Hi, I have a domain which has a paid SSL Cert, which is about to expire. I'd like to remove the SSL Cert before it expires, and replace it with a cPanel AutoSSL Cert. I'd like to do this with as little 'SSL downtime' as possible. What are the correct steps to make this happen..?

  Hello, You can verify the AutoSSL feature is enabled for the account via the "Manage Users" tab in "WHM >> Manage AutoSSL". Then, under the "Options" tab, enable "Allow AutoSSL to replace invalid or expiring non-AutoSSL certificates". Per it's description: This option will allow AutoSSL to replace certificates that the AutoSSL system did not issue. When you enable this option, AutoSSL will install certificates that replace users" CA-issued certificates if they are invalid or expire within 3 days. Or, you can leave this option disabled, and simply delete the existing SSL certificate for the domain name via "WHM >> Manage SSL Hosts". You can then manually run an AutoSSL check via the following command:
  /usr/local/cpanel/bin/autossl_check --all
  Keep in mind the domain validation process can take up to 24 hours in some cases. Thank you.
