Does anyone know how to secure the DirectAdmin login? I have a wildcard SSL. The certificate support group said that I need to run DirectAdmin from a secured sub-domain. For example something like this: https://DirectAdmin.securedname.com. Does anyone know how to do this?
 
error loading certificate

Restart of DA gives me: error loading certificate

These contain the correct SSL info and permissions are set right (600):
cacert=/usr/local/directadmin/conf/cacert.pem
cakey=/usr/local/directadmin/conf/cakey.pem
carootcert=/usr/local/directadmin/conf/carootcert.pem (i'm using the bundle cert for this.)

Cert won't load with or without carootcert.

SSL=1
forcehostname=server.example.com
server is a sub-domain of example.com

wildcard cert is for *.example.com
others sites successfully secured as https://site1.example.com, https://site2.example.com, etc
