Move SSL certificates from WHM to cPanel

[robb3369]

So after spending about 20 minutes trying to install a renewed EV certificate from both WHM and cPanel, and finally getting it installed via WHM. I'm used to only dealing with what used to be 4 files: domain.com.key, domain.com.csr, domain.com.crt and domain.com.cabundle, there are now 7 files floating around in different places (plus all of the older revisions):

/home/username/ssl/certs/domain_com_e0498_1df09_1408060799_ed147e150ae0ab8ca11c4a34726ebd00.crt
/home/username/ssl/keys/e0498_1df09_52dbb207e589b82646de134a3ef33dd8.key
/var/cpanel/ssl/installed/certs/domain_com_e0498_1df09_1408060799_ed147e150ae0ab8ca11c4a34726ebd00.crt
/var/cpanel/ssl/installed/keys/e0498_1df09_52dbb207e589b82646de134a3ef33dd8.key
/var/cpanel/ssl/system/certs/domain_com_e0498_1df09_1405363572_342ef654e0a813821061aeee28342742.crt
/var/cpanel/ssl/system/csrs/domain_com_e0498_1df09_22c62f643efb455898e4e6daa4cf40c5.csr
/var/cpanel/ssl/system/keys/e0498_1df09_52dbb207e589b82646de134a3ef33dd8.key

According to the httpd.conf, these were the two files used for SSL:

/var/cpanel/ssl/installed/certs/domain_com_e0498_1df09_1408060799_ed147e150ae0ab8ca11c4a34726ebd00.crt
/var/cpanel/ssl/installed/keys/e0498_1df09_52dbb207e589b82646de134a3ef33dd8.key

So the question is how to safely move these certs so that they appear correctly in the user's cPanel.

Hello

The certificate data should exist in both locations:

/var/cpanel/ssl/installed
/home/username/ssl/

The information should be visible in in the "SSL/TLS Manager" within cPanel. Is that not the case?

Thank you.

On the cPanel side of things... There is no key, csr or cert listed on those three pages, but the SSL certificate is shown on the "Activate SSL" page...

And if you click on the "Update Certificate", only the certificate and private key are loaded. The configured cabundle is not loaded.

I did find that the other configured SSL sites have their file names changed and the files moved around, but I cannot find any detailed technical reference on what went where... Now the "Use Certificate for New Site" is pretty cool especially if you have a wildcard SSL, you can add it to all the subdomains.

Could you open a support ticket so we can take a closer look?
