Configurable Options
The module enables you to set up configurable options allowing clients to define the products they order.
Below you can find the list of configurable options with descriptions of how they will affect an order:
Certificate Type - allows client to choose from types provided in configuration, a chosen type will overwrite configuration in 'Module Settings' .
Years - client can choose the amount of years when certificate is valid. Make sure you will not exceed the maximum number of years for a particular certificate.
Maximum number of years for a particular certificate type can be found after a brand name followed by '| ' on the 'Certificate Type' in 'Module Settings' tab.
Servers Count - (required for Thawte and most of VeriSign certificates) if applicable, its range stretches from 1 to 500.
SAN Count - (SAN certificates only) client can define the maximum number of domains supported by a certificate.
|
1. Let's create configurable options group containing each one of presented configurable options.

The first part concerns system name of an option (or value) while the second part is a name under which option will be visible for client.'
|
6. Now, let's order a product using previously created configurable options.
As you can see, using configurable option allows you to use fewer product while still allowing a full customization of the product.
|
cPanel Integration
To enable the selling of certificates with Servertastic SSL For cPanel module, configure the generation of tokens using the module in WHMCS.
In this way, WHMCS will bill customers for the ordered certificates and generate tokens, which can then be used by customers to add their certificates in cPanel.
To start selling tokens for cPanel certificates you need to add a new product in the same way as described in the 'Configuration of Product' section.
Select the 'ServerTasticToken' from the module settings, enter your 'API Kay' found in step 9 and save the settings.
|
|
After saving the settings in 'Product Type' dropdown, available certificates will appear.
Note: If you are using test API key, first make sure that the 'Use test API' option is enabled.
Then set the remaining options corresponding to the selected certificate:
- SAN Values - enter how many domain names can protected with a single certificate. Make sure it is supported by the selected type of certificate.
- Server Count - enter how many different servers can indicate the domains protected by the certificate. Make sure it is supported by the selected type of certificate.
- Management Page Link - Specify the address at which the customer will be able to see the generated certificate directly in the 'Servertastic' panel.
- Show Order Management Page link - select whether you want to show your customers a direct link to the certificate in the 'Servertastic' panel.
Finally, save the changes and do not forget to generate 'Custom Field' and 'Email Template' .
|
|
| After placing an order for a configured product, the customer will have access to the generated 'certificate token' , its 'status' and a direct link to the order at 'Servertastic' panel (if that option has been enabled).
|
The client should then copy the token and complete the certificate configuration directly in the cPanel.
These steps are described on the Servertastic SSL For cPanel wiki.
|
Tips
1. When you press 'Renew' button in the admin area ('Client Profile → Products/Services') , a new order for selected domain will be created.
- The admin can place it as 'Renewal' order type but only 90 days before the expiration date.
|
Common Problems
| 1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports.
