Remote access keys

A remote access key is used for automatic account creation scripts, external billing software, and various other applications that need to call WebHost Manager to create, remove, or modify accounts. A Perl and PHP module is available for applications using those technologies - refer to Using the Cpanel::Accounting Perl module and/or Using the Cpanel Accounting PHP module for more information. Refer to the external software provider for detailed instructions as to where and how the remote access key needs to be inserted for their application.

To view or generate a remote access key:

1. Click on the Setup Remote Access Key link in the Server Setup menu.

2. You can copy and paste the current key, if that is what you need. To generate a new key, click on the Generate New Key button.
