If you plan to use the automated signup and billing features of H-Sphere for your customers, you will want to secure your Reseller control panel with an SSL certificate. You will need to generate the certificate for "cp.yourdomain.com" with the domain name being the same one you used in your DNS zone under your E.Manager.

To enable your control panel SSL protection:

1. Log into your Admin. control panel and click on E.Manager:

   

2. Select CP SSL Manager in the E.Manager menu.
   
   
3. On the page that shows, turn on CP Alias to enable it in the system.

   Note: If you get warnings, e.g. about missing spare IPs, it either means that your administrator hasn't allocated enough IPs for Reseller SSL or hasn't enabled this feature in this reseller plan. Please turn to your admin for assistance.
   
   

4. On the page that appears, you have two choices:
   
   
   • Generate a temporary wildcard certificate by clicking the link at the top of the window;
     
     
   • Enter your existent wildcard certificate by entering it in the form.
     
     
5. Click the Submit button to install the certificate.
   
   
6. On the page that shows, CP alias turns on. In the Action section you can.
   
   • Click the Edit icon against the alias to edit certificate data or to enter new keys .
     
   • Click the Change icon to change current reseller CP URL to the secured URL you have bought SSL certificate for.

   Note: Select DNS Manager in the E.Manager menu. Note that if you have set IP-based CP SSL, cp server alias becomes a A DNS record.

   Important: After you enable this feature please submit a support ticket to request the SysAdmins restart H-Sphere to have the changes take effect.
