Market Provider Manager Print this Article
Overview:
The Market Provider Manager interface allows you to select the certificate providers that you wish to appear in the cPanel Market. cPanel’s SSL/TLS Wizard interface (cPanel >> Home >> Security >> SSL/TLS Wizard) displays the products available through providers in the cPanel Market.
To collect any commissions from a cPanel Market provider that supports commissions, server administrators must perform the following actions:
-
Link their WHM account to a valid cPanelID.
-
Enter their email address under the cPanel Store Configuration tab.
Your users must possess a valid cPanelID in order to purchase SSL certificates through cPanel’s SSL/TLS Wizard interface (cPanel >> Home >> Security >> SSL/TLS Wizard).
Manage providers
Click the Providers tab to list available SSL certificate providers and a set of actions for each provider.
- To allow your users to purchase certificates through a provider, set the appropriate toggle to the Enable setting.
- To disable the provider, set the appropriate toggle to the Disable setting.
Note:
If you disable a provider, that provider’s certificates remain active on the server. The server sends alerts as the expiration date for the certificate or certificates approach. However, the server does not automatically renew the certificates on behalf of the customer.
-
The customer can replace existing certificates with ones from the provider or providers that you allow in this interface.
-
If the customer wishes to use the same provider, they need to purchase the certificates directly from the provider and install the certificates manually.
