Installation and Configuration

In this section we will show you how to properly install and configure your InterNetX SSL for WHMCS. For general information see WHMCS Documentation Home: http://docs.whmcs.com/Main_Page

1. Upload plugin files to your server into your root WHMCS directory.

2. Now, you have to set up your product in the Admin Area. Go to the Setup > Products/Services > Products/Services and create a new group for TLS/SSL through pressing "Create a New Group".

3. Afterwards, fill "Product Group Name" field and press "Save Changes".

4. The next step is to create your products. To do so, go to Products/Services and press "Create a New Product".

5. Now choose previously created Product Group, type your "Product Name" and press "Continue".

6. At the Details tab deselect "Require Domain". (The "Domain" field will be created later.)




7. In the “Pricing" tab select “One Time” or "Recurring" according to your needs, enter your prices and check “Enable”:

In addition you can use “Configurable Options” to let the client select the lifetime and the respective price. For the client it looks like this:


→ To enable the “Configurable Options”, create a “New Group” by selecting Setup > Product/Services > Configurable Options and clicking "Create a New Group“.
→ Select an assigned certificate and click "Save Changes".


→ Then click "Add New Configurable Option“ 

→ This will open a new window with the "Configurable Options“.

→ Enter the "Option Name" "lifetime|Lifetime (months)“ and select the "Option Type" radio.

→ Add an "Option" e.g. "12" for 12 months. Repeat this step for e.g. "24" and "36" months.

→ Define prices for the assigned certificate and click "Save Changes":


Repeat these steps for each certificate and its pricing/lifetime.

Important Note:

If you switched from standard pricing to “Configurable Option Pricing”, you need to set the product pricing back to zero to avoid doubled prices!



You may need to check the settings for "Currencies", e.g. dot or comma separated prices:


For further information on “Configurable Options” see: http://docs.whmcs.com/Addons_and_Configurable_Options

8. In the “Module Settings” tab select "InterNetX_SSL" from the “Module Name” dropdown menu and click "Save Changes".

Now you can configure your product and it's connection to the API. Fill in the “Host”, “Username”, “Password” and “Context” fields with your API connection details.

The regular InterNetX API URL is: gateway.autodns.com/. The “SSL Context” usually is 9. The client can change the "Software" later on himself during the order process in the Client Area.

9. Click "Custom Fields“ in order to generate a custom field for the domain name, which allows the input of the TLS/SSL domain name during the order process in the Client Area.
