public certificates? Do you use wildcards, or are you unconcerned by leaking information like servernames via CT?


Public wildcard cert for centrally managed things.

Of course only a trusted few have access to the private parts of the certificate that covers centrally managed things. For local dev instances I suggest having a local only meaningless domain and a wildcard off that,

If we were using per name certs and name leaking were a significant issue we could instead sign with a local CA and push the signing cert out as trusted to all machines we manage.
