mstorman Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I've disabled all external cpanel/whm ports and as such all of my clients access cpanel by accessing cpanel.mydomain.com. I've enabled the proxy settings on my whm install. The bug is that since I have the cpanel ports disabled when I click on the Login to cPanel link, it tries to connect to the server's hostname and not the proxied cpanel.mydomain.com. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Ditto, same problem. I thought this was a server setup problem (not a whmcs problem). Would love to know if others are seeing the same problem and if there is a solution. My customers are seeing my reseller company's server name (not good) instead of the server name input on the server settings pages of whmcs. It's like some sort of redirect to the server name is taking place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Can I bump this to see if anyone else is experiencing the same. (This is with version 6) 1) Using the Login to cPanel in the client area, results in the server name being shown as opposed to the proxy name. (i.e. I am a reseller - but in the end, the browser window shows my suppliers name rather than my own). That makes it a requirement that this stops. 2) Using SSL forces the redirect away from my proxy name to the server name, as it has the ssl cert. 3) So, my option is to not use SSL and specify the port manually. However doing that, results in timeouts and before version 6, this never used to be the case. So the only way to connect is being forced to use SSL in version 6. Why? I need to know if this is something that WHMCS is stopping from happening, or something at my server end that needs to be changed/reconfigured. Any thoughts, help would be much appreciated. P.S. I have an escalated ticket request raised on this with WHMCS. Edited August 4, 2015 by Si 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstorman Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 I get it. Not very many people are using the proxying settings in WHM/cPanel. However, my primary purpose of using proxying is to 1) standardize connectivity to servers and 2) Security. I'm using cpanel.stormantech.com and whm.stormantech.com and webmail.stormantech.com. I can then close the default incoming ports for cpanel/whm, and offer a more secure server solution for PCI compliance. Moreover, I don't have to have multiple SSL certs for each sub domain since I'm using a wild card cert for my primary domain name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
