      @swemattias you might want to save yourself a bit of work, and just use wildcard certs for your domains, that way you can use anything.domain1.io, etc.. and then a different wildcard for domain2.io etc..

      This way nothing really to do with the certs if you want to add somethingelse.domain.tld etc. .

        Yes, you're using wildcards. I don't know if wildcard + SAN (multiple wildcard domains) within a single certificate is even possible from LE.

          @johnpoz Sound like good idea, but there is a copy-button that a nifty feature. :)

          So only add *.domian.io certificates.
          So I have a few web servers for some of the domains, can I as an ACL rule say, domain.io and www.domain.io should go to this service? Even though using a *.domain.io?

            @viragomann yeah while you might be able to do something and otherthing.domainX.tld as sans in the same cert, I really doubt if you go do onething.domain1.tld and otherthing.domain2.tld in the same cert as SAN

              Yes, I have some different 2nd level domain within one, but I don't know if you get one with *.domain1.tld, *.domain2.tld, *.domain2.tld.
              Presumably not.

                @viragomann that would be a security concern for sure! I can't believe they would allow doing that without some really strict controls that you do in fact control both domains.

                I just don't see them allowing that.

                  Yes, sure. Use the "hostname match" ACL.

                  Even though using a *.domain.io?

                  But as said above already, you need both domains in the certificate domain.io and *.domain.io, or even one cert for each domain.
                  *.domain.io is not valid for domain.io.

                    I didn't try so far. But tha't sounds plausible.
