Hi,

We have wildcard certificate installed in our production environment. One of our client wants his name to appear in the URL (e.g. companyname.example.com). How we should facilitate this?

Do we need to make any entries for this in DNS? If yes can you please let me know about it?

I need to set this up before Fridat PST, any help in this is highly appriciated.

Thanks.
