Question Plesk dashboard url

[saini1987]

hi all,

I recently started using plesk for my websites, i want to know about the plesk dashboard url creation. My plesk dashboard url is <ipaddress>-plesk.page and was setup with the plesk installation. My question is, as it looks like a subdomain of plesk.page domain, how my full plesk dashboard url <ipaddress>-plesk.page is resolving to my server ip address?

How to change this url to other one and make this default url at <ipaddress>-plesk.page fully dead?

Is there any way to password protect the plesk dashboard url <ipaddress>-plesk.page or the new one that you set for your plesk installation?

Thanks for the link, however, i still didn't answer to all my questions like

By running this command: plesk bin admin --enable-access-domain <your_domain_or_subdomain_name>
will be able to replace that default login url ipaddress>-plesk.page with the new one? I mean when i enter ipaddress>-plesk.page, it won't get me to the plesk dashboard.

Name resolution of the Plesk temporary domain: That's done by the provider of the Plesk temporary domain stem.

How to tchange the url to another one: See article
How to kill the plesk.page-subdomain: I don't know, interesting question. I am not sure if Plesk ever removes these and under what conditions they are removed from their nameservers for that subdomain that a person creates.

Password-Protection: Plesk login is always password-protected. Not sure what your question is targeting.

Password -Protection: I know its already password protected, I am talking about an extra layer of security to the plesk login page like we do with the password protected directories. Means upon accessing the Plesk dashboard login url, a login window pops up to enter username and password and if its successful then show the actual plesk admin dashboard login page.....

Password protection: No, there is no viable option to achieve that. You'd have to modify /etc/sw-cp-server/config and password-protect the document root the Nginx way as described in NGINX Docs | Restricting Access with HTTP Basic Authentication . But the problem with that is that sw-cp-server is an integral part of Plesk that can easily change with the next minor update, so all your modifications will be gone.

@saini1987 Do read all of @Peter Debik posts first of all, but whilst not specifically password protected, you can utilise:

The Google Authenticator Plesk Extension: https://www.plesk.com/extensions/google-authenticator/

And / or

**yourpleskhostdomain**:8443/admin/control-panel-access/list (see image) But do ensure that you don't prevent yourself from logging in, if say, you have a dynamic IP address that's used when you want to login to Plesk
