• 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.

SSL Admin Control Panel With Apache Proxy

I am trying to use a purchased certificate to secure the admin control panel but am not able to get the certificate to be passed to the browser.

I have set up an apache proxy to forward https://plesk.mydomain.com to https://plesk.mydomain.com:8443 by creating a new domain "plesk.mydomain.com" and adding:

vhost_ssl.conf
SSLProxyEngine on
ProxyRequests off

ProxyPass / https://plesk.mydomain.com:8443/
ProxyPassReverse / https://plesk.mydomain.com:8443/

This works fine but doesn't use any SSL certificate.

The plesk setting for Full hostname * is plesk.mydomain.com
I have loaded the SSL certificate through Admin Home > SSL Certificates, bound it to the exclusive IP used, and also used the option for: "Secure Control Panel" with this certificate selected. Rebuilt configuration files with "/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/websrvmng -v -a". Stopped / Started Apache, did the same with PSA.

Am I missing something here or is this just not possible with the apache proxy?

If I use https://plesk.mydomains.com:8443 it loads the SSL certificate fine, but if I just use https://plesk.mydomain.com it does not.
