What is the SSL Certificate Subject Alternative Name?

Join us as we dive into the essentials of TLS (Transport Layer Security) and how it ensures your online data remains secure. In this video, we'll explore the concept of Subject Alternative Name (SAN) extensions, which allow you to encrypt multiple domain names with a single TLS certificate.

Learn the difference between SAN and Multi-Name TLS Certificates, discover best practices for requesting a multi-name certificate, and understand the importance of well-formed names in the SAN field. We'll also discuss the advantages of avoiding wildcard names and how to effectively manage your SAN certificates for optimal security.

Whether you're a web developer, IT professional, or just curious about online security, this video will equip you with the knowledge to confidently use TLS SAN Certificates to protect your online presence.
