  • 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.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

TITLE

ß and ss in domain names treated as same domain spelling

PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE

Obsidian, latest MU, Centos 7.7

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

A very old problem seems to still not to be fixed: When a domain with an "ß" character exists on the server, it is not possible to create the same domain in the transcription spelling "ss".

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Create a domain like

straße.de

Then try to add the transcription domain

strasse.de

ACTUAL RESULT

It fails, system reports that "strasse.de" already exists (although not strasse.de exists, but straße.de exists).

EXPECTED RESULT

These must be treated as different spellings. For one, an "ß" follows long vowels while "ss" follows short vowels, so there is natural difference in spelling (in German at least). Second, many customers who register the "ss" spelling also want the "ß" spelling, which is currently only posssible by directly typing in the ACE spelling for the domain.

ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This is a problem that I reported many years ago, but obviously it's never been taken care of :-(
