Redirect www.*.example.com to *.example.com

We have a setup with a wildcard SSL setup for *.example.com so each type a user types myapp1.example.com or myapp5.example.com or myappstackoverflow.example.com

Everything is working fine.

However from time to time, some users are typing www.myapp5.example.com adding the www prefix.

I would like to know if there is a way to redirect www.*.example.com requests to *.example.com requests

thank you

Since your certificate is for *.example.com only it will not match whatever.*.example.com. This means the user will be confronted with a certificate warning before there is even a chance to redirect the user to a different domain.

In other words: what you want is not possible with your current certificate. You would need a certificate which does cover the all the variants your users might enter, i.e. *.*.example.com. Only, multi-level wildcard certificates are not possible and thus the most you can do is to get a certificate covering the most common errors of your users but not arbitrary subsub-domains.
