I think foreman and smartproxy will use the puppet certificate infrastructure (as is default in the foreman installer), so that leaves us with a few others. Pro for a wildcard is that it's easy. You can secure lots of services with just one certificate. Con is that if one service is compromised and the private key leaks, you need to replace the certificate on all services. Given we want to set up everything and still starting up I'm favoring ease thus a wildcard. Regarding security I hope that we eventually can use DNSSEC + DANE so we can use self-signed certificates (so without a CA), but also without the downsides of nobody trusting it. That will require RH IT to support DNSSEC and much wider adoption of DNSSEC and DANE but I strongly believe this will be the future of SSL certificates.
