Hello Again,
For an SSL 101 course yes, it helps.
I want to transform my $5 we certificate to a wildcard because covering example.com and www.example.com doesn't cut it inside and outside my server's network, specially with Profile Manager, since it's OD signing of either self signed, self root, code signing or wathever comes from xyz.example.com.
I'm barely getting to master the split horizon DNS, mailing through My ISP, having my registrar or ISP being front mailing server. Companies just pass each other the buck. Feels like having a Samsung Phone, using Google Android, surfing with Firefox, searching on Bing for a Yahoo Apps.
But then again, there's a trizillion options out there, Identity, enterprise, code signing, MX, and it looks just as endless to me as the sheer number of PCs, Cards and Microsoft Windows combinations. Maybe not that bad but still.
Since i'm deploying Yosemite Server from home, with my dot com, on a DSL with static IP for the sole purpose of trying alsmost everything in OS X Server to put in practice all the theoretical of ACTC, I went through Apple Pro Training Server and Support, Integration and Management for 10.7,10.8,and 10.9, three of Reid Bundondis' three books, Terry Walsh's 2 of 3 home server books, Charles Edge Krypted dot com and watched Todd Olthoff's videos for 10.7,10.8,and 10.9.
I posted a long post of my setup here (even if it changes a bit with time) : Yosemite Home Mail server from Static ISP or registrar?
But as all installation are so personal, I can just still trial and error myself up to it.
So, if I can blow couple hundred bucks on a one year certificate that will do for my example dot com, OD, code signing, Profile Manager, Apple Configurator, Apple TV, Mail, Messages, AddressBook, Calendar, Wiki, Blog and maybe Xcode and Swift..
What do you recommend?
François.
