  • 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.

Hi All,

The Extension SSH Terminal is great but its not limiting my users to chroot, a user with Linux experience is able to move out of their dir into my vhost dir list all my domains, they are able to cat ssh config files move around on the server as they want is there a way to limit this so that they cannot go anywhere except in their vhost dir and whatever is inside there?
 
Hi!

What option is chosen for "Access to the server over SSH" field? Is it "/bin/bash (chrooted)"?
  • /bin/bash (chrooted) -- /bin/bash will be used to execute commands in chrooted environment. A user will be able to get access to files within its own subscription only. Any applications that are run from within the chroot will be unable to see the rest of the operating system in principle. By default, only basic commands like less, tar, zip are allowed in the chrooted environment. The list can be extended by following this article

Hi,

My Service plans, under Hosting Parameters there's a setting SSH access to the server shell under the subscription's system user and that's set to /bin/bash (chrooted)

But the users that use the extension are still able to cd to where ever they want.
 
Could you please provide more detailed steps to reproduce the issue? I have configured a chrooted environment and checked how it looks from the SSH. Terminal extension. With SSH Terminal, I can see only the chrooted environment with a limited set of directories, commands, etc. The root (`/`) is the domain's home directory.
