By default, all WHM/cPanel services use self-signed certificates and you get a warning while using any secured services like cPanel and webmail access etc. To vanish the self-signed SSL certificate error, you will have to install a trusted SSL certificate in the WHM/cPanel server. Following are the steps to do it. #

  • we will determine the current system hostname upon which we can generate the CSR key. After logging into WHM, navigate to Networking setup >> Change Hostname.
