If you need to have an ssl certificate for several virtualhosts on the same server instance you can use a certificate with all the alias instead of an wildcard ssl certificate.

and to add your goal on setting up a * ssl (from my understanding looks like you want a wildcard ssl) is a bad idea as well because it defeats the purpose of validating that a specific cert is owned by a specific server

Hi Robert,

The problem with self-signed-certificate is you really need to educate
the users and ensure they always check for the certificate issuer,
expiry, other parameters, etc before accepting the sessions.

As we know... most users don't bother and just click Accept.

That's mean, if the hijacker using MITM attack able to intercept your
traffic (which is easy if this is traverse the internet) and present
their own self-signed-certificate, most users do not aware and will
still Accept the connection, thus being hijacked.

Therefore it's imperative to implement a valid certificate either for
public CA or private CA as long as the chain can be validate back and
user's browser able to validate the authenticity of the certificate.

Kind regards,

Hello all,

I would like to know what are all security risk if i set rdp over ssl with a selfsigned certificat .

One example, is it possible that the certificate become corrupted ? What are the impacts ? DoEs exists some recovery solution ?

Man in the middle , is it yet possible ?

My principal problem is to deploy a certificate signed by our ca on all our servers ?

À certificate with * character resolve my problem ?
