Differences between secure and non-secure domains

Hi. We're in the process of setting up a server with cPanel. I've configured it to use the Bind DNS server, Exim email server, etc. and created a couple of user accounts to test everything. The problem we're facing is best seen here: .vB We would like our users to see their domain as the Secure SSL/TLS email server, not our server's domain name. In the example above, we would like to use mail.eraxia.com for both secure and Non SSL settings. This problem is not related to ports, just the domain names. Did we misconfigured the DNS server? Can this be fixed editing a template? We'll appreciate your help. Thank you.

  cPanel takes the hostname based on the hostname of the SSL certificate installed for the services. This is defined in the following files in /var/cpanel/ssl: courier-imapd-DOMAINS courier-pop3d-DOMAINS exim-DOMAINS dovecot-DOMAINS I would actually advise you to NOT do what you're trying to do. The reason for this is, you can only currently have one SSL certificate installed per service (except Apache, of course). So if the SSL on your server is installed for cp1.cotel.com.ar, the user will get an SSL mismatch error in their mail client when connecting to mail services using their domain. This tends to inconvenience the user and look unprofessional. It may be best to instead use a generic or whitelabeled domain for the SSL hostname.

  Hello :) Yes, the previous post is accurate. Feel free to vote for the existing feature request that would allow for per-domain service certificates: [url=http://features.cpanel.net/responses/ssl-certificate-per-domain-on-all-services]SSL certificate per domain on all services | cPanel Feature Requests Thank you.
