Configuring Wildcard SSL

A Wildcard CSR (Certificate Signing Request) in Lifeboat must be generated from the base domain name. Create a Domains & Subdomains record for the root domain name if one does not exist. Select the domain, right-click, and choose "Manage CSR". Fill out the CSR form and be sure to select the "Wildcard Certificate" checkbox on the bottom left.

Provide the CSR to the SSL provider and follow their instructions for verification. When complete, the SSL provider will deliver a SSL Certificate. More detailed instructions on this process can be found on the Manual SSL page.

To configure a subdomain with a wildcard certificate copy the SSL Certificate and Private Key from the root domain. Do not generate a new CSR for subdomains with a wildcard certificate.
