problem accessing https//whm vs 2086

[chanklish]

hello awesome people
i have a question concerning my whm page
if i go to https://xxx/whm i received this error : NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
and if i proceed i am taken to the https://xxx:2086 where the https works normally

on the contrary if i go to http://xxx/whm it gives no error and redirects me directly to https://xxx:2086

why ? why doesnt the https://xxx/whm works ? i have autossl on it ?
please advise

In httpd.conf, just look for the following and make sure it is the same.

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/"
ScriptAlias /cpanel /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/redirect.cgi
ScriptAlias /whm /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/whmredirect.cgi

After that, restart apache and all should be well.

Hello,

You can browse to the "Redirection" tab in "WHM >> Tweak Settings" and verify the following option is enabled:

"Choose the closest matched domain for which that the system has a valid certificate when redirecting from non-SSL to SSL URLs. Formerly known as “Always redirect to SSL/TLS”"

Per it's description:

When a user visits /cpanel, /webmail, /whm, or visits other URLs that redirect to a cPanel service, the system will redirect to an SSL URL for the closest matched domain that the system has a valid certificate. If you disable this option, the system will redirect to the equivalent URL that they visited based on the original request made via HTTPS or HTTP. This option also controls how the system will redirect unencrypted cPanel, Webmail, WHM, and DAV requests to the best matched certificate for the domain when “Require SSL” is enabled. When enabled, it will redirect closest matched domain that the system has a valid certificate for. When it is disabled, it will simply redirect equivalent HTTPS URL.

Redirects will not occur when directly accessing the WHM service with the port specified in the URL.

Thank you.

i have this enabled , i turned it off and on again then restarted the apache service but still same error occurs
if i go to https://xxx/whm i get an ssl error :
The hostname in the website’s security certificate differs from the website you are trying to visit.

Error Code: DLG_FLAGS_SEC_CERT_CN_INVALID or NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID(different browser)

it gives ssl error
https://hostname:2087 works normally

http://hostname:2087 and http://hostname/whm are directly redirected to https://hostname:2087
