Wildcard subdomain and SSL prompt

  • I have a question we have a WordPress site and we are trying to do a wildcard subdomain, but when you type anything.domain.cc you get an ssl prompt. I’ve tried searching online and tried different tricks to not get the ssl prompt, the site is hosted on a whm/cpanel server.

    I’ve tried checking out cpanel possibilities, but didn’t have much luck. Any suggestions that can be offered will be much appreciated.

    I apologize I think I may have needed it to put this in networking.

    You would need a wildcard certificate from Godaddy. They were expensive. I bought their 5 SSL Certificate. I have a txt script that creates the key and csr for Goddady.

    openssl req -new -sha256 -nodes -out \5Cert.csr -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout \5Cert.key -config <(
    cat <<-EOF
    [req]
    default_bits = 2048
    prompt = no
    default_md = sha256
    req_extensions = req_ext
    distinguished_name = dn

    [ dn ]
    C=US
    ST=Michigan
    L=Clinton Township
    O=Home
    OU=Basement
    [email protected]
    CN = wp.pandjmckenneyfamily.com

    [ req_ext ]
    subjectAltName = @alt_names

    [ alt_names ]
    DNS.1 = science.scsiraidguru.com
    DNS.2 = wp.mylibertarianblogpage.com
    DNS.3 = firewall.scsiraidguru.com
    DNS.4 = new.mylibertarianblogpage.com
    EOF
    )

    I have many doamins for my WordPress sites at home. I use scsiraidguru.com for many sites. On my second server I have wp.science.scsiraidguru.com that is my technical site. On this server science.science.scsiraidguru.com. In Godaddy, I just add the DNS names. I even created one for my Fortinet 60E firewall.

    If you have a public wildcard certificate, you could put it in Apache and attach it to each web site in the /etc/apache2/sites-available folder. I create a separate virtual host for each web site on both servers.

    So it wouldn’t be anything on the cpanel side where it resides?
