idiot admins proof

[uadm]

I have few admins that are allowed root access to my client servers. Some of them are idiots and connect with http://site:2086.
Is there a way to disable this port and force connection to https://site:2087 ?

Thanks

P.s. not with firewall rules.

You can disable that port with a firewall. Then they couldn't use it. I don't know how to redirect, but if they know about 2087 then they can figure it out. Also, they can do
http://domain.com/securewhm and that will redirect to https://domain.com:2087

Thanks for the idea. However, I'm not looking for workarounds. I have a situation that needs to be addressed directly.

I absolutely not understand how Cpanel came up with this genius of idea.. Exactly like enabling telnet on the server and login as root.

its pretty simple.

cd /usr/local/cpanel/base/
mv whmredirect.cgi whmredirect.cgi.bak
ln -s whmredirect.cgi swhmredirect.cgi

you could use this with redirect.cgi and sredirect.cgi for cpanel.
You can modify httpd.conf and change whm alias if you prefer

You can also edit whmredirect.cgi and let it point to the secure port and add an "s" behind http etc..

But does cpanel updates cause problems to this? And how about httpd.conf?
