Wildcard Certificate Question

We need to change our Cert for the view environement and are going to use wildcard cert.  Current cert is view .midxxxxxxx.com and wildcard cert is *.midxxxxxx.com.  Are there any issues with using wildcard certs in a view environment??  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks

Thank you, Perry

Wildcard Certificate A wildcard certificate is generated so that it can be used for multiple services. For example: *.company.com. Scenarios for Setting Up SSL Certificates for View VMware, Inc. 6 A wildcard is useful if many servers need a certificate. If other applications in your environment in addition to View need SSL certificates, you can use a wildcard certificate for those servers, too. However, if you use a wildcard certificate that is shared with other services, the security of the VMware Horizon product also depends on the security of those other services.
