  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Question Best Practice for Upgrading OpenSSL on CentOS 7.9 - Obsidian v18.0.54

hmob007

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
CentOS 7.9
Plesk version and microupdate number
Obsidian 18.0.54
I have searched a while and the articles about this are all dated a while ago and I've ended up with little clarity.

As I understand it, Plesk Obsidian 18.0.54 supports OpenSSL versions with TLS1.3, but there is no clarity if this support extends to installations on CentOS.

My current OpenSSL version is OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips 26 Jan 2017 which is prior to the 1.1.1 update which allowed TLS1.3
My CentOS version is 7.9

The best direction I've been given is by ChatGPT but I want to confirm this is correct before I begin the process - namely:

1. Before updating, check your current version of OpenSSL:
openssl version

2. Update the system's package database:
yum update

3. Update OpenSSL:
yum install openssl

4. Check the OpenSSL version again to verify that it has been updated:
openssl version

5. After updating OpenSSL, it's essential to restart the services that depend on it:
service httpd restart
service nginx restart
service dovecot restart
service postfix restart
service courier-imap restart

6. Check if there are updates available for Plesk itself:
plesk installer update

QUESTION: Does this course of action look good or is it likely to fall apart with my current versions?
