Bot crawling not disallowed by default on Plesk 8443

[Chris1]

A client of ours has recently experienced a problem with their Google account with a warning stating that there was an issue with their SSL configuration. We verified that their SSL setup was fine, they are using a valid SSL with SNI support.

The problem ended up being that Google were picking up their domain on port 8443 which was raising a warning as the shared certificate on the server does not match their domain name.

I have since put a robots.txt file containing the following into /usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

I have also advised that the client should contact Google to have the domain removed with the port 8443.

Is there a reason why the Plesk interface is set to allow bot crawling by default?

Oh! I think this should be fixed as fast as possible. Looks like a bug for me!
