How to use AutoSSL on cPanel

What is AutoSSL?

FREE TO USE
cPanel has a feature for VPS and Dedicated server users called AutoSSL. This interface allows you to install domain-validated SSL certificates on domains setup in cPanel accounts

Run AutoSSL For All Users 

• Step1: Go to HOME -> METRICS -> SSL/TLS STATUS or use the search bar on cPanel
• Step2: Once you are sure to use AutoSSL for all users, click on the blue button labeled Run AutoSSL

The AutoSSL feature has the following limitations:

• Certificates that cPanel, Inc. provides through AutoSSL can secure a maximum of 200 domains per certificate (Apache virtual host).
• AutoSSL will only include domains and subdomains that pass a Domain Control Validation (DCV) test, which proves ownership of the domain.
• AutoSSL does not secure wildcard domains.
• If the corresponding www. domain does not pass a DCV test, AutoSSL will not attempt to secure that www. domain.
• AutoSSL will not attempt to replace pre-existing certificates that it did not issue.

The AutoSSL feature includes:

• AutoSSL includes corresponding www. domains for each domain and subdomain in the certificate, and those www. domains count towards any domain or rate limits. For example, if your domain is example.com, AutoSSL will automatically include www.example.com in the certificate.
• Each AutoSSL provider may wait for a specific amount of time to replace an AutoSSL-provided certificate before it expires. For example: AutoSSL will attempt to renew certificates that cPanel, Inc. provides when they expire within 15 days.
• Due to rate limits, AutoSSL prioritizes new certificates over the renewal of existing certificates.
• AutoSSL will replace certificates with overly-weak security settings (for example, RSA modulus of 512-bit or less).
• AutoSSL uses a sort algorithm to determine the priority of domains to secure if a virtual host contains more than the provider's limit of domain names
