VPS Security Issues with SSL

Posted by brandonturpin, 02-02-2016, 03:24 PM So I just purchased an unmanaged VPS. The host name of the server I set to main.domainname.com, I installed cpanel and whm. I migrated all the sites from my reseller account, including the domain name that is the same as the host name (domainname.com) I purchased an SSL for the primary domain name that is hosted on its own account and it works. The issue I have is when I go, or any customers go, to cpanel it gives a security warning, that it is using a self signing ssl. The ssl is for the domain name of main.domainname.com. As I have a wildcard SSL on my primary domain name account would that not also cover main.domainname.com? If not than where do I go to set up a SSL that is verified since I do not have a cpanel for main.domainname.com. Also we set up a dedicated IP address for our domain name, and ever since then when I go to domainame.com/whm or /cpanel it actually forwards me over to main.domainname.com/whm where before, and on other sites on the system, it never showed main. I am wanting to secure my server so customers can log into cpanel and do so with the security of knowing their information is secure.
Posted by nessa, 02-02-2016, 07:17 PM When you install an SSL for your site it does not apply to services like cpanel, ftp, or mail. You have to install it for those: https://documentation.cpanel.net/dis...L+Certificates For a wildcard SSL, any subdomain the base domain it is signed for will work. Perhaps also when you have a cPanel question, it may be more appropriate to post it in the cPanel forums where the user base is specifically geared at addressing cPanel problems.
