Distinguishing between the 3 options under "Proxy's Certificate"

Hello | Last updated: Feb 04, 2016 10:43AM UTC

Under "Proxy >> Options Proxy Listeners", I see that there are three options under Certificate. 1. Use a self-signed certificate 2. Generate CA-signed per-host certificates 3. Generate a CA-signed certificate with a specific hostname When will we ever need to use option 3? Wouldn't Option 2 always work? Is there a use-case or scenario to demonstrate the usage of option 3?
