Just so you know, this is what comes up in Firefox when trying to login to your cPanel (after using Firefox's "Clear Private Data" tool):



When viewing the certificate, you get this:



Now, this isn't really an issue for me since I know very well that Astahost is a part of the Xisto Corporation, but I can certainly see where ganeshn11 is coming from. =^^=

Yea, I got the same thing when trying to login to my cpanel at final-design.net ... Anyway it didn't bother me much. But, then again, it's an issue

I dont really know why no admin has not really noticed this topic and taken some action. Come on man, why does'nt anyone understand the issue which this negligance can make, it may become into a really big one.

Hi, I got the same problem every time im trying to login to my cpanel with internet explorer or with firefox, i really dont care about this and simply i press the yes button to the alert window and accept. Also, this window appears before the login window of my cpanel account.

best regards,

Well, I did a little study on your problem, Ganeshn11, and this is what I found -

The certificate that you use to authenticate yourself into the Cpanel is issued to "xisto.com". But when you log in to your Cpanel, its something like "www.yourdomain/subdomain.com/cpanel", right? So, the browser thinks that someone else is using that certificate to intercept your connecctions. i.e. It thinks you should be visiting "xisto.com/*" when using that certificate. Basically, you do get the SSL security, but the certificate you are using is not in your name. Browsers think they're acting smart, but that's actually what you want to do!

Even when I use Firefox for logging in to my Cpanel, I have settings to trust that certificate permanently, but still I get the warning about certificate/address mismatch every time, so that I have to click on OK to continue. Don't worry, not a security exploit, just a simple misconfiguration problem.

(The above content was NOT put as a quote because I myself typed it in originally.)

Is there a way to make Firefox accept this certificate automaticly? Because I'm really annoyed by clicking the accept button every time! What's more, there ought to be a way to solve this..
