Check if certificate is wildcard certificate

certificate, x509certificate

Solution

Browse to a secured page on your server, ie: https://yoursite.com

Click on the padlock in the URL bar and view the certificate. To do this in Chrome you click on the `Connection` tab then `Certificate Information`.

Check that the `Common Name (CN)` contains a * in front of your domain name.

Eg. for https://www.google.com

Problem

We have a website and we'd like to check if the certificate installed is a wild-card certificate or tied to the specific URL only. Could this be checked in an easy way?
