'How does wildcard ssl certificate match domains

In terms of wildcard ssl certificate, *bar.example.net would match domains like foobar.example.net, but will it also match bar.example.net ?



Solution 1:[1]

First of all, *bar.example.net is not valid, it should be *.bar.example.net. This already advances the answer, which is: no, *.bar.example.net does not match bar.example.net.

Solution 2:[2]

As Marcos said, you have to provide two entries for domain.com and *.domain.com which will cover for the main domain and any subdomain of the main domain.
