Overview<\/h2>\n

Use this interface to install an SSL certificate on a domain, subdomain, addon domain, or the server hostname. Before you can use this feature, you must<\/strong> create or purchase a certificate, and you must<\/strong> possess the certificate\u2019s key.<\/p>\n

For more information, read our What is Domain TLS? documentation.<\/p>\n

\n
Important:<\/div>\n
\n

When you install a certificate, this interface indicates whether your certificate is self-signed. Self-signed certificates are easy targets for attackers and generate security warnings in your users\u2019 web browsers. Only<\/strong> install a self-signed certificate temporarily, until you can replace the certificate with a certificate from a valid certificate authority (CA).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

SNI and multiple certificates<\/h3>\n

Server Name Indication (SNI) allows a server to install multiple certificates to the same IP address.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Multi-domain<\/strong> (UCC\/SAN) certificates secure multiple domains that share the same IP address and match the certificate\u2019s domains list.<\/li>\n
  • Wildcard<\/strong> certificates secure a domain and an unlimited number of subdomains. For example, to secure store.example.com<\/code> and blog.example.com<\/code>, use a single wildcard certificate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Install an SSL certificate<\/h2>\n

    Use either of the methods below to install certificates on your server.<\/p>\n

    \n
    Notes:<\/div>\n
    \n
      \n
    • If the installation succeeds, WHM displays a confirmation message.<\/li>\n
    • If the installation fails, WHM displays an error message to indicate the problem.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

      Browse Certificates<\/h3>\n

      To find and select a certificate on your server, and install it, perform the following steps:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Click Browse Certificates<\/em>. The SSL Certificate List<\/em> will appear.<\/li>\n
      2. Select an account from the Browse Account<\/em> menu, or select Browse Apache<\/em>.\n
        \n
        Note:<\/div>\n
        \n The menu\u2019s certificates correspond to the account that you select. This menu does not<\/strong> indicate that the system will install the selected certificate to the selected account.\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
      3. Select the desired certificate.<\/li>\n
      4. Click Use Certificate<\/em>. The system automatically populates the text boxes.\n
          \n
        • If the domain does not use a specific dedicated IP address, select an IP address from the IP Address<\/em> menu.\n
          \n
          Note:<\/div>\n
          \n You may only select IP addresses that the menu labels as shared<\/em> or available<\/em>.\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
        • If you selected a purchased SSL certificate, you may need to complete the Certificate Authority Bundle (optional)<\/em> text box. If the system does not populate this text box with information, contact the organization from which you purchased the certificate.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
        • Click Install<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Install by the certificate\u2019s domain<\/h3>\n

          To use the domain name to find and install the certificate, perform the following steps:<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Enter your domain in the Domain<\/em> text box. The Autofill by Domain<\/em> button will appear.<\/li>\n
          2. Enter the certificate\u2019s information in the appropriate text boxes, or click Autofill by Domain<\/em> to automatically populate the certificate information text boxes.\n
            \n
            Note:<\/div>\n
            \n If multiple certificates exist for the same domain, the server attempts to choose the best certificate. In this scenario, to avoid potential issues, use the Browse Certificates<\/em> method.\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
          3. Click Install<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Install an SSL certificate on the ServerName<\/h3>\n

            A ServerName is the main address or hostname, of your server. To install an SSL certificate on the ServerName, perform the following steps:<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Enter your ServerName in the Domain<\/em> text box. The Autofill by Domain<\/em> button will appear.<\/li>\n
            2. Enter the certificate\u2019s information in the appropriate text boxes, or click Autofill by Domain<\/em> to automatically populate the certificate information text boxes.<\/li>\n
            3. Click Install<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
