN of the SSFE server is only a first-level sub-domain of the wildcard certificate.
For example:
If the SSFE domain name as set in the Management Web Console > Administration > System Settings > Domain Name is ssfe.domain.com, a wildcard certificate for *.ssfe.domain.com will work.
On the other hand, a wildcard certificate for *.domain.com will not work because that will mean that the address www.ssfe.domain.com is already a second-level sub-domain of the wildcard certificate. This is because multiple sub-levels of wildcard certificates does not work on most web browsers.
