  • 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.

Can't add a certificate to my website (SNI)

Aileron79

New Pleskian
Hi all,
I've got a root server running plesk 11.5.30 on CentOS 5.8. I've got two IP addresses and several customer pages. I've set up a new domain now which I want to use with a SSL certificate - but unfortunately, I cannot add the certificate to my page. The IP addresses are shared ones, thus I cannot set my domain/certificate to use a dedicated IP address. Thanks to SNI, this should not be a problem at all.

What I did so far:
- Obtained a new certificate (incl. priv key & chain)
- In Plesk => Tools & Setting => SSL certificates I uploaded the certificate, private key and chain
- In Plesk => Tools & Settings => IP addresses I configured one of the IP addresses as shared and assigned my certificate
- Opened the domain in the Control Panel, opened hosting settings and checked SSL support. However, here it says I have to configure the IP address as dedicated IP address before I can select a certificate.

According to Plesk documentation, SNI and certificates on shared IP addresses, respectively, should be available on Plesk 11.5 and CentOS 5.8. So what do I need to do here? There are about 15 customers using this IP address (none of them using SSL though). What happens to those when I set the IP address to dedicated? Does that only affect certificates? Or are all domains disabled which listen to this IP?

Any help is appreciated.
