Hello, I recently pruchased an ssl certificate for my website for security purposes, but i didn't get the wildcard certificate *.example.com The problem is that adding the certificate to my account forced me to have the wildcard add-on for my website. Now the problem i am having is http://example.com resolve to my domain but https://example.com gives a security exception both in IE and Firefox. Is there a solution for this that doesn't require me to buy a wildcard certificate (more expensive). I tried to redirect to the full domain name www.example.com but i am not sure i am doing it at the right place, because i still get the exception. Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you Seylom
Sure! thank you for your time. Basically if you purchase a basic ssl certificate for www.example.com, the https will only work for https://www.example.com, and not for https://example.comwhich means that if you try to access https://example.com, the browser will not display the page since the certificate is only valid for https://www.example.com a solution would be to purchase the wildcard ssl certificate therefore allowing the ssl for *.example.com but i find it too costly. i was wondering if it is possible to do a redirect from https://example.com to https://www.example.com and if so, where to do the redirect Thank you.
to have an idea on the exception here are the two links to my website: https://middleclasscrunch.comand https://www.middleclasscrunch.com Thanks
as a matter of fact, even wildcard will not work for you. Wildcard only with *.domain.com (and not domain.com). There's no redirect setting on the server that will archieve what you want to do. You'll have to do that programatically. Bruce DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
