Question How to solve plesk and cloudflare ssl auto issue conflict

[vikK]

Server operating system version

ubuntu

Plesk version and microupdate number

Version 18.0.44 Update #3

For one of my site cloudflare is also using Letencrypt CA to issue universal certificate which requires _acme-challenge validation. Plesk also uses the same method for ssl issuing verification.

So normally I would create a _acme-challenge NS record in cloudflare pointing to maindomain.com and let plesk managed the _acme-challenge. Cloudflare universal certificate was issued by their own CA or other CA than letsencrypt than doesn't require _acme-challenge TXT record.

I couldn't find anyway to change ssl verification method for plesk to non-DNS.

So how do I solve this issue? Anyone faced similar issue and managed to fix it?

Wildcard certificate requires DNS validation. No way around that.

I solve that simply by creating the txts in cloudflare necessary since the certificate validates the txts listed, now the other option is the certificate of origin and enable hsts
