• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • (Plesk for Windows):
    MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51, 5.1, and 5.3 are no longer shipped with Plesk because they have reached end of life. MariaDB Connector/ODBC 64-bit 3.2.4 is now used instead.
  • Our UX team believes in the in the power of direct feedback and would like to invite you to participate in interviews, tests, and surveys.
    To stay in the loop and never miss an opportunity to share your thoughts, please subscribe to our UX research program. If you were previously part of the Plesk UX research program, please re-subscribe to continue receiving our invitations.

Question Best Practice for Upgrading OpenSSL on CentOS 7.9 - Obsidian v18.0.54

hmob007

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
CentOS 7.9
Plesk version and microupdate number
Obsidian 18.0.54
I have searched a while and the articles about this are all dated a while ago and I've ended up with little clarity.

As I understand it, Plesk Obsidian 18.0.54 supports OpenSSL versions with TLS1.3, but there is no clarity if this support extends to installations on CentOS.

My current OpenSSL version is OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips 26 Jan 2017 which is prior to the 1.1.1 update which allowed TLS1.3
My CentOS version is 7.9

The best direction I've been given is by ChatGPT but I want to confirm this is correct before I begin the process - namely:

1. Before updating, check your current version of OpenSSL:
openssl version

2. Update the system's package database:
yum update

3. Update OpenSSL:
yum install openssl

4. Check the OpenSSL version again to verify that it has been updated:
openssl version

5. After updating OpenSSL, it's essential to restart the services that depend on it:
service httpd restart
service nginx restart
service dovecot restart
service postfix restart
service courier-imap restart

6. Check if there are updates available for Plesk itself:
plesk installer update

QUESTION: Does this course of action look good or is it likely to fall apart with my current versions?
