• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Issue Is there a way to configure Plesk to use a Windows Authentication login?

New Pleskian
I have a bunch of sites setup in Plesk. Most of them are running MSSQL hosted by the same server. Each database is supplied with it's own MSSQL login credentials. This allows me to connect to each database remotely. I disabled the sa account because it's extremely bad practice to expose this account publicly. According to MSSQL experts, it's a matter of time before a hacker manages to penetrate a server using the account. Also, when I briefly turned it on for about a day, I noticed thousands of failed login attempts from Chinese IP addresses in the even viewer.

While I can login to the databases remotely, I can't manage or back them up using plesk. I tried to find documentation describing how to use a Windows Authentication account with Plesk, but I wasn't lucky. Is there a way to configure Plesk to use a Windows Authentication login?

Most of this is really Microsoft. They could have enabled or disabled remote access on a per login level.
