IIS7 SSL Wildcard Certificate

Will a wildcard certificate work with a domain and a subdomain?

http://example.com

http://sub.example.com

Can I setup a wildcard certificate to be used by these two? In the tutorials I have followed, they always use two or more subdomains without the main domain (tutorials here and here)

Simple answer is yes.

If you configure *.helpme.com, you can secure

• www.helpme.com
• photos.helpme.com
• blog.helpme.com etc

The wildcard certificate will only secures the level of subdomain you specify. So for example, if a certificate is configured for *.www.helpme.com, it will not secure www.helpme.com.
