I have some question about the facebook apps secure canvas URL.

  1. For the facebook apps secure canvas URL or secure page tab URL, does it require a specific kind of SSL Certificates, or any kind of them is fine??

  2. As I am using one domain to host all things in different apps, is it fine for different apps using the same security domain?

  3. For example, if I bought a SSL for my domain, let's say it is http://abc.com. What I need to type in the secure canvas URL box is https://abc.com, right? Do I got it correct?

answer 1.
any ssl certifcate is ok. you can buy i.e. namecheap.com rapidsslonline.com for cheap ssl for your live app.
for your develop app you can create self signed certificate for free

answer 2. as you host your apps in this form:

it is sufficient having your ssl for myappportal.com. however if they are:

issue becomes sub domains which means you need sertifcate for *.myappportal.com

answer 3. correct example.
