Question Use Let's Encrypt wildcard cert to secure Plesk Panel and Site Preview URLs?

Hi,

On Plesk 17.9 I've been using an LE certificate to secure the actual Plesk Panel site for a while now. Although, back when I set this up I had to create a "dummy" website with the domain that the Plesk Panel uses, otherwise installing the LE cert for the Panel would fail. (I think this issue has been resolved now, but I haven't tested it).

So now that LE does wildcard certificates: does this mean we can install a LE wildcard cert for securing Plesk Panel and also have it work for Plesk Preview URLs?

Let's say my Plesk Panel URL is https://server1.webhost.com:8443

A preview URL on this server might be: https://mywebsite.com.123-123-123-123.server1.webhost.com

Should I be able to install a wildcard certificate for Plesk Panel and have it also available for Site Preview URLs?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
