Adding cpanel subdomains an cpanel ports to DA

[apogee]

We'll migrate all cpanel servers to DA. We found out after the first experiences that we've to implement some stuff to avoid customer calls / cancelations.

To be exact:
- How to add suddomains (webmail, cpanel) to DA accounts, automatically (and sign the SSL Certs)?
- How can DA be proxyed or redirected to send the users to the right place if the connect on cp ports like 2086, 2087, 2095 and 2096?

Q: How to make webmail.domain.com available, as now only domain.com/webmail works?

Q: How to make DirectAdmin listen on port 2082 for HTTP requests and port 2083 for HTTPs?

A: Just set the following settings in /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf and restart DirectAdmin:
port=2082
ssl_port=2083

If you would like to let customers use just the SSL on port 2083, set:
ssl=1
port=2083

CSF can be used for port redirection, if you'd like to redirect them all. Regarding other subdomains - it can be done in a similar way as webmail. To automatically have them included into Let's Encrypt cert: https://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=1851

I hope this answers your questions
