Is it possible to share the cPanel self signed SSL?

You said you were using the certificate for server.com, and then you asked if you could use it for server.com? What are you asking?

If you run a search, you should find more than a few posts dealing with the sharing of an SSL cert.

In the event of a self-signed cert, your visitors are going to receive a security warning upon viewing your site.

 

If you are talking about cpanel / whm self signed cert you can use it to enter your website via https:// like so

https://your.fullhostname.com/~username

username of any account that is on your server, this even includes your main account.

try it out!

 

Is mod_userdir enabled? I think it has to be, in order to get to an account that way... log into WHM and go to "Tweak Security" then enable mod_userdir.

 

I'm guessing that main.vibehosting.com is the hostname for your server, which hosts some virtual sites, among which is an account with the username "vibehost"...

I'm thinking maybe your httpd.conf has something wrong if it's not working. Maybe you can post the contents of your httpd.conf file (may be located in /usr/local/apache/conf) starting with the line "NameVirtualHost" and whatever is below it... the part where it's defining your virtual sites. Specifically, I'd be looking for lines that begin with <IfDefine SSL>...

I'm fairly new at this too, but maybe we will figure it out...

 

If those are the only sections dealing with SSL, I'd speculate something is missing... I would think you need a section to define the virutual host that the SSL certificate applies to...

Something like this perhaps, but maybe not exactly like this :

<IfDefine SSL>
<VirtualHost 69.31.79.2:443>
ServerAdmin admin@vibehosting.com
DocumentRoot /home/vibehost/public_html
<IfModule mod_userdir.c>
UserDir enabled vibehost
</IfModule>
ServerName vibehosting.com
CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/vibehost.com-ssl_log "%t %{version}c %{cipher}c %{clientcert}c"
User vibehost
Group vibehost
<IfModule mod_php4.c>
php_value open_basedir "/home/vibehost:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp:/var/tmp" <-- or something similar
</IfModule>
SSLEnable
SSLCertificateFile /usr/share/ssl/certs/vibehost.com.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/share/ssl/private/vibehost.com.key
SSLLogFile /var/log/vibehost.org
UserDir public_html
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/vibehost/public_html/cgi-bin/
SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
</VirtualHost>
</IfDefine>

 

The cPanel core system runs on it's own httpd server, which is not the same as the Apache server your customers use for their sites, and as a result, the certificate used for ports 2087/2083/2096 is not installed within the main Apache server by default. You are basically comparing apples to oranges here as they are two distinctly different entities.

 

In that case, does the cPanel core server use it's own httpd.conf? If so, where is that one?
