Management

Servertastic SSL For WHMCS allows you to offer fully configurable Servertastic certificates to your clients. Additionally, you have the ability to view certificate details and manage each provisioned certificate.

Admin Area

In the admin area you can view the details of a product and find SSL configuration status. Additionally, you can create/terminate products, resend configuration emails and even change approver emails.

In order to change approver emails (if possible), fill in a new email and press 'Save Changes' as shown on the screen below.

Client Area

Servertastic SSL For WHMCS allows your customers to order and configure SSL certificates. It also enables to choose from configurable options while ordering.

Configuration

A new SSL certificate needs to be configured before it can be used. Press 'Configure Now' to proceed, you will be forwarded to an external page. Proceed with configuration of your SSL certificate there.

After configuring the certificate order, the client will also have to verify the ownership of the domain for which the certificate will be issued. If the email method is chosen, the client will still be able to update provided approver address.

Once the verification process is complete, the certificate will be generated and ready to be downloaded.

Management

On the following screen you can see a successfully configured product. Here you can find provision and expiration dates, and its status.

Additionally, you can download the certificate.

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 clients to choose from types provided in configuration, a chosen type will overwrite configuration in 'Module Settings' . Years - clients 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) clients 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. Start by proceeding to 'Setup' → 'Products/Services' → 'Configurable Options' and pressing 'Create a new Group' .

2. Afterwards, fill out the form with a group name and a description, select products you wish to apply to this group by holding Ctrl and clicking on each of the products. Afterwards, press 'Save Changes' .

3. Press 'Add New Configurable Options' .

4a. (Years, Servers Count, SAN Count) Now, fill in option name, select 'Quantity' option type and fill in minimum and maximum allowed quantity. Afterwards, set up price per one unit and press 'Save Changes' .

4b. (Certificate Type, Years, Servers Count, SAN Count) Fill in the option name and select 'Dropdown' from the option type.

5. Now, you have to add each option separately. Do it by filling in its name, setting up its price and pressing 'Save Changes' for each of the options. Note: As you may notice on the following screen, the name is divided by 'I' sign. The first part concerns a system name of an option (or value) while the second part is a name under which option will be visible for a client.'

6. Now, let's order a product using previously created configurable options. As you can notice, configurable options allow you to use fewer products while offering a full customization of the product at the same time.

Tokens Configuration

Your WHMCS will now bill customers for the ordered certificates and generate tokens, which can be then used by customers to add their certificates in through Servertastic panel or through cPanel integration. After saving the settings in the 'Certificate Type' dropdown, available certificates will appear. Note: If you are using a test API key, first make sure that the 'Test Mode' option is enabled. Then set the remaining options corresponding to the selected certificate: SAN Values - enter how many domain names can be protected with a single certificate. Server Count - enter how many different servers can indicate the domains protected by a given 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 your customers to see a direct link to the certificate in the 'Servertastic' panel. Note: Make sure that SAN and Server vaules are supported by the selected type of certificate. You can find more relevant information on here. 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 finish the order at the 'Servertastic' panel (if that option has been enabled).

Optionally your client can 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 the 'Renew' button in the admin area ('Client Profile → Products/Services') , a new order for the selected domain will be created. The admin can place it as the 'Renewal' order type but only 90 days before the expiration date.

2. When the certificate expires, a reminder will be sent to the customer to renew it. This will be done with the use of the main WHMCS cron and the 'Certificate Expiration Reminder' template.

Common Problems

1. When you have problems with connection, check whether your SELinux or firewall does not block ports.
