[svlug] Certificates and www

[Skip Evans]

Hey all,

We just launched a new site for a client, 
earbuzz.com, and several modules like shopping the 
cart and registration are behind https.

Apparently what happens when people go to 
www.earbuzz.com and then access an https secured 
section of the site they get a warning telling 
them that the certificate was issued to 
earbuzz.com, not www.earbuzz.com.

We did not install the cert; the hosting people 
did that.

I can certainly make code changed to fix this, but 
I was under the impression a certificate good for 
earbuzz.com should also protect www.earbuzz.com 
without issuing warnings?

I guess I'm wrong about this???

Thanks,
Skip
