  • 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.

Password database reuse, AES-128-CBC

Cheetah

New Pleskian
My aim is to replicate Parallels Plesk's user credentials and use them in other application. Is it possible to check the password against those encrypted ones using Python? The password strings look pretty much like this..

$AES-128-CBC$gYaHmLSudopaSnqLhlNpwg==$4ONXDulV7Kp2vS2eelcKijQv3WEhALAOdfsKECiQ5E=

This string is fake, of course.

My aim is to periodically replicate the credentials from database to another, then use them in other applications.

So, how can I check the credentials using for example Python?

It might help Parallels staff to improve encrypted passwords feature if you explained your use case in detail.

That said, password string is self explaining on how to check against it. Much like crypt(3).
 
Just knowing libraries or tools to check passwords against those encrypted strings would be helpful. Dunno where to look at. :)
