• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be 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.

Question how to prevent Plesk auto apply letsencrypt for auto generated 1-2-3-4.plesk.page?

Hi all,

OS: Microsoft Windows Server 2016
Plesk Version: 18.0.28 Update #3

According to Plesk Single Server Post-install Configuration
To ensure that the temporary server hostname does not get in the way of your configuration, the hostname is generated only if both of these conditions are met:
  • The actual server hostname is not resolvable during Plesk installation.
  • You did not provide the server hostname during the initial configuration of the Plesk server (via the CLI using the init_conf utility).

For Windows platform, seems Plesk always generates 1-2-3-4.plesk.page, I guess that since the server hostname is always not a complete DNS based hostname, but just a computer name (e.g. ServerA), so that at the beginning actual server hostname is always not resolvable.

Secondly, once I fresh install Plesk with letsencrypt, Plesk already applied letsencrypt for the auto generated hostname 1-2-3-4.plesk.page, it doesn't give me a chance to run the init_conf utility to set a hostname.

If it is Plesk for Linux, there is no such problem, once I fresh install Plesk with letsencrypt, Plesk is still using a self-generated SSL, I can run init_conf utility to set a hostname and finally no 1-2-3-4.plesk.page is generated.

May I know how to prevent Plesk for Windows to automatically apply letsencrypt for the auto generated hostname 1-2-3-4.plesk.page?
