• 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.

Question TLS 1.3 on Litespeed webservers / Obsidian

lenala

New Pleskian
Hi,

I found taht Plesk Obsidian was not meeting PCI DSS compliance.
Looking at /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf I found poor parameters which lead to poor SSL rating (B) :

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
SSLProtocol +TLSv1 +TLSv1.1 +TLSv1.2
SSLCipherSuite HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5
</IfModule>​

I searched the documentation, and only things I found is related to Apache . Since we run LiteSpeed web servers (yes I know LS is not officially supported), looks like I can't use plesk sbin pci_compliance_resolver {--enable|--disable} [<service>] command. So I replaced manually above code with following :

<IfModule LiteSpeed>
SSLProtocol TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3
SSLCipherSuite TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256:TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256:TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256:TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256:TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA:TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384:TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA:TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA:TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA
</IfModule>​

Thing is, running the utility also does some more things (Sets the following list of ciphers, Sets the DH parameter’s size to 2048, etc.)

Question, what else shall I do manually to get our servers meet PCI DSS (equivalent to --enable utility cmd) ?
I'm not sure I can use plesk sbin sslmng either, since it would look for <IfModule mod_ssl.c>.

Thanks in advance for help / advise.
