Step 1 - Log into WHM and find the Manage AutoSSL option.



As of v114 Let's Encrypt will be installed and selected by default. In older versions of cPanel, you would only have the Sectigo provider and Let's Encrypt would need to be manually installed and selected.
We would recommend using Let's Encrypt as it is more reliable and has less limitations.




Step 2 - To install an SSL certificate on all domains/subdomains just click the Run AutoSSL For All Users button. Note that the process can take up to an hour to complete.




If you have an old Extended Validation or Organisation Validated SSL certificate that you want to replace with a standard Auto SSL Certificate, click the options menu, tick the "Allow AutoSSL to replace invalid or expiring non-AutoSSL certificates." option and hit Save.

You can also change individual AutoSSL settings on a per cPanel account basis from the Manage Users. Note that this will overwrite the package/feature value.
