installation of ssl for admin section
« on: November 22, 2024, 05:31:06 AM »
Hi

I was wondering do i need to install an ssl for every user that uses the control panel

for example if i go to mydomain.com:2087 it comes with https lined out same if i go to mydomain.com:2083 i get the " Your connection is not private" Do i need to install an SSL for ever account that uses :2083 to log in there control panel or can i just install one ssl on the server for every user that visits there control panel?

If i just need to install one what is the best way to do this.

Am sorry i really hope that makes sense.

Thanks for reading!

You can use just one SSL issued for the hostname of your server. So make sure the hostname of your server is valid, pointed to the main IP address of your server. If everything looks good then try to get the SSL for the hostname:
https://forum.centos-webpanel.com/how-to/(tutorial)-how-to-install-ssl-on-hostname/
When the SSL for the hostname is installed you will be able to access the admin and user level control panels via:

https://hostname.com:2087
https://hostname.com:2083

You say you added the record name.domain.com and issued the ssl for name.domain.com. So use name.domain.com to access the admin and user level panels.

My users access their CWPanel at https://cpanel.domain.com/ (no port specified).

All my users have SSL installed on their domains though. It's just a click of a button WebServer Settings > SSL Certificates (make sure the cpanel one is installed under Admin services for each domain).
