ip.bitcointalk.org certificate from RapidSSL CA and another one for *.bitcointalk.org from PositiveSSL CA 2 Why 2 different certs and 2 different certificates? Title: Re: Two SSL certificates for Bitcointalk, why? Post by: escrow.ms on April 12, 2014, 05:55:18 PM RapidSSL one is old and used to work on just ip.bitcointalk.org
Positive SSL is a wildcard SSL which will work on all subdomains. Quote The * (wildcard) allows the certificate to be used on any subdomain belonging to the yourdomain.com domain name." For example, a Certificate application for: *.yourdomain.com can be used to secure: www.yourdomain.com yourdomain.com secure.yourdomain.com webmail.yourdomain.com owa.yourdomain.com anything.yourdomain.com Title: Re: Two SSL certificates for Bitcointalk, why?

The service I have webspace on for instance sent me a mail today that they replaced all their certificates and asked me to change all passwords because they don't know how much they were affected and wanted to be sure nothing happens. I guess we will se changing certificates for a number of websites in the coming days and weeks. |
