There's a section in the article about how they use dashes instead of dots to separate octals in the IP. That way the wildcard cert covers those subdomains because they are only one level deep.
- joshstrange 11y agoAhh, I'm an idiot. Thank you for pointing that out to me. xip.io uses dots and so my brain just assumed dots on this one was well. I still would be very interested in finding a provider that did this or gave a reasonable number of domains on the cert. Though wildcard on subs is what I really want without having to buy one for each sub so I can do: .server1.joshstrange.com .server2.joshstrange.com etc...
- stouset 11y agoProviders can't do this, because browsers implement an RFC that doesn't allow multi-level wildcards.
- joshstrange 11y agoYeah, I've read this previously. It seems odd to me, I feel like I should be able to do this, I own the domain and I want to secure everything underneath it... sigh I guess I'll have to settle for a cert that allows for lots of domains under it and just have to create a different cert for each domain.
