Hi, How can I configure that users who try to access WHM or cPanel trough the server IP (on either http or https) will be redirected to the hostname of the server? So if users tries to logon to WHM on 199.xx.xx.200:2087 I'd like them to be forwarded to server010.example.com. Same for cPanel.

  Try to enable SSL setting in WHM > Server Configuration > Tweak Settings Tweak Settings - Redirection - Documentation - cPanel Documentation

  Hello rappie, You said: So if users tries to logon to WHM on 199.xx.xx.200:2087 I'd like them to be forwarded to server010.example.com. Same for cPanel. Most individuals that allow others to access their server either as an admin, reseller or client will one day face your issue. But it is not an easy fix, unfortunately. Reason being, many internal and external system services are assigned to the IP address only. Some will not send/receive if they are redirected in any way for security reasons. Another reason is that you could potentially create a loop in your server by system services entering/exiting your server since they use fixed pre-assigned urls with the servers IP. I suggest researching online and see if it is poosible to create a redirect in your Apache httpd file. Make sure to create a backup of the entire httpd file BEFORE editing.

  Hello, There are no options available to automatically redirect users who utilize the specific port numbers in the URL. The options under the "Redirection" tab in "WHM >> Tweak Settings" are available to redirect users to the SSL/TLS ports when visiting /cpanel, /webmail, /whm, etc. Thank you.
