Urgent DCV Updates

[cPanelUser-Inactive]

Comodo's making changes to how they handle DCV, and to accommodate it we will be pushing updates to versions 56, 58, 60, 62, and 64 this week. These updates will need to be applied before July 20th to prevent SSL issuing from failing on cPanel & WHM servers. There's a full explanation about it on our blog. Feel free to ask questions here, or in comments on the blog.

Once the DCV update takes place, it sounds like the redirects in /public_html/.htacess like this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[0-9]+\..+\.cpaneldcv$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

will no longer be necessary?

If not, will upcp remove them automagically after July 20th?

Unfortunately no, this change doesn't remove the need for the htaccess adjustments. However, you can avoid those adjustments with the global exclude if you're using Apache 2.4:

Thanks, but I love AutoSSL and can live with the .htaccess adjustments to keep it.
