Introduction

The Server TLS Certificate secures access to DirectAdmin through the server hostname, such as https://server.example.com:2222.

When the certificate has expired or is close to expiry, a server administrator can renew it from the Server TLS Certificate page in DirectAdmin.

Prerequisite

Before proceeding, ensure that:

• You have a DirectAdmin administrator account.
• You have a valid domain or subdomain for the server hostname.
• The hostname points to the correct server IP address.

To configure the server hostname, refer to:
[How to Change Server Hostname in DirectAdmin Evolution Skin]
[How to Change Server Hostname in DirectAdmin Enhanced Skin].

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Access DirectAdmin

• Login to your DirectAdmin control panel.
• The URL to your DirectAdmin typically will be:
  https://your-domain.com:2222 or https://server-ip-address:2222

Step 2: Open the Server TLS Certificate Page

• Navigate to: Server Manager > Server TLS Certificate

Step 3: Renew the Certificate

• Under Automatic Certificates, click RENEW NOW.

• When the confirmation window appears, click CONFIRM.

DirectAdmin will request and install a new TLS certificate for the server hostname.

Step 4: Verify the Renewed Certificate

• After the renewal is completed, check the certificate using the [SSL Shopper SSL Checker].
• Enter the server hostname and click Check SSL.

Conclusion

The Server TLS Certificate has been renewed. Use the SSL Shopper SSL Checker to confirm that the certificate is valid.
