Common names
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.
HCP supports subject alternative names for certificates created outside the system.
