ServiceProxy

Add cPanel account service proxying

This function lets you configure a cPanel account's service proxying.

Note:

  • If the Web Server role is active on the server, this function rebuilds the user's web virtual hosts (vhosts) and restarts the web server.
  • If the system cannot rebuild the user's vhosts, the API call will still succeed. However, the function returns a failure warning in the metadata.
  • To remove an account's service proxying, use the UAPI unset_all_service_proxy_backends function.
