Thinking of adding SSL to the hostname but...

[Mr Goodie2Shoes]

Hello again,
I again have a confusion and its about installing an SSL Cert to my server hostname so that users can securely login to cPanel...

and my question is: Will I be needing another Dedicated IP for that?

Hello

You can actually install the SSL certificate for cPanel/WHM without an additional IP address. To install a certificate for cPanel/WHM, you would use the following option:

"WHM >> Service Configuration >> Manage Service SSL Certificates"

This is documented at:

Manage Service SSL Certificates

Thank you.

 

[Mr Goodie2Shoes]

okay thanks... but its "Service Configuration" not Server :p

another question... I've bought a PositiveSSL, can I use it on all the services? like SMTP, cPanel, FTP...

 

[cPanelMichael]

Yes, you can use the same certificate for all the services available under "Manage Service SSL Certificates".

Thank you.

What about Apache though?

I am having an issue where I have setup the ssl cert (it is a wildcard) and I have set it up using the nobody user, and I have set it up as the shared ssl certificate on the server.

The services have all been enabled using the certificate and it works without any issue, however if I go to https://host.myhostname.com it is giving me the old ssl certificate expiration date, but if I go to https://host.myshostname.com/whm it is giving me the proper expiry date.
