Avoid domain.com/webmail redirect to domain.com:2096

Hi,

I would like to configure my WHM/cPanel server domains to ensure that /webmail on all domains securely redirects to the webmail login page without exposing the port number (e.g., :2096) in the URL.

Could you please provide the steps to achieve this?

Key Requirements:

- Redirect /webmail on all domains to the webmail interface using HTTPS.
- Ensure the port number remains hidden in the URL

Thank you for your support!

  Hey there!  I don't have a workaround for this issue as that is just how cPanel is configured.  However, by default cPanel has Service Subdomains configured to "On" on WHM >> Tweak Settings, so you could use webmail.domain.com instead, and that will stay in the browser without showing the port number.

  Visiting domain.com/webmail is actually a custom Apache redirect we have configured which you can see inside the Apache configuration with this entry:

      ScriptAliasMatch ^/?webmail$ /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/wredirect.cgi
      ScriptAliasMatch ^/?webmail/ /usr/local/cpanel/cgi-sys/wredirect.cgi

  so there isn't a way to adjust that on a cPanel machine.

  Can you let me know what 'doesn't work' means?  Like I mentioned, there isn't going to be a way to remove the port number, but if you use webmail.domain.com that "sticks" in the browser without showing the port.  Is that what isn't working?

  Sorry for the typo. The webmail.domain.com is working fine as expected.

  I'm glad to hear that's working!
