• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

[SOLVED] Plesk still sends the old intermediate SSL certificate

Xavier1234

New Pleskian
Hi,

I updated two days ago my ssl cert to secure plesk server, the cert is SHA256 encoded, and the provided intermediate CA is also SHA256, i triple checked.

However, when i connect to the control panel, using any browser, from any computer, the intermediate CA sent to the browser is still the old one, the SHA1 intermediate CA i was using before.

I dont understand why the cert is the right one, with the correct expiration dates and all, but the intermediate is the old one! I downloaded it from my browser to my desktop, and opened it using a text editor to make sure.

How can i fix this? What is presonsible for this issue?

I am using plesk 12 under ubuntu 12.04, nginx is activated

Nginx may be the cause because everytime i try to enter the Cert again, i get a nginx error by email:

Template_Exception: nginx: [emerg] BIO_new_file("/opt/psa/var/certificates/cert-zVohxY") failed (SSL: error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:fopen('/opt/psa/var/certificates/cert-zVohxY','r') error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file)
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed

file: /opt/psa/admin/plib/Template/Writer/Webserver/Abstract.php
line: 75
code: 0


Thank you

Hi Xavier1234,

Workaround is run /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-server

[root@a10-52-63-182 ~]# nginx -t
nginx: [emerg] BIO_new_file("/usr/local/psa/var/certificates/certMGRvdvP") failed (SSL: error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:fopen('/usr/local/psa/var/certificates/certMGRvdvP','r') error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file)
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
[root@a10-52-63-182 ~]# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/httpdmng --reconfigure-server
[root@a10-52-63-182 ~]# nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
[root@a10-52-63-182 ~]#
 
Hi, thank you for the answer, appreciated.

This fixed the nginx issue, and regarding the SSL problem, it's a startssl related problem regarding cached versions of old intermediate SHA1 CA, not related to plesk.

Thank you
