DigiCert Launches WildCard Plus SSL Certificates.
2007-06-05, HostMan.biz DigiCert, Inc. today announced the launch of its WildCard Plus SSL Certificates, expanding the usefulness and compatibility of DigiCert wildcard certificates. A typical wildcard certificate for *.digicert.com will work with names like www.digicertִcom and mail.digicert.com, but not digicert.com itself. This often comes as a disappointment to administrators who want to protect both https://wwwִdigicertִcom and https://digicertִcom with the same certificate. DigiCert WildCard Plus resolves this problem by including the base domain in every wildcard certificate as a subject alternative name, a little-used but well-supported capability of SSL certificates. DigiCert WildCard Plus also addresses compatibility issues with certain mobile devices. In conjunction with DigiCert's Unlimited Server License (included with all WildCard SSL Certificates), the new WildCard Plus feature will allow system administrators to name up to ten specific sub-domains to be listed in the certificate, resolving issues with the star (*) syntax. "Some of our customers have problems securely connecting to their company mail server, because their mobile devices do not support wildcard name matching," said Christopher Skarda, DigiCert's Director of Security Services. "We found that many of these mobile devices do support Subject Alternative Names. By putting the wildcard (e.g. *.digicert.com) and the mail server name (e.g. mail.digicert.com) into the same certificate, we found a way to enable devices to accept the specific host name. "In the past, the only option was to purchase a separate SSL Certificate. Wildcard Plus resolves this issue, saving our customers both time and money. Best of all, this feature is available to all of our existing and new customers at no extra charge." "When you're breaking new ground, there's always the temptation to pass the cost along to your customers," said DigiCert's Director of Web Development, Jeff Snider. "But we care about our customers, and this meets our number one priority: responding to their needs." |
