Wildcard certficates

Hello,


Recently (iOS 10.2) apple blocked the certificates trust by Startcom that we used on our backend server (https://support.apple.com/en-us/ht204132). So we are getting a new one from another entity. The question is, is there any restriction of iOS with regard to wildcard certificates?


thx,


Claudio

Apple’s TLS trust policy (that what is returned by 

SecPolicyCreateSSL
) supports wildcard certificates per RFC 2818. However, my general recommendation when you’re shopping around for certificates is to have the prospective CA issue you a short-duration test certificate that you can use to test all the scenarios that are critical to your needs.
