Disallow /cpanel, /webmail to be redirected to ssl/tls ports (2083, 2096)
If you are getting certificate errors while you are trying to visit http://domain/cpanel, the most probable reason is that the error is regarding the issuer. That is most people usages self-signed SSL certificates for the services. The error is not a big issue comparing to the benefits of using secured over Non-secured connections. However, for some reason, if you need to skip this page and you don’t want to redirect to SSL connection, you can do so by simple modification in WHM’s tweak settings.
- Login to WHM as root
- Click Tweak Settings from leftside menu
- Go to Redirection section of the tweak settings page.
- Uncheck the check box beside the line:
Always redirect users to the ssl/tls ports when visiting /cpanel, /webmail, etc. - Hit the Save button at the end of the page.
That’s it.You will no more be redirected to secure connection and won’t the see the certificate error anymore.
From Shell:
You can do the same from shell.
- SSH to server as root
- Open the file /var/cpanel/cpanel.config in your favorite command line editor. For example:
vi /var/cpanel/cpanel.config - Find the line alwaysredirecttossl
- Set its value to 0 that is alwaysredirecttossl=0
- Save and exit (:x)
You are done.
