Hello, I got a free SSL certificate from StartCom and installed it in WHM. It works for getting HTTPS to work for administration (). But it shows a warning message about incorrect hostname when I try to access

  Hmmm. Well... I don't understand, for sure... The actual settings are : Always redirect to SSL : OFF Non-SSL redirect destination : Origin Domain Name (this setting doesn't matter for my problem, right ?) SSL redirect destination : SSL Certificate Name (this seems correct, isn't it ???) Logout redirection URL : No redirection. (I don't care about logout, here) And these settings does not apply to FTPS, I think... So ? What's the solution you're thinking about, @Infopro ?

  As you saw, a regular SSL certificate for you server hostname will not work when using the other domains hosted on the server. If you always want them to connect securely, you can redirect them to your hostname by setting "Always redirect to SSL" to On. Clients can use an http connection to go to domain.com/cpanel and domain.com/webmail and it will redirect to the https connection for your hostname and port of the service. If you still want to allow both secure and non-secure connections then you would set: Always redirect to SSL: Off Non-SSL redirect destination: (can be hostname or origin domain Name) SSL redirect destination: Hostname (since that is the certificate installed)
