I love the ability to upload certificates.
a future request would be the ability to upload password protected (encrypted) private keys, witch can be de- crypted on the fly. (i mean there no need to store them encrypted within the āproductionā environment but think is is good practice not to shuffle un-encrypted keys around outside it)
Just a minor detail and not the Topic of this post
Iām not able to upload certificates with a wildcard in the DNS in the Subject Alternative Name such as *.example.com nor example.com. A wildcard in the CommonName works just fine.
I use home brew (self signed CA) certificates in the test lab, so i wonder if i am doing something wrong there.
Has someone tried to upload a real certificate with a wildcard in the DNS Alternative Name?
(i donāt have one, they cost moneyā¦)
EDIT It looks like it is impossible to upload a certificate with a DNS Alternative Name that differs from the serverās hostname. This means its impossible to upload a proper certificate for virtualhosts.
I will investigate.
Just uploaded a STARTSSL cert with a (non wildcard) DNS Alternative Name and tested it on a virtual host, al fine.
So it most likely i make some faults in my home brew certās with a DNS wildcard.
