Control Panels supported for automatic SSL installation
With certain control panels, WHMCS can fully automate the SSL procurement process, generating a CSR, submitting it to the certificate authority and installation the certificate upon issue. This is supported for the following control panels:
- cPanel
- Plesk
- DirectAdmin
For any other control panels, SSL certificates can be purchased and configured manually. Manual configuration requires the user to submit a CSR themselves and can be done self-service via the WHMCS client area.
Landing Pages
The WHMCS MarketConnect SSL Integration includes landing pages that are designed to give you a ready made destination to send your new and existing customers to to learn about SSL and the SSL options you offer. There are 5 pages:
- Overview (pictured below)
- Standard SSL DV Certificates
- Organizational OV Certificates
- Extended Validation EV Certificates
- Wildcard Certificates
These can be enabled as part of the activation process to begin selling SSL via MarketConnect. There can also be enabled/disabled at a later time via the Management panel for SSL in Setup > MarketConnect.
Setup and Configuration
To activate and begin reselling SSL Certificates via WHMCS MarketConnect, simply navigate to Setup > MarketConnect within your WHMCS admin area and click the Activate button under the SSL Certificates product offering.
SSL Certificate Automation
cPanel
When ordering an SSL Certificate for a cPanel Hosting Account, WHMCS and MarketConnect fully automates the SSL provisioning process. The following actions will be performed without any manual user interaction:
- SSL Purchase
- CSR Generation
- CSR Submission
- Domain Ownership Verification
- Retrieval of Issued Certificate
- Installation
In some cases, such as orders for OV and EV SSL Certificates, additional steps to complete the extended validation may be required. Once all the extended validation requirements have been completed, the SSL Certificate will be recognised and installed/provisioned automatically.
Required Permissions
For automated SSL CSR generation and installation to be possible, cPanel hosting accounts require the 'sslmanager' permission. This is a package feature list permission that has to be enabled inside WHM for all cPanel packages you wish to be able to work with SSL automation.

Any Other Control Panel
At this time fully automated provisioning is only supported for cPanel, Plesk and DirectAdmin.
Ordering an SSL Certificate as a standalone product or as an add-on to anything other a cPanel Hosting Account will require manual input from clients to complete the provisioning process.
Upon submission and payment for an SSL Certificate order, the certificate will be provisioned and the customer will receive an email with a link to configure the certificate. They will be asked to provide a CSR and select an approver email address as part of the configuration process. The approver email will be used to validate the certificate request and the certificate issuance.
Supported Client Actions
Retrieve Certificate
Clients can retrieve and download certificates that have been issued at any time from the WHMCS client area.
Update Approver Email
Clients can update the approver email for a pending certificate at any time via the WHMCS client area.
Reissues
Clients can self-service reissue SSL certificates at any time via the WHMCS client area.
Supported Admin Actions
Many actions are available once a certificate order has been created.
Check Status
The order status can be obtained by clicking this button. The order information will be provided in the InfoBox output. It will display the order status within MarketPlace and also the remote order status, so it is possible to see the validation status of the certificate.
The check status button will appear when the certificate status is anything but Cancelled.
Resend Configuration Email
Key Generation Failed You Do Not Have The Ssl Manager Feature Lyrics
The resend configuration email button will appear when the certificate remote status is Awaiting Configuration.
Retrieve Certificate
When the certificate has been issued, the Retrieve Certificate option can be used to obtain the full certificate to be installed. This option can be used should the client not receive the certificate via email
Install Certificate
If the certificate has been ordered as an Addon product with a cPanel module, and has been issued, the Install Certificate option will be available. This option can be used to install or reinstall the certificate within the cPanel account.
Configure Certificate
Manually configure a pending SSL certificate by uploading a CSR and providing admin contact information for the certificate. Supports both Email and File based authentication.
Symantec Certificate Discontinuation April 2020
In April 2020, DigiCert is discontinuing the sale of Symantec branded SSL Certificates. New DigiCert SSL Certificates have been launched that are a direct replacement for the previous Symantec SSL Certificates. As a result, on upgrade to WHMCS 7.10, for users who have Symantec certificate selling enabled, all Symantec certificates will be replaced with their new DigiCert equivalents. Product names for the certificates and pricing will be updated to match the new default and recommended values. You may review and edit pricing after the upgrade by navigating to Setup > MarketConnect > DigiCert > Manage > Pricing.
Troubleshooting
The following are some common problems and solutions.
cPanel: Key Generation Failed: (XID xxxxxx) You do not have the feature “sslmanager”.
This error message suggests that the cPanel hosting account that the SSL certificate is attempting to be provisioned for does not have the required 'SSL Manager' permission. This permission is a required permission for automatic SSL CSR generation and installation to be possible for WHMCS. The SSL Manager permission is a package feature list permission that has to be enabled inside WHM for all cPanel packages you wish to be able to work with SSL automation. After adding the necessary feature to your cPanel packages, you can retry the automated provisioning again by setting the SSL Certificate product back to Pending and clicking the 'Resend Configuration Data' module command button which should be available when viewing the SSL product within your WHMCS installation.

How can I authenticate or unlock my removable data drive?
You can unlock removable data drives by using a password, a smart card, or you can configure a SID protector to unlock a drive by using your domain credentials. After you've started encryption, the drive can also be automatically unlocked on a specific computer for a specific user account. System administrators can configure which options are available for users, as well as password complexity and minimum length requirements. To unlock by using a SID protector, use Manage-bde:
Manage-bde -protectors -add e: -sid domainusername
What is the difference between a recovery password, recovery key, PIN, enhanced PIN, and startup key?
For tables that list and describe elements such as a recovery password, recovery key, and PIN, see BitLocker key protectors and BitLocker authentication methods.
How can the recovery password and recovery key be stored?
The recovery password and recovery key for an operating system drive or a fixed data drive can be saved to a folder, saved to one or more USB devices, saved to your Microsoft Account, or printed.
For removable data drives, the recovery password and recovery key can be saved to a folder, saved to your Microsoft Account, or printed. By default, you cannot store a recovery key for a removable drive on a removable drive.
A domain administrator can additionally configure Group Policy to automatically generate recovery passwords and store them in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) for any BitLocker-protected drive.
Is it possible to add an additional method of authentication without decrypting the drive if I only have the TPM authentication method enabled?
You can use the Manage-bde.exe command-line tool to replace your TPM-only authentication mode with a multifactor authentication mode. For example, if BitLocker is enabled with TPM authentication only and you want to add PIN authentication, use the following commands from an elevated command prompt, replacing 4-20 digit numeric PIN with the numeric PIN you want to use:
manage-bde –protectors –delete %systemdrive% -type tpm
manage-bde –protectors –add %systemdrive% -tpmandpin 4-20 digit numeric PIN
When should an additional method of authentication be considered?
New hardware that meets Windows Hardware Compatibility Program requirements make a PIN less critical as a mitigation, and having a TPM-only protector is likely sufficient when combined with policies like device lockout. For example, Surface Pro and Surface Book do not have external DMA ports to attack.For older hardware, where a PIN may be needed, it’s recommended to enable enhanced PINs that allow non-numeric characters such as letters and punctuation marks, and to set the PIN length based on your risk tolerance and the hardware anti-hammering capabilities available to the TPMs in your computers.
If I lose my recovery information, will the BitLocker-protected data be unrecoverable?
BitLocker is designed to make the encrypted drive unrecoverable without the required authentication. When in recovery mode, the user needs the recovery password or recovery key to unlock the encrypted drive.
Important
Store the recovery information in AD DS, along with your Microsoft Account, or another safe location.
Can the USB flash drive that is used as the startup key also be used to store the recovery key?
While this is technically possible, it is not a best practice to use one USB flash drive to store both keys. If the USB flash drive that contains your startup key is lost or stolen, you also lose access to your recovery key. In addition, inserting this key would cause your computer to automatically boot from the recovery key even if TPM-measured files have changed, which circumvents the TPM's system integrity check.
Can I save the startup key on multiple USB flash drives?
Yes, you can save a computer's startup key on multiple USB flash drives. Right-clicking a BitLocker-protected drive and selecting Manage BitLocker will provide you the options to duplicate the recovery keys as needed.
Can I save multiple (different) startup keys on the same USB flash drive?
Yes, you can save BitLocker startup keys for different computers on the same USB flash drive.
Can I generate multiple (different) startup keys for the same computer?
You can generate different startup keys for the same computer through scripting. However, for computers that have a TPM, creating different startup keys prevents BitLocker from using the TPM's system integrity check.
Can I generate multiple PIN combinations?
You cannot generate multiple PIN combinations.
What encryption keys are used in BitLocker? How do they work together?
Raw data is encrypted with the full volume encryption key, which is then encrypted with the volume master key. The volume master key is in turn encrypted by one of several possible methods depending on your authentication (that is, key protectors or TPM) and recovery scenarios.
![Failed Failed](/uploads/1/2/5/8/125871829/292216081.jpg)
Where are the encryption keys stored?
The full volume encryption key is encrypted by the volume master key and stored in the encrypted drive. The volume master key is encrypted by the appropriate key protector and stored in the encrypted drive. If BitLocker has been suspended, the clear key that is used to encrypt the volume master key is also stored in the encrypted drive, along with the encrypted volume master key.
This storage process ensures that the volume master key is never stored unencrypted and is protected unless you disable BitLocker. The keys are also saved to two additional locations on the drive for redundancy. The keys can be read and processed by the boot manager.
Why do I have to use the function keys to enter the PIN or the 48-character recovery password?
The F1 through F10 keys are universally mapped scan codes available in the pre-boot environment on all computers and in all languages. The numeric keys 0 through 9 are not usable in the pre-boot environment on all keyboards.
When using an enhanced PIN, users should run the optional system check during the BitLocker setup process to ensure that the PIN can be entered correctly in the pre-boot environment.
How does BitLocker help prevent an attacker from discovering the PIN that unlocks my operating system drive?
It is possible that a personal identification number (PIN) can be discovered by an attacker performing a brute force attack. A brute force attack occurs when an attacker uses an automated tool to try different PIN combinations until the correct one is discovered. For BitLocker-protected computers, this type of attack, also known as a dictionary attack, requires that the attacker have physical access to the computer.
The TPM has the built-in ability to detect and react to these types of attacks. Because different manufacturers' TPMs may support different PIN and attack mitigations, contact your TPM's manufacturer to determine how your computer's TPM mitigates PIN brute force attacks.After you have determined your TPM's manufacturer, contact the manufacturer to gather the TPM's vendor-specific information. Most manufacturers use the PIN authentication failure count to exponentially increase lockout time to the PIN interface. However, each manufacturer has different policies regarding when and how the failure counter is decreased or reset.
How can I determine the manufacturer of my TPM?
You can determine your TPM manufacturer in Windows Defender Security Center > Device Security > Security processor details.
How can I evaluate a TPM's dictionary attack mitigation mechanism?
The following questions can assist you when asking a TPM manufacturer about the design of a dictionary attack mitigation mechanism:
- How many failed authorization attempts can occur before lockout?
- What is the algorithm for determining the duration of a lockout based on the number of failed attempts and any other relevant parameters?
- What actions can cause the failure count and lockout duration to be decreased or reset?
Can PIN length and complexity be managed with Group Policy?
Yes and No. You can configure the minimum personal identification number (PIN) length by using the Configure minimum PIN length for startup Group Policy setting and allow the use of alphanumeric PINs by enabling the Allow enhanced PINs for startup Group Policy setting. However, you cannot require PIN complexity by Group Policy.
For more info, see BitLocker Group Policy settings.
