How to set up your remote access key in WHM

This article assumes you’ve already logged in to WebHost Manager.

Now let’s learn how to set up a remote access key.

A remote access key is needed if you want to have a script automatically connect to your WHM to create new accounts, delete accounts, etc.

Click the Remote Access Key option in the Clusters section.

The remote access key is a random series of alphanumeric characters. If you copy this key and paste it into a script designed to connect to WHM, you’ll be able to have that script perform tasks you would normally have to log in to WHM to do.

You may need to reset your remote access key when setting up a new script. Let’s do that now.

Click the Generate New Key button.

That’s it! The remote access key has been reset and is shown on the left.

This is the end of the tutorial. You now know how to set up your remote access key and where to go to retrieve it for use in scripts that connect to WHM.
