cPanel API 2 Functions - SSL::getcnname

Warning:

The cPanel API 2 system is deprecated. We strongly recommend that you use UAPI instead of cPanel API 2.

Description

This function lists SSL certificate information for a cPanel service.

Warning:

We strongly recommend that you use the following UAPI function instead of this function: - SSL::get_cn_name — This function retrieves the most secure domain for a service.

Examples

WHM API (JSON)

https://hostname.example.com:2087/cpsess###########/json-api/cpanel?cpanel_jsonapi_user=user&cpanel_jsonapi_apiversion=2&cpanel_jsonapi_module=SSL&cpanel_jsonapi_func=getcnname&domain="example.com"&service="imap"&add_mail_subdomain="0"
Note:

For more information, read our Calls from the WHM API documentation.

LiveAPI PHP Class

syntaxhighlighter-pre
$cpanel = new CPANEL(); // Connect to cPanel - only do this once.

// Get certificate information for example.com's IMAP server.
$get_certificate_info = $cpanel->api2(
    'SSL', 'getcnname',
    array(
        'domain'               => 'example.com',
        'service'              => 'imap',
        'add_mail_subdomain'   => '0',
    )
);
Note:

For more information, read our Guide to the LiveAPI System.

LiveAPI Perl Module

syntaxhighlighter-pre
my $cpliveapi = Cpanel::LiveAPI->new(); # Connect to cPanel - only do this once.

# Get certificate information for example.com's IMAP server.
my $get_certificate_info = $cpliveapi->api2(
    'SSL', 'getcnname',
    {
        'domain'               => 'example.com',
        'service'              => 'imap',
        'add_mail_subdomain'   => '0',
    }
);

For more information, read our Guide to the LiveAPI System.

cPanel Tag System (deprecated)

Warnings:
  • cPanel tags are deprecated. We strongly recommend that you only use the LiveAPI system to call the cPanel APIs. Examples are only present in order to help developers move from the old cPanel tag system to our LiveAPI.
  • cPanel API 2 calls that use cPanel tags vary in code syntax and in their output.
  • For more information, read our Deprecated cPanel Tag Usage documentation.

Command Line

cpapi2 --user=username SSL getcnname domain=example.com service=imap add_mail_subdomain=0
Notes:
  • You must URI-encode values.
  • username represents your account-level username.
  • You must include the --user=username option.
  • For more information and additional output options, read our Guide to cPanel API 2 documentation or run the cpapi2 --help command.
