WHM subdomain SSL?

Hopefully this is an easy question, every search that includes "whm" turns to the service not the subdomain. Brand new install. Hostname: cp01.example.com Using AutoSSL on an account example.com creates: example.com.au cpanel.example.com.au mail.example.com.au webdisk.example.com.au webmail.example.com.au www.example.com.au Question: Why does it not create whm.example.com ? Without the whm domain the ssl defaults to the ssl cert for cp01.example.com which provides a browser error.

  Hello, The "whm" proxy subdomain is only setup automatically on accounts with reseller privileges. You'd need to manually add the "whm" subdomain to any account that's not a reseller if you want to ensure AutoSSL sets up a certificate for it. Thank you.

  Michael Thanks for the reply. I guess I should have mentioned that all the DNS entries are active, and accessible. Also it is the root hostname/domain. whm.example.com.au works fine, other than the ssl error. I created a "whm" subdomain as you suggested. But as I figured that ended up with the follow Forbidden error. I tried adding a redirect on the subdomain as well, in case that is what you meant. but as expected it redirects to:

  Following up. I was surprised that WHM automatically made "whm" subdomains which proxy to "example.com.au:2087" when most cpanel clients don't require whm access. Should this be a feature request? -- Access to whm? (create virtual-proxy/dns/account)
