Redirecting https://domain:2083 to https://host:2083

[goodmove]

Hi,

I have a newbee question.

How do I get https://domain:2083 redirected to https://host:2083 so the user won't get a warning about name mismatch for the SSL certificate. Assuming there is an SSL certificate installed for the server's hostname. This is when a user types in http://domain.com/securecontrolpanel.


The related file: /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/sredirect.cgi looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/perl -T

open(CPCONF,"/var/cpanel/cpanel.config");
while(<CPCONF>) {
if (/^port=(\d+)/) {
$port = $1;
}
}
close(CPCONF);
if ($port eq "") { $port = '2082'; }
$port++;

if ($ENV{'HTTP_HOST'} ne "") {
print "Location: https://$ENV{'HTTP_HOST'}:${port}\n\n";
exit;
}

print "Location: https://$ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'}:${port}\n\n";

I've tried to put the hostname instead of $ENV{'HTTP_HOST'}, but that didn't work.

Is there a solution to this?

what ive done to match the ssl/cpanel login..

i made my hostname be (in WHM intital setup)
secure.mydomainname.com

i gave secure.mydomainname.com an IP #

i created a self signed cert for secure.mysitename.com

restarted apache and walla my clients login to there cpanel from
https://secure.mysitename.com:2083

rather then having 3 ! Yellow warning flags it shows 1 flag and 2 green flags

to get it NOT to every show up the warning prompt you ll have to purchase a real SSL Cert
not a self signed created cert..

you can get a chainedSSL cert for about 20$ from ev1servers.net
and just do the above settings for the real cert

just dont create a subdomain with secure.mysite.com its not needed


hope this helps

You see, the cert is not self signed. It's a Comodo cert and it works fine (no warnings) as

https://secure.mysitename.com:2083/

What I wanted to know is, how to get into Cpanel with

https://userdomain.com:2083/

without any warning popup.

restarted apache and walla my clients login to there cpanel from
https://secure.mysitename.com:2083

btw, how do you get your users to login with the hostname? Do you tell them the URL or do you redirect them?

i let them know


the only way i know of to not get a warning for
https://domain.com:2083
is to give every client an IP and Cert..lol..pointless really..


thats why i only use one way of logging in.they all use it.
and easyer to track whos loggin in too

there is another way - with the cert you have now you can use https://secure.mysitename.com/~user:2083 and that won't get warnings or you can get a better cert for server wide inquires I think the call them wildcard certs or they have some other names for them. I think they start around 300.00 and you can supposedly use them on a single box, some are limmitted to a number of servers. DO some homework though cause the price is quite different and if you mess up on the start it will cost you a great deal of time and money - or get someone to help you with it.
