Asked by TomFr
Hi all,
I have multiple machine and a reverse proxy to route web request to good server.
Machine 1 : zeus.mydomain.fr Machine 2 : cloud.mydomain.fr
I want to secure web server by using Let’s Encrypt free certificat.
Can I ask certificats for zeus.mydomain.fr and cloud.mydomain.fr or have I to define two subdomains to my domain provider and generate certificats for zeus.mydomain.fr/www.zeus.mydomain.fr and cloud.mydomain.fr/www.cloud.mydomain.fr
Thanks for your help

Hello mragusa,
thanks for your answer. I’m not sure to understand your answer. If I understand, I can generate with Let’s Encrypt a certificat for both hostnames?
Thanks
Hello,
In order to use SSL for both hostnames, you will need to generate one certificate per hostname but you can use the SAN field in the SSL certificates to define the www alias.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.
