Subject Alternative Names (SANS) Certificates: Secure Multiple Domains with a Single Certificate
Choose a Symantec SSL Certificate and secure multiple* domain names by adding them to the Subject Alternative Name (SAN) field during enrollment. SAN is an optional feature available for Secure Site Pro with EV, Secure Site with EV, Secure Site Pro, and Secure Site Certificates. Compare these SSL Certificates.
The SAN option is also available for all SSL certificates issued through Symantec’s Managed PKI for SSL, Symantec Trust Center Enterprise Account, and Symantec Trust Center.
SAN Certificates are often used for Unified Communications (UC) to secure Microsoft Exchange 2007 Server, Office Communications Server 2007, or Mobile Device Manager as well as server names, intranet, and .local names. For example, you can secure all these domains with a single SAN Certificate:
- www.bizybank.com
- www.exchange.bizybank.com
- www.bizybank.net
- www.new-bizybank.net
SAN may also be used for:
- Servers within your intranet by name (example "server.local" or "faxtool")
- Hostnames (example - mailserver)
