  • 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 Installing a *.p7b SSL certificate using Onyx 17

ChananZ

New Pleskian
Is there a way to upload an SSL Certificate in PKCS#7 format (*.p7b file)?
There're text boxes for *.crt and *-ca.crt files.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
To note, our server is Windows Server 2012. Plesk Onyx version is 17.8.11.

The only way I could resolve the issue with the *.p7b file was to get the certificate prepared for the Apache server type (selecting "HTML Server" type).
Our certificate was issued by Thawte in this case.

The Apache certificate files included the required files for Onyx (*.crt and *-ca.crt).

You live and you learn.
 
There are third party tools to do just that. I usually use OpenSSL tool that comes with OpenVPN, as I use OpenVPN quite frequently on multiple machines.
If you have it installed, you can try to run something like:

openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -in certificate.p7b -out certificate.cer

Alternatively, in Windows you can usually also just double-click the .p7b file - a window will appear with the contents of the .p7b container, where you can browse through the certificates contained within and export each one individually to a separate file in a format you select. Just double-click the certificate and click Copy to file in the Details tab.
