Wildcard certificate problem

My client bought wildcard certificate for domain example.com. We have setup ssl on website which is used under something.more.example.com and the wildcard certificate is reporting problems. Is there a way to workaround this other then changing something.more.example.com to somethingmore.example.com ? I always thought I can have as many subdomains of subdomains as I want with wildcard certificate.

Solution 1:

I think as it is *.example.com it is only valid for immediate sub-domains, it does not support nesting. You'll have to name it somethingmore.example.com, or buy either an explicit something.more.example.com certificate or another wildcard as *.more.example.com.

Solution 2:

Wildcard certificates secure all of the subdomains at the level you specify when you submit your request:

A Wildcard SSL certificate secures your website URL, and an unlimited number of its subdomains. A single Wildcard certificate can secure both www.coolexample.com, and blog.coolexample.com.

Wildcard certificates secure all of the subdomains at the level you specify when you submit your request. Just add an asterisk (*) in the subdomain area of the common name where you want to specify the wildcard. For example:

If you configure *.coolexample.com, you can secure
www.coolexample.com
photos.coolexample.com
blog.coolexample.com, etc.

If you configure *.www.coolexample.com, you can secure
mail.www.coolexample.com
photos.www.coolexample.com
blog.www.coolexample.com, etc.
