Background:
I have a server running CPanel 74.0.8 with a number of accounts, hosting a variety of websites on different SSL certificates (paid, free and autossl).
Inside one account the website is secured using a Comodo Free SSL certificate. This was done because the old certificate was a Symantec certificate and browsers were about to stop trusting it (security issue), and I couldn't figure out how to create a new AutoSSL certificate - the user account doesn't have one installed, where as other user accounts already have one.
Question 1:
How do I create a new certificate for AutoSSL on an existing account? Unfortunately this isn't immediately obvious, I can see how to switch between existing certificates, generate a self-signed certificate and use an externally generated one but not how to generate a CPanel AutoSSL certificate from scratch.
Question 2:
Following on from Q1. Is it possible to apply an AutoSSL CPanel certificate to the main domain and an alias domain? The documentation seems to indicate this happens auto magically when the alias is created, which hasn't happened because there is no AutoSSL certificate, so would be possible to do this after the alias was created?
More Info:
I aware I can enable AutoSSL to replace invalid and expiring certificates. I suspect I could turn this on, delete my existing certificates (just for the one user account!), run Check AutoSSL and it might create a new AutoSSL certificate, but that seems like a scary approach and I'm a little hesitant to enable this as it will affect all user accounts on the server and I don't know what it considers an invalid certificate..
Thanks. Help and guidance is much appreciated.
