Well I had my share
of fun to figure out how to use a wildcard
certificate for SharePoint.
The SSL’s were expiring which we had from VeriSign. We had a wildcard *.domain.com from digicerts.com.
*.domain.com
means you can generate a certificate for any sub-domain with in it.
This works fine (for
scsm.contoso.com i.e. subdomain.domain.com ) but if you’re generating a
cert for second level sub domain
i.e.
sp.portal.contoso.com (secondleveldomain.subdomain.domain.com )
For this you
will need to generate something called as SAN
( Subject Alternative Name) by creating a duplicate cert and give a fully
qualified name i.e. sp.portal.contoso.com . This step may change depending upon
who is your provider.
We tried to
Complete the Domain Certificate but it wasn’t able complete the cert request
got some error. Here is how we were able to use the certificate eventually.
You need to
install the certificate on the corresponding
server via MMC (Certificates >
Computer Account > Tasks > Import the Certificate which your provider
has generated)
Now when the
certificate is installed, you would need to Export the Certificate (
right click on the cert and click on
Tasks > Export or Export ) and Complete a Domain Certificate in IIS via Server Certificates
Bind the same
for HTTPS in IIS for the
corresponding website and IISReset
Using this we
were able to use wild card certificates
for SharePoint environment.
You would need
to check with your certificates provider if they support SAN (Subject
Alternative Name) second level domain certificate. Digicerts does that and we’re
happy to be using the same.
Note: This
article is just to illustrate the wild card certificate does work for
SharePoint subject to your certificates provider and how you do it.
