Panel Login - How to generate a valid SSL certificate?

[izsegel]

Dear Sir or Madame,

after installation i get back an error message when i try to sign in.
How can i generate a valid SSL certificate to prevent this error message? Everytime when i try to generate a SSL certificate i need to provide a domain name but i haven´t finally one for the login page.

How can i solve this?

Thanks and best regards.

The default SSL certificate you used for Plesk is a self-signed certificate, which is generated once during your Plesk installation. The presence of this SSL certificate is required for SSL connections.
You can create your own self-signed certificate on the Certificates page, or purchase a real certificate from one of the certificate authorities.
To create a new self-signed SSL certificate, log into Plesk as an administrator, go to the Certificates page, and create the new certificate -

Tools & Settings -> SSL Certificates -> Add

Fill in the required preferences and click the button Self-Signed.

Thank´s for the fast reply.

I want to resolve this browser message "this connection is not secured", so i want to buy a certificate from an authority but i can not generate a CSR key because the domain name field is empty. Is there another solution or can i use a secured subdomain as a redirect for the panel to solve this?

because the domain name field is empty

Why? You haven't hostname in FQDN format for your Plesk server?

 

[izsegel]

For sure, i have a FQDN like "server.example.com"
I also have a wildcard SSL certificate for subdomains.

go to "extensions", install "Lets Encrypt".
create a subscription "example.com". create subdomain "server.example.com"
log into server again using server.example.com
create let's encrypt certificate for the subdomain [which equals your servers FQDN]. tick "use for securing plesk" (or similar), don't tick "include www"
done

Hi fellas, this Let's encrypt works just for FQDN domains?

Hi fellas, this Let's encrypt works just for FQDN domains?

Yes, you will see "Requested domain is not a FQDN" error message in case of the problem with domain name.

Hi Igor, i create ssl > Websites & Domains > Let's Encrypt
and its working. sub.domain.com

but when i call sub.domain.com:8443 i got an error. (invalid ssl)

and into Tools & Settings > SSL Certificates
i can't see this SSL to apply on Plesk panel

Any solution?

i would like to use this ssl at least for the panel
