Secure Logins w/o htaccess?

[captainsanity]

Hi.

I tried to block ports 2082,2086, 2095 on a cpanel machine but when I do, I can't login. I suspect it's because cpanel uses htaccess authentication.

Are there any plans to move the login process to an embedded ssl page rather than the current method? I would like to disable the non-secure ports and eliminate any plain text transmission of user/pwd pairs.

Thanks,

Chris

Just allow localhost to connect to those ports and it will work.
