When I run autoSSL cpanel inserts a code into the domain's .htaccess file in the public_html directory, in any in any rewrite conditions, such as; RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[0-9]+\..+\.cpaneldcv$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/pki-validation/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$ Once the SSL certificate for a domain has been installed, can these entries be deleted?

  Hi @nivekau Once the SSL is issued it is perfectly safe to remove the rewrite conditions added to the .htaccess, it should be noted though that in 90-days when the certificate is requested again they will be re-added and will not cause any negative effects being left within the .htaccess. Thanks!

  Thanks Lauren. So does that happen every 90 days?

  Hi @nivekau It does happen every 90 days, the only exception is if you add a new domain to the account. Thanks!
