Good day,

I was wondering how wildcards in CNs are evaluated in nss (also,
wondering if it's the same in openssl). The X.509 RFC seems to
indicate the following:

*.domain.dom matches a.domain.dom, but not a.b.domain.dom

If you want to match sub-sub-domains, you would thus need another
wildcard added to your CN: *.*.domain.dom.

Is my understanding correct?

Thank you,
Ralph
