Hi
I have a wildcard cert of the form '*.example.com'.
I have several subdomains for production websites, e.g. 'client1.example.com', 'client2.example.com', 'client3.example.com', etc.
I also have sub-subdomains, e.g. 'test.client1.example.com'
, 'test.client2.example.com'
, 'test.client3.example.com'
.
They are all on the same box but point to different webs using SSL host headers.
If I go to '
https://client1.example.com' or '
https://client2.example.com', all is good in all modern browsers.
However, if I go to '
https://test.client1.example.com' or '
https://test.client2.example.com', IE6, IE7 and Safari spit out an error saying 'The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website's address'. These browsers offer a link or button to continue, and then it works.
Hwoever, Firefox and Opera don't complain at all, and display the sites correctly.
Is there a fix for this? Or is it by design?
