Beginning with [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] 2008, [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] and the [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] Native Client support wildcard certificates. Other clients might not support wildcard certificates. For more information, see the client documentation. Wildcard certificate cannot be selected by using the [!INCLUDE[ssNoVersion](../../includes/ssnoversion-md.md)] Configuration Manager. To use a wildcard certificate, you must edit the `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQLServer\SuperSocketNetLib` registry key, and enter the thumbprint of the certificate, without spaces, to the **Certificate** value.
