Given a prime $\wp$, are there different primes $\wp_2$,..., $\wp_s$ such that $\wp \wp_2\cdots \wp_s$ is principal?

Let $A$ be a Dedekind domain. Let $\wp$ be a prime ideal in $A$. Can one find pair-wise different prime ideals $\wp_2$,..., $\wp_s$, also different from $\wp$, such that their product $\wp\wp_2 \cdots \wp_s$ is principal?

If not, is this true if we assume further that the ideal class group of $A$ is finite?

Many thanks and Merry Christmas!
