  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Plesk Administration Console Through Firewall

Hello,

I know this sounds like a n00b question. However, I am having some difficulties getting my Plesk Administration Console to work through my Watchguard Firebox x750e running Fireware 9.1.

I have opened all of the necessary ports to the VPS, and my firewall does not report that there were any errors during the session. However, I notice two odd things about this communication session.

1. In my firewall log, I notice that my machine receives a RST command from the hardware node address and not the VPS address.

2. My browser at the Plesk admin login page never denies or allows any authentication. When you enter a username and password (valid or not), the Plesk login page redirects to a plain white page (with nothing on it) and also then I get redirected back to the login page.

These issues happen everytime I try to use the IP address or FQDN to the VPS system.

As far as I am aware, my VZ/Plesk configuration is working well other than this issue. Also, I have ensured that I have allowed 'remote administration' in the Plesk Control Panel.

Any help that anyone could provide on this issue would be nice, as I need to start letting my production users into their new VPS systems.

I would also like to add that DNS, FTP, web(http) and email all work on this VPS. It's just the admin console that I am having issues with.
 
As far as I know Fireware is application level proxy or firewall, so you need to play with options, trying to edit rules.
