Install SSL for domain only?

Hello, Our customer has purchased an ssl certificate and wants to use it only for their website (with and without the "www" subdomain), but not for cpanel/webmail/webdisk/autodiscover. For the cpanel services, they want to continue using the AutoSSL (cpanel-provided ssl). My understanding was that this is how things work by default if AutoSSL is enabled: - When account is created, AutoSSL runs and installs cpanel ssl cert for the domain, including all subdomains and cpanel/webmail/webdisk/autodiscover. - When customer installs their own certificate, it is installed only for the hostnames associated with that certificate. The cpanel-provided ssl cert continues to function and work for cpanel/webmail/webdisk/autodiscover. Is this not correct? I'm asking, because when customer installed their ssl certificate from Comodo, it caused a "hostname mismatch" error when accessing their email. (The ssl certificate the customer purchased and installed is for "www" and the domain only. Not for "mail" subdomain or any other hostnames.)

  In other words... when we install the customer's COMODO certificate, how can we specifically choose what hostname(s) to install the certificate onto? In the cpanel page (IManage SSL Hosts-->Install an SSL Website), I click the "Browse Certificates" and then select the customer's COMODO certificate. But under the "Domains" dropdown box, it shows only one option: domain.com (+subdomains: autodiscover, cpanel, mail, webdisk, webmail, www) How can we select ONLY the "domain.com" and "www" subdomain for this certificate?

  Very first things, When customer installs their own certificate, it is installed only for the hostnames associated with that certificate. The cpanel-provided ssl cert continues to function and work for cpanel/webmail/webdisk/autodiscover This is not correct, when you installed any ssl it covers the all above services you mentioned above. You can check it Manage SSL hosts as well as Manage service SSLs option in WHM, I believe you can customize your SSL configuration from Manage Service SSLs option in WHM.
