some of our apps (most of them ) are deployed as application.api.example.com . Will a wildcard certificate ( .*.api.example.com) work ? I'm asking because I find the documentation a bit confusing. "Wildcard certificates only support one level of subdomain."

Hi Mihal,

What the documentation means is you cannot get a wildcard certificate for *.*.domain.com. In your case you could get a wildcard certificate for *.api.example.com and that will allow you to serve application1.api.example.com without issue. It will not however allow you to serve path.app1.api.example.com without a certificate warning. 

Hope that answers your question.
