• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • 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.

MySQL root user overwrite

jas8522

Basic Pleskian
There seems to be a problem (at least in the FreeBSD version) where if any user decides to create the user "root" using the database manager in Plesk, it will overwrite the current root user.

It's not a major security risk as the root privaleges do not transfer to this user, but it is an annoyance as it will basically remove the current root user.

root should probably be disallowed as an available user.

We also created a new user and then tried to create another with the same name, and of course that said "existing user with this name" so we can assume that this only happens with root, as it is a built in username that is not created with the dbwebadmin.

Hopefully this will work its way into the next version!
