Multisite with Single Domain SSL

Why can’t you get free SSL by Lets Encrypt for your secondary domains?

My host will anyway charge me for installing SSLs for all additional domains.

Thats one awful host. Anyway implementing what you suggested above would require huge amount of custom coding, the cost of the project would make absolutely no sense as there are more proper way to solve this (….change host and get free ssl’s).

OK, thanks, I’ll review my options.

Additional question: Let’s say that I’m running a multisite with domain mapping via a plugin, which means that I access the back end of WP through https://mappeddomain1.primary.com/wp-login.php, but the front end is accessible via https://mappeddomain1.com.

I then install an SSL which supports multiple domains, but not wildcard (subdomains), and I configure WP to use SSL for the entire site.

Will that create problems when I try to access the back end through https://mappeddomain1.primary.com/wp-login.php? Will WP try to redirect me to the non-existent wildcard certificate on https://mappeddomain1.primary.com/wp-login.php?
