Yes.

No sorry. Wild cards cost a lot.


I would recommend a better approach. NSS supports SAN (SubjectAltenativeNames) on certs.

So you make a cert with:

certutil -R -f pwdfile.txt -d . -t "C,," -x -n "Server-Cert" -g 2048\
-s "CN=nss.dev.example.com,O=Testing,L=example,ST=Queensland,C=AU" \
-8 "nss.dev.example.com,nss-alt.dev.example.com" -o nss.dev.example.com.csr

This certificate once signed would be useable with:

* nss.dev.example.com
* nss-alt.dev.example.com

There's no real limit to how many alternative names you can have, but it's a good idea to plan your deployment so you don't have
to keep re-issuing these when you request more certs.

Remember, this still needs signing so you would need to send the .csr to your CA


I hope that helps you,
