HCP System Management Help
Every SSL server certificate has a common name. In HCP, the common name for a certificate must represent a subdomain of the domain with which the certificate is associated. The first segment of the common name can be an asterisk (*) by itself, which represents any valid domain name segment. A common name can be at most 255 characters long.
Here are some examples of common names for certificates associated with the domain named hcp.example.com:
*.hcp.example.com
admin.hcp.example.com
ten1.hcp.example.com
*.ten1.hcp.example.com
ns1.ten1.hcp.example.com
The common name for the certificate generated during HCP installation is an asterisk followed by the name of the domain created during installation.

Note: •HCP supports subject alternative names for certificates created outside the system. •In an HCP system that was upgraded from a release earlier than 6.0, the domain associated with the [hcp_system] network may have a certificate with a common name that does not match the domain name. HCP ignores common name mismatches when choosing which certificate to use for a given domain. For information on how HCP chooses certificates, see Certificate selection. |
