foobar.somesite.com that is hosting the site

Posted in: #Domains #Https #SecurityCertificate #Subdomain

For example, if I have a subdomain of:
foobar.somesite.com

that is hosting the site but I want to pass the actual domain of:
foobar.com

in the browser would this cause any issues when using a wildcard SSL certaficate on anything for:

*.somesite.com

When I research how to do it properly my understanding is I should pass a 301 redirect on foobar to somesite then use something like:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias *.example.com
ProxyPassMatch ^/(*)$ a.example.com/ ...
...
</VirtualHost>

If there is another way to do this please let me know but I have to use a SSL on the sub-domain.

The SSL certificate for *.somesite.com will not match somesite.com so you will get SSL errors when you try to connect to your site if you use this certificate. You will need to get another certificate or be able to add somesite.com as a Subject Alternative Name of your certificate for *.somesite.com
