Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Associating SSL Certificate To A Site Using CLI
May 27, 2015
When using `plesk bin --update domain.example.com -certificate-name 'certificate'`, Plesk always returns `Unable to find certificate`, I have verified the certificate exists using `plesk bin certificate -l -admin` and the spelling of the certificate name is correct. I can use the WebUI to associate the certificate to the site and have verified it works, however I need to automate this task.
Also, the online documentation for the `plesk bin site` command does not mention the `-certificate-name` option, however it is listed when running `plesk bin site -h`.
The documentation missing the information is found here: [URL] ....
I have issue with qmail server. I want to update ssl certificate and for this i have replaced older servercert.pem with new servercert.pem file in /var / qmail/ control/. and restart service of qmail using qmailctl restart.But after updating this certificate my web browser still showing older certificate details.
I installed a new ssl certificate, changed it to be default and secure Plesk, switched the IP to use it. Now I wanted to remove the old one but it shows me that there is still one usage of this cert and I can't remove it. But how can I find what is using it?
I tried to remove the ssl certificate but although I have removed it from the IP I'm getting an error that it is still assigned to it. The solution in [URL] .... didn't work cause the Certificate field is grey out in my case.
I am replacing the default certificate in Plesk so that customers do not get a certificate warning when visiting the panel login page.
I've created the certificate in the "SSL Certificates" section made it default and used it to secure Plesk. However I've still got all the existing domains using the old default certificate, how can I do a mass changeover so that all existing domains are now using the new certificate?
I've updated the IP's to use the new certificate. When I go to "SSL Certificates" in "Tools and Settings", it seems that there are some domains now using the new certificate but quite a lot of the other are still not, how can I get these over too?
I’ve read the documentations of (PBAS, Plesk, and Securing Websites).how to add SSL Certificate to our Webmail? In addition, I need to know, how to request CSR key and install SSL for our mail server in order for us to protect our emails and to use the SSL Protocol in mail softwares such as Outlook? I will explain the scenario in details:
1- We have (www.example.com) which is our "Plesk Server hostname" and a subscription in our "Plesk Server". 2- We have (pbas.example.com) which is our "PBAS Server hostname" and it's not a subscription in our "Plesk Server". 3- We have (account.example.com) which is a "Subscription" in our "Plesk Server".
Here are the DNS records of our domain and subdomains: Host-Type-Data -A-192.168.1.30 www-A-192.168.1.30 mail-A-192.168.1.30 pbas-A-192.168.1.31 account-A-192.168.1.32 -MX-example.com.
how to generate CSR key for each domain/subdomain and how to install the SSL for it? Our "Plesk" is 11.5 and installed on CentOS 6.4.
I'm running Parallels Plesk 12 on Debian GNU/Linux 7.6...I have a valid certificate for my mail server : mail.mydomain.tld but I don't find the place in Plesk 12 to put it.
My System: Ubuntu 12.04 Plesk 12.0.18 Update #18 Only Webserver no mail
What I want: I have an old sha1 certificate and I would change this for the whole server.
What I have done so far: I have already uploaded the new sha256 certificate with a new private key to plesk (I can not simply replace the old one, plesk does not allow me to upload a new private key).
Then I set the new certificate as standard certificate and pressed the "secure pannel" button.
After that the panel uses the new certificate.
Then I set in "Tools & Settings -> IP Addresses" on both IP addresses the new certificate.
Reboot
But now the "Tools & Settings -> SSL Certificates" shows me that the old certificate is still used 2 times somewhere. But the Interface does not show where it is used. How can I find out where this certificate is used? I want to remove the old certificate from the server.
I've got an issue with the intermediate certificate, I need to provide additional to my certificate. As usual, I created a cert bundle with certs in following order:
- key data (BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY) - crt data (BEGIN CERTIFICATE - intermediate data (BEGIN CERTIFICATE)
And uploaded it successful to Plesk 12 certificate management. In Chrome, it's working. In Firefox not (as the intermediate cert is not provided by Plesk 12, and Firefox requires it).
How to inject the intermediate certificate for Plesk 12?
I am developing new module and installed SSL certificate using following API call.
Request call: <packet> <certificate> <install>
[Code]....
But when i checked this domain by open in browser. the certificate is not installed. After lots of R&D i found that there are option of select SSL in hosting setting screen. The default selected SSL is "default certificate".
I have changed this option to "not selected".
After this changes i have installed certificate again and it is working fine. So is it bug in plesk or it is default behavior Plesk Panel?
Outlook 2013 complains about the SSL certificate when using email. Installing the certificate still doesn't stop the error/warning. What are my options?
Can I install on the plesk server a self-signed SSL cert and avoid the issues? Can I buy & install a single certificate for that one domain and resolve the issue but not affect others. Do I need to buy a SAN certificate for the whole server?
My default certificate expired recently. I created a new certificate "default certificate 2".
I used this certificate for "Secure the Panel"
I went to "Tools and Settings" -> "IP addresses" and made this certificate the default for all the IPs. On the page "Tools and Settings" -> "SSL certificates", it says Used: 0 next to "default certificate".
But when I try to delete it, it tells me: "Error: Unable to remove certificates: one or several certificates are assigned to the IP addresses/domains."
Is there anywhere I can check where this certificate is still used?
My current configuration is: Ubtuntu Server 10.04, Plesk 11.5 and Roundcube 0.9.5 (installed via Plesk as the default webmail application) on Apache.
I played around with an SSL checker (https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/) to test my certificates and I found out that Roundcube delivered a broken certificate chain. It didn't deliver the intermediate certificate correctly. I searched through the configuration file of roundcube (/etc/apache2/plesk.conf.d/roundcube.conf) and discovered that there was only an entry for SSLCertificateFile.
To fix this I added the intermediate certificate via SSLCACertificateFile to the configuration file:
The only problem is that this configuration file is generated automatically:
Code: #ATTENTION! # #DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE BECAUSE IT WAS GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY, #SO ALL YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST THE NEXT TIME THE FILE IS GENERATED.
Any domain using a SSL certificate is switched to the default certificate after each Plesk update?This is starting to get annoying and we are disabling automatic updates due to this error...
I just upgraded from Plesk 11.x to 12.0.18 and was eager to try the new sieve functions. I used the normal Plesk Updates/Upgrades tool to change the imap server from Courier to Dovecot. However, Dovecot will not start. It gives an error about /etc/dovecot/private/ssl-cert-and-key.pem missing.
I have a new Plesk 12 installation. I have configured a domain (example.com) with hosting that also requires wildcard subdomains.
To achieve this I had to create a vhost.conf file with...
ServerAlias *.example.com
This works and I can go to http://anything.example.com with no issue.
I purchased a wildcard SSL certificate for *.example.com and successfully installed it.
If I go to https://example.com it works perfectly and shows the correct certificate, however if I go to https://anything.example.com it tells me the connection is untrusted, when I view the certificate, it shows the Parallels Plesk self certified certificate and not my purchased certificate.
I created a vhost_ssl.conf with
ServerAlias *.example.com ServerAlias *.example.com:443 #tried with and without this line
If I add an exception in the browser, then I am taken to the correct place, albeit with the incorrect certificate.
Of course I have executed httpdmng --reconfigure-domain example.com and also tried a full reboot.
In summary:
http://example.com - works
http://anything.example.com - works
https://example.com works with my certificate
https://anything.example.com has Parallels certificate but routes to correct page

I've written a script to send property data to rightmove.co.uk as part of their new automated data feed. However they require a secure connection to their systems when posting the data. They have provided me with a .pem file which is a security certificate. I need to install this on my plesk server but where to start as most certificates require a private key and the actual certificate. The private key I have been provided is only an 8 charter string, like a password.
I have plans of introducing a website so that I can start my online business. The site will be dealing in computer accessories and all the hardware stuff that is related to the computer field with an online purchase facility. But, before that I would like to know the pre-requisites that are needed to run a website of your own that has an online payment option, as I was informed about the SSL certificate issues by my developer and would like to know more on this from you people.
In theory i kind of understand, but just want to know what is involed in implimenting SSl to a site.
I need SSL on a website which is hosted on a shared hosting server. I know I will need a dedicated IP address a then purchase a certificate from a company.
would i have to install that on my account or would my host have to do it for me?
I recently had to uninstall WordPress from a blog of mine. The whole thing was down for a while and then I reinstalled WordPress but I'm trying to get the new install to recognize the prior install's database. I have done a lot of poking around and haven't been able to find the answer. I have also contacted the hosting service's customer support and they did respond with a quick answer but it was also a little too vague (or I might just not be understanding it right... but I think I am; I think it was good information they sent but probably just not enough good information).
i've installed this shared SSL certificate on my server for a domain. now the weird thing is when i go to [url]it redirects to the site which owns the SSL certificate.
any idea how to either disable https access for everything else, or just now have it redirect to that site?
