Question
As part of a project that my company is doing, we need to setup a development server.
Let's say our company's main domain is example.com
We need to be able to access the dev server through dev.example.com but unfortunately, company policy does not allow dev servers to have subdomains for the example.com
We need this due to SSO cookie issue.
We worked a way around it by using a hosts file but the problem is that we need to apply SSL.
In this case, can I register and apply a SSL with a common name 'dev.example.com'? I do have access to example.com's registered email address on WHOIS DB.
Explanation / Answer
That answer is most likely. It depends on the verification depth (or lack of) from the issuing certificate authority.
With that being said, it sounds like you will still be breaking policy even if you find a CA that will issue a certificate based on email verification alone.
Are you willing to suffer the repercussions if/when caught?
