• Debian 11 has reached its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.81 is the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

FTPs (TLS/SSL) AUTH not understood

nrg

New Pleskian
I just migrated from a CentOS 5 server with Plesk 11.5 to a new server with CentOS 6.6 Plesk 12.

All customers, resellers, domains, subscriptions and even FTP users have been migrated fine (great tool btw).

There's only one thing what I cannot get to work on the new server: FTPs (TLS/SSL), this always results in "AUTH not understood".

The security and FTP settings are exactly the same as the old server (where FTPs worked fine), so I guess something is missing on the server.

What can I do to have a proper working FTPs with TLS/SSL?
 
I compared both /etc/proftpd.conf on old and new server, and found out the <IfModule mod_tls.c> part was missing in <Global>:

Code:
<Global>
DefaultRoot    ~        psacln
AllowOverwrite        on
<IfModule mod_tls.c>
    # common settings for all virtual hosts
    TLSEngine on
    TLSRequired off

    TLSLog /usr/local/psa/var/log/ftp_tls.log

    TLSRSACertificateFile /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/httpsd.pem
    TLSRSACertificateKeyFile /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/httpsd.pem

    # Authenticate clients that want to use FTP over TLS?
    TLSVerifyClient off

    # Allow SSL/TLS renegotiations when the client requests them, but
    # do not force the renegotations.  Some clients do not support
    # SSL/TLS renegotiations; when mod_tls forces a renegotiation, these
    # clients will close the data connection, or there will be a timeout
    # on an idle data connection.
    TLSRenegotiate none

    # As of ProFTPD 1.3.3rc1, mod_tls only accepts SSL/TLS data connections
    # that reuse the SSL session of the control connection, as a security measure.
    # Unfortunately, there are some clients (e.g. curl) which do not reuse SSL sessions.
    TLSOptions NoSessionReuseRequired
</IfModule>
</Global>

After adding this, everything works as intended.
