  • 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 How to whitelist UserAgent in firewall?

New Pleskian
Hi,

I have a small question about the firewall. I use Plesk Obsidian Version 18.0.28 with standard firewall settings: under Tools&Settings / Firewall as well as IP Address Banning (Fail2Ban) and Web Application Firewall (ModSecurity).

How can I whitelist UserAgent in the Plesk Firewall? As soon as a connection is established with HTTP/S, the UserAgent is sent for the request.
Now PostFinance uses the name "compatible; Indy Library" as UserAgent. This seems to be blocked by my firewall.

This UserAgent should not be blocked by plesk and I should add it to a whitelist.

I found under Web Application Firewall (ModSecurity) the option to completely deactivate agents - but how to only add the one from PostFinance to the white list?

Thank you for a hint.

Regards
Ananda
 
Sorry guys - found it. They who can read are clearly at an advantage ;)

Here the info for others that might need it - go to Web Application Firewall (ModSecurity) and 1) open ModSecurity Log File 2) search for the domain that has troubles 3) find the ID of the Agent and 4) paste it in the field "Switch off security rules" to deactivate it. Basicaly it is everything discribed above the "Switch off security rules" section. With me just the ID was not starting with 3 but with 2...
