iPXE discussion forum

I'm trying to get https downloads working against an https server where the certificate has a * for the hostname:

*.dept.school.edu

The acutual ipxe host is:

ipxe.dept.school.edu

When I attempt to connect to the https server with an ipxe kernel compiled with DEBUG=tls I get:

TLS 0x24104 server name incorrect (expected ipxe.dept.school.edu, got *.dept.school.edu)

Anyone know of a work around for this case? The star certs are handy, and they work for most https clients, but maybe not for ipxe?

Thanks in Advance

iPXE does not yet support wildcard HTTPS certificates. There are some patches floating around on the mailing-list that tries to add this feature. You could try one of those if you're in a hurry, or wait for mainline to pick up one of them.
