- Check Secure the wildcard domain (including www and webamail), which includes www.yourdomain.com , the webmail and all the rest subdomains of your main domain, in case that they exist. Otherwise, you can choose only the instance you want to be secured:
- If you want to install SSL for www.yourdomain.com, check the box Include a "www" subdomain for the domain and each selected alias
- If you want to install SSL for webmail, check the box Secure webmail on this domain.
