Symantec would like to introduce the new CryptoExec API exclusively for Symantec Website Security business partners.  CryptoExec, a free-to-use API, links cPanel and WHMCS to automate the SSL issuance process to mitigate errors and remove the manual steps in ordering and administration of SSL certificates for customers.  The intuitive and easy to use GUI helps customers buy and install SSL certificates.  Here is how:

WHMCS Benefits

The solution enables partners in the Symantec Website Security Partner Program to utilize the popular WHMCS for billing/procurement of Symantec, GeoTrust, RapidSSL, and Thawte SSL and code-signing certificates and provide a shopping cart experience.  The partner can offer the certificates and Trust Seals through WHMCS. 

One other advantage of the solution is the flexibility offered through the support for either a voucher-based path or a classic SSL-based path. The voucher-based path is recommended for partners who have both cPanel and WHMCS so a customer can buy vouchers in WHMCS and redeem them in cPanel. The classic SSL path is recommended for partners who use WHMCS but not cPanel. 

cPanel Benefits

CryptoExec can also be used within cPanel, the popular control panel solution for hosting providers. Partners can utilize this solution to redeem vouchers purchased through WHMCS and automatically install all SSL certificate types without any manual intervention.

Through cPanel, the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) generation is completely automated for partners who support both WHMCS and cPanel.  Additionally, the end customer will see live status messages on the progress of the certificate’s validation and installation.  cPanel will also provide a list of existing Symantec SSL certificates and the details related to each certificate. Through CryptoExec the complete lifecycle of an SSL certificate is covered; users can reissue, revoke and renew all SSL certificates through this solution.
