CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-002) — Question 113

A cloud administrator configures a new web server for the site https://companyname.com. The administrator installs a wildcard SSL certificate for
*.companyname.com. When users attempt to access the site, a certificate error is received. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the error?

Answer options

• A. Certificate misconfigured
• B. Certificate expired
• C. Certificate revoked
• D. Certificate not signed

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The most likely cause of the certificate error is that the certificate is misconfigured, meaning it does not match the expected domain or subdomain. The other options, such as the certificate being expired, revoked, or not signed, would typically produce different types of errors, not specifically related to misconfiguration.
