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.
Any Other Control Panel
At this time fully automated provisioning is only supported for cPanel.
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.
Admin Available 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
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.
