• 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.

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.
