Connecting a control panel server is what turns WHMAZ from a record-keeping system into an automation system: once it is done, paid orders create real hosting accounts without anyone touching WHM.

1. Create an API token in WHM

1. Log in to WHM as root or a reseller with account creation rights.
2. Go to Development → Manage API Tokens and click Generate Token.
3. Give it a clear name such as whmaz-provisioning.
4. Grant the privileges needed to create, suspend, unsuspend and terminate accounts.
5. Copy the token immediately — WHM will not show it again.

2. Add the server in WHMAZ

1. In the admin portal go to Settings → Servers and click Add Server.
2. Hostname — the server's fully qualified hostname, not a domain you host on it.
3. Type — cPanel/WHM.
4. Username — usually root, or your reseller username.
5. API token — paste the token from step 1.
6. Port — 2087 for WHM over HTTPS.
7. Add your nameservers, then Test Connection before saving.

3. Point a package at the server

Edit a hosting package and select this server plus the matching WHM package name. Place a small test order and confirm the account appears in WHM.

Common connection problems

• Connection refused — port 2087 is closed. Allow your WHMAZ server's IP through the firewall.
• Access denied — the token lacks account creation privileges, or was truncated when pasted.
• SSL errors — the WHM hostname has an invalid certificate. Fix the certificate rather than disabling verification.
