I’m so excited to see what other requests come in for this brand new feature. ĪutoSSL is stable and ready for use, and it also already has a feature request on the cPanel & WHM Feature Request site. Please Note: There are some limitations when dealing with vast numbers of domains that are outside cPanel’s control, which you can read about in our documentation.Add a cronjob ( /etc/cron.d/cpanel_autossl ) to handle the downloading and installation of new SSL certificates for all of your hosted domains.Add a feature to WHM > Packages > Feature Manager named “AutoSSL”.The server will automatically do the following: In WHM, navigate to the AutoSSL interface, and click to toggle “cPanel.”.If you haven’t already, definitely take a look!Īfter upgrading, setting up AutoSSL is easy. If you want AutoSSL, it’s time to migrate to a new operating system! The good news is that the Transfer Tool now makes it easier than ever to migrate all of your system configurations and cPanel accounts. Since cPanel & WHM version 56 is the last version to support CentOS5 & 32-bit operating systems, this feature won’t be available for CentOS5.
For a summary of these limits, read our AutoSSL documentation at Upgrade now to get AutoSSLĪutoSSL reduces the barrier to securing your customer’s sites to zero and makes it a breeze to manage, but AutoSSL is only available on version 58 and above. Please note that there are several domain limits and rate limits associated with the Let’s Encrypt service. Once installed, Let’s Encrypt will appear in WHM’s Manage AutoSSL interface (Home > SSL/TLS > Manage AutoSSL), where you can enable the provider.
Once you are SSH’ed into the server as root, you can just run this command: /scripts/install_lets_encrypt_autossl_provider In version 58 the installation is limited to command-line access. I’m happy to now be able to say that the plugin is available to everyone running cPanel & WHM version 58.0.17 and above. The BETA version of that plugin was tested by a fantastic group of beta-testers, on production servers running cPanel & WHM versions 56 and 58. To accommodate that while maintaining our standards, we decided to do something we have not done in a while: develop our own plugin to provide support for a third-party application. The first hurdle we encountered when researching incorporating Let’s Encrypt’s support to cPanel & WHM was that our development and release cycle is completely out of sync with theirs. That kind of unprecedented community support made us very excited, and our development teams worked hard to find time for it. While adding support for Let’s Encrypt wasn’t on our roadmap until earlier this year, it quickly became the highest-voted request on our Feature Request site.
They, too, offer free Domain Validated SSL certificates, which fits perfectly with AutoSSL. AutoSSL and Let’s Encrypt Let’s Encrypt™ is a new-comer to the certificate authority world, and it has gained popularity very quickly. Security is incredibly important to us, and this is a feature we’ve been working on for a very long time. AutoSSL allows you to enable a feature in your cPanel & WHM account package which triggers the automatic request and installation of Domain Validated Comodo-signed SSLs for your customers, free of charge. I posted about AutoSSL before, but in case you haven’t heard of it yet, here’s more information. In cPanel & WHM version 58, we introduced a new feature called AutoSSL.
