Overview:

The Link Server Nodes interface allows you to create linkages (connections) from this server to another server. You can use these links to perform certain functions on a different server. For example, you can create a linkage to a child server that uses the Mail Node profile. The child server would handle all of the services related to mail for any new cPanel accounts.

The Create a New Connection interface

This interface allows you to create a new linkage. Enter your remote server information in the following text boxes:

• Friendly Name — Create a name for the linkage.
• Hostname — The hostname of the linked server.
  Note:

  You can only create one linkage per hostname.

• root API Token — Enter a WHM API token that has root privileges.
  Note:

  • If you need to create an API token, click Create an API Token. A new browser tab will appear for the remote server.
  • On the remote server, you must select the Everything checkbox in the bottom section of WHM’s Manage API Tokens interface (WHM >> Home >> Development >> Manage API Tokens). Otherwise, the linkage will fail.

To create a cPanel account that uses this linkage, perform the following steps:

1. Click Create a New Account that Uses this Connection.
2. WHM’s Create a New Account interface (WHM >> Home >> Account Functions >> Create a New Account) will appear.
3. Select the Linked Mail Node option in the Mail Routing Settings menu.

The Link Server Nodes interface

After you successfully create a linkage, the Link Server Nodes list will appear. This interface displays all of the linkages that exist on the server. The table displays the following information:

• Friendly Name — The name that you create for the linkage.
• Hostname — The hostname of the linked server.
• TLS Verified — Whether the system used TLS verification to create the linkage.
  Note:

  We do not recommend sending information over non-TLS (insecure) connections.
• Unlink — Click Unlink to remove the linkage.

Click Create a New Connection to create a new linkage.
