Let’s go ahead and login to WHM. Here we are in the WHM interface. The domains that you wish to secure with AutoSSL must have the AutoSSL feature enabled in the packet that they use.
Scroll down to “Packages”, and click “Feature Manager”. A feature Manager Interface will appear or select the default page from the list and then click edit. The Feature list will appear.
Enable the entire AutoSSL feature.
And click ‘Save’.
Now if I wanted to disable AutoSSL on the server, I can click select disable and edit that Feature list to include the AutoSSL Feature. This would disable AutoSSL for all packages on the server or if I want to allow only certain packages for AutoSSL to use, I can edit those packages as necessary.
It all depends on how you want to market AutoSSL and sell it to your users. Now that we have set up the AutoSSL Feature so let’s manage it.
Scroll down to “SSL/TLS “and click “manage AutoSSL”. The AutoSSL interface will appear.
The provider tab is available to choose an AutoSSL provider for the server. Select the one that you wish to use.

A confirmation message will appear.

Select the checkbox that allows at the left of each user then scroll up and click enable AutoSSL, disable AutoSSL or reset AutoSSL button.

The system will perform a background check back and posts the results in a log file. Let’s close the confirmation message, click “Run AutoSSL” all users at the top of the interface to run the AutoSSL feature for all users with the feature enabled. A confirmation message appears. Let’s close it.
