Overview

Since version 8.0.1, Plesk allows you to create and use certificates for wildcard domain names, e.g. *.mt-example.com.

Instructions

A wildcard certificate can be created the same way that a usual certificate is generated. The only difference is that you will specify the name with an "*" sign when generating the cert -- for example "*.mt-example.com."  This will then enable you to use the same certificate across multiple valid subdomains, such as mail.mt-example.com, ftp.mt-example.com,  etc.
