I secured my panel with a Lets Encrypt! certificate, but it did not automatically renew, and it expired and now my panel is not secured, but SA says it is. Is there a command line I can run to re-secure my panel?

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.

Hi BizMarquee,
Since Plesk Onyx, Plesk provides the following wiki - article for your question:
Could you pls. explain, what "SA" should stand for? You should consider to refrain from abbreviations, because due to national and international differences such abbreviations can lead to misunderstandings.
Since Plesk Onyx, Plesk provides the following wiki - article for your question:
=> Secure Plesk Panel · plesk/letsencrypt-plesk Wiki · GitHub
... and with the newest Plesk Let's Encrypt Extensions, you should consider to inspect Let's Encrypt issues in your "panel.log".

I'm having the same problem. My secured sites worked for 3 months and than expired. They were renewed as I can see using
where I can read:
But the expired sites still show the privacy error page (NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID)
A manual renew also didn't work (which is not surprising as it seems that the cert files have the right dates)
Code:
openssl x509 -in cert-xxxxxx -text -nooutwhere I can read:
Code:
Validity
Not Before: Sep 25 23:53:00 2017 GMT
Not After : Dec 24 23:53:00 2017 GMTBut the expired sites still show the privacy error page (NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID)
A manual renew also didn't work (which is not surprising as it seems that the cert files have the right dates)

Hi WielM,
pls. have a look at your "panel.log" ( => /usr/local/psa/admin/logs/panel.log - /var/log/plesk/ ), as Let's Encrypt logs its actions there. If you desire help for further investigations, pls. consider to post the corresponding entries from your logs, so that people willing to help you have something to start with their investigations.
Additional informations:

Sometimes, it is as well a good idea to change the log - level ( TEMPORARILY! ), to get more informations in Plesk - log - files:

Solved!
Obviously, the renew process restarts apache and nginx. The nginx restart failed during restart (didn't pass the config-test) and therefore the old instance of nginx kept running, with the old certificate information! After repairing the nginx config, the renewed certificate became active after an nginx daemon restart.
Maybe you have the same problem, BizMarquee?
