  • 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.

Loading certificates

iainh

Basic Pleskian
A small point, but one I believe improves understanding of what's going on...

Under certificate management, there are options to "Upload the certificate files" or "Upload the certificate as text", but then the relevant submit buttons are marked "Send Files" and "Send Text". "Send"??

Surely under the "Upload the certificate files"section, a button marked "Upload certificates" would be much more self-explanatory than "Send Files"? Send what files, where? You want to upload the cert, so why not mark the button; "Upload Certificates"?

Also on the upload section, why not put some advice that Plesk expects a .crt file for the "Certificate" and the CA bundle for the "CA Certificate". It just makes it that much more understandable if you add something about what is expected where.


And then for the copy+paste of the certs, why "Send Text"? Sure "Save Certificates" would be more explanatory? Take this very form for instance. Is the submit button marked "Send Text" or "Create Thread"? Which better explains the action of the button? So why then "Send Text" and not "Save Certificates"?

And as a final note, the copy+paste section is marked: "Upload the certificate as text". Note that is is "certificate" singular, whereas what's actually requestes is the leaf cert + the CA root and intermediate certificates, and so surely this section should be; "Upload the certificates as text" - note; certificateS (plural) as you are saving more than one. It might be even clearer to mark this section as "Save Certificates as Text" as you're not really 'uploading' anything, simply transmittinf form data. I'm not going to 'upload' the comment for instance, I'm going to POST (or save) it...
 
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback. We will correct the text in the GUI in one of our upcoming releases.
