Greetz,
Just wondering what everyones plans are for SSLs shortening validity periods?
We use Sectigo but the Sectigo extension doesnt seem to perform ACME style validation

Just wanted to open the discussion.

Hi, @Dave W . Support for short-lived certificates was introduced in Sectigo SSL version 1.5.0 (December last year). The methods that will be used are AutoReplaceSSL and AutoRevokeSSL.

Hi Sebahat,
Can the Sectigo extension be used with a Sectigo reseller account?
D.

 

[Sebahat.hadzhi]

No, at this point, there's no option to configure a Sectigo reseller account within the extension. When the ACME extension is released, you will be able to issue Sectigo certificate through the Sectigo ACME directory. Our team's aim is to deliver the extension by the end of March.

Just wanted to let you know that the ACME SSL extension is now released:

• ACME SSL - Plesk Extensions

If you notice any issues, please do let us know.

ACME SSL doesn't appear as provider for me after installing, even after removing Let's Encrypt. Can't figure out how to make use of it.

Hi, @D3nnis3n . When you navigate to the SSL installation page, is the "Recommended" radio button on? If yes, please slide it off and you should be able to see it.

 

[D3nnis3n]

That was it. Probably it shouldn't be locked behind that when it's the only option one has ...

 

[Sebahat.hadzhi]

Thank you for the feedback. We understand that the UX is not ideal, but given the urgency of adapting to the SSL requirement changes our team prioritized delivering the extension as quickly as possible. There is already an initiative for improving the placement of the ACME SSL option for a more intuitive user experience. These changes will be introduced in the upcoming releases.

Just trying to understand the Sectigo extension a little better.
When a user purchases an SSL via the extension the commercial transaction is processed by Sectigo or Plesk?

When a user purchases an SSL via the extension the commercial transaction is processed by Sectigo or Plesk?

When a customer buys a Sectigo SSL certificate through the Sectigo SSL extension, the purchase is handled by Plesk: the extension sends the customer to the Plesk online store, and payment goes through Plesk. Plesk then places the order with Sectigo as a Sectigo partner. Sectigo acts only as the Certificate Authority: it validates the domain or organization and issues the certificate. Billing, payment and refund questions go to Plesk. Validation questions for OV/EV certificates, such as document checks or callbacks, go through the Sectigo dashboard.
