Introduction

When accessing service URL's such as /cpanel, /whm, or /webmail the URL is redirected to the hostname of the server. Here we'll provide the steps for disabling this functionality. 

 

Procedure

You may disable this functionality within WHM's Tweak Settings using the following option found under the redirection tab: 

 

  • Choose the closest matched domain for which that the system has a valid certificate when redirecting from non-SSL to SSL URLs. Formerly known as “Always redirect to SSL / TLS”

The following options also exist for more granular control: 

 

Non-SSL redirect destination  [?]
When visiting / cpanel or / whm or / webmail WITHOUT SSL, you can choose to redirect to:
  •  Hostname
  •  Origin Domain Name  default
SSL redirect destination  [?]
When visiting / cpanel or / whm or / webmail with SSL, you can choose to redirect to:
  •  SSL Certificate Name  default
  •  Hostname
  •  Origin Domain Name
Logout redirection URL  [?]
Redirect user to the following URL (relative or absolute) upon logout of the cPanel interface. (ie http: // your-website)
