20140609 - Introduction of wildcard SANs for Sectigo UC certificates
With TBS INTERNET it is now possible to include wildcard SANs (domain name in the form *.domain.ext) to Sectigo UC certificates.
A sole certificate can then really secure an infinite number of domains and sub-domains and even several levels of sub-domains (such as *.domain.ext and *.sub-domain.domain.ext)!
How does it work?
The CSR generation and the order process is the same than for a classical order of Sectigo UC certificates: Generate your certificate by indicating the main domain for the CN field. Copy / paste the CSR in the order form and enter the list of additional domains (the main domain cannot be a wildcard one).
Tariffs
The calculus is simple: 5 standard SANs count for 1 wildcard SAN. Only constraints: the first 3 SANs of the certificate (including the main domain) cannot be used to secure a wildcard domain.
In a schematic way:
SECTIGO UCC 4+ | SECTIGO UCC 3+ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Can I add a wildcard SAn to an existing certificate?
Yes. You can add a wildcard SAN via reissuance. The reissuance is free, only the needed additional SANs will be invoiced.
What if I delete a wildcard SAN from my certificate?
if you included a wildcard SAN to your certificate and want to delete it via reissuance, you'll then have 5 standard SANs available fot your other needs.
