SSL with subdomains, wildcard problem

Hello community of CWP,

I am new user of this software. I am not so much experienced user, so do not judge me if i have silly question.

Problem that i have met useing at the moment this software was mainly as for installing SSL and specifically wildcard ssl with option of keep sub-domain on ssl.

Example:

my website is:  www.example.com
and my sub is: cp.example.com

I want both of them to be SSL secured, when i apply for SSL certification company of SSL request from me application in style like

*.example.com

So it can include all subdomain for ssl.

Problem comes when i am trying to create a request, i generate the codes over
Security > SSL Generator >

Common Name [Domain] : *.example.com
Country: Code of my country
State: State of my country
Locality Name [City] : My City
Organization Name: Organization of my company
Organization Unite Name: Same as previous
Email Address: my email of the domain
Valid Days: 365
Key size: i prefer the defaults 2048.

Sincei get the 2 codes, request and key.

I am going to

Apache Setting > SSL Cert Manager > Install SSL Certificate

Certificate: *.example.com
user: user of the domain
Path: Path of the website
Domain: [here is the tricky part] if i add it as "example.com" it will take it without any problem
if i add *.example.com [it wont take it either but will crash my Apache.] and then i will need to fix all the problems that come with the "asterisc problem"

Still have not managed to do it proper, should i leave it without asterisk? or what ?

Hi!

Im facing this problem too. It creates a file started with *.yourdomain.com.crt, but this *. have problems with linux filesystem.
Does anyone has installed a Wildcard on CWP before?

I think if you not use * in domain, when you generate a CSR, the ssl seller won't understand as Wildcard certificate, because there is no *. in domain.

In filesystem, some links was created wrong, I think.
Why dont replace the *. part of file by *-, fo example? This should work.

Another hint is to create a option to upload certificate, like cPanel do.

or simply rename all your certificate files (crt, key and bundle) and install it for every domain/subdomain you need.

example:
rename: *.example.crt to wildcard.example.com

command example

Code: [Select]

mv \*.example.crt wildcard.example.com
... do the same for other files also

Yes, sure it works!

But is interesting that pannel do it automatically. How we can tell to developers about this issue?
