In this tutorial, you will find out how to delete SSL hosts and certificates from your server. You will also see how to share a host’s SSL certificate, for users that do not wish to obtain their own.

Here is a tutorial on how to setup SSL certificates in cPanel (WHM).

 

Transcript for Setting up SMTP AUTH

Go to SSL/TLS in the menu. Click Manage SSL Hosts. If you have any Installed SSL Hosts or certificates, you can delete each one using its Delete button. Or you can share an SSL host’s certificate by selecting it in the menu, then pressing Share.

The SSL certificate we chose has now been set as the shared certificate. Now any, user on the server can access their account through that domain.

For example, the user mysite3’s account could be accessed through the shared SSL host as such: https://www.demo123.com/~mysite3/. Return to the pervious page.

To disable the Shared Certificate, click Disable. The SSL certificate is no longer shared.

This tutorial is now complete. You now know how to manage SSL hosts and the shared certificate in WHM.
