say,I've a domain abc.com,I've made a self signed SSL Certificate successfully for www.abc.com,(even *.abc.com),however it doesn't work for abc.com
how to fix this issue?

A:
Wildcards in *.abc.com don't work for abc.com as there is a significant dot. Try to use multiple DNS entries in your subject alternative name extension instead (in fact, that's the recommended way anyway, it's even preferable to wildcards in most cases).

Do you have an example commercial certificate for which browser would treat `example.com` as valid for `*.example.com`?

I guess they do it with multiple S.A.N. entries. (Some have multiple CN components in the Subject DN, but different browsers may interpret that differently.)
