Jeff,

if my understanding is correct, https requires open-mpi.org is the only
(httpd) domain served on port 443 for a given IP (e.g. no shared hosting)
a certificate is based on host name (e.g. www.open-mpi.org)  and can
contains wildcards (e.g. *.open-mpi.org)
so if the first condition is met, then you should be able to reuse the
certificate that was previously used at UI.

makes sense ?

Cheers,

Gilles
