Question posted in 
I am new to Cpanel and using CloudLinux 7.4.
When adding a new site to Cpanel a Lets encrypt SSL is created in the background which is great, however, I have an issue creating a site where the A records are not pointed to the server at the time of creating the site (for instance, I am setting up a site that is on another server and will point to the Linux server once ready).
The SSL is created but marked as self-signed which is logical since the IP can’t be verified. How can I force the SSL to update after I have pointed the A records to the Linux server?
I am working on a large site currently using an SSL, I would like to avoid as much down-time as possible when transferring over.

After much search I have ended finding out how to sort the above. Firstly, I was wrong about the type of SSL, it is not Let’s Encrypt but Comodo but I don’t think this makes any difference.
On my server the auto SSL is set to run at 3 am but if the change is urgent: go to WHM >> manage autoSSL. Under the manage users tab there is a blue bottom on the left of the user called check “username”. This sends the user back in the queue, in total in took a couple of minutes to update and the SSL is now fine.
I was originally looking at Cpanel site login and not WHM, little info on the subject on the web.
Recommended you to enable auto renew once the SSL expire, its will help you to keep the SSL active for your website.
