Typo in the help section of the sslit extenion

PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.74 Update #3
Web Host Edition
Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

[email protected]:~# plesk ext sslit --help | grep webmail
--certificate -issue -domain <domainName> -registrationEmail <email> [-secure-domain -secure-www -secure-webmail -secure-mail -aliases -wildcard -continue]
--hsts -enable|disable -domain <domainName> [-max-age 1minute|6months|2years -include-subdomains -apply-to-webmail -disable-domains-reconfiguration]
-secure-webmail Secure webmail on the domain
-apply-to-webmail Enable HSTS for webmail (Linux only)

-apply-to-webmail does not work with a single dash in the cli, you have to use -- (two) dashes to make it work.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

$ plesk ext sslit --certificate -issue -domain example.com -registrationEmail [email protected] -secure-domain -secure-mail -secure-domain -secure-mail -secure-webmail -wil
dcard -aliases -dane -apply-to-webmail
[2025-12-24 10:29:58.332] 2486556:694bb29627ef4 ERR [extension/sslit] Unable to secure domain example.com via CLI.
The options are invalid: apply-to-webmail
exit status 1

ACTUAL RESULT

$ plesk ext sslit --certificate -issue -domain example.com -registrationEmail [email protected] -secure-domain -secure-mail -secure-domain -secure-mail -secure-webmail -wildcard -aliases -dane --apply-to-webmail
- status: pending

Thank you for the report, @Talistech . I filed an internal task for further review. I will follow-up with more details as soon as possible.

@Talistech , the bug is identified with EXTSSLIT-2263. Thank you for bringing our attention to the issue. The description of the --help command will be adjusted accordingly in one of the upcoming Plesk updates. I can't provide an ETA at this point. You can monitor the change log here.

Hi, @Talistech . The case was further analyzed by our software engineers and they did not recognize it as a bug. -apply-to-webmail relates to --hsts option only. It's reflected in the help:[/ICODE]

[CODE]# plesk ext sslit --help | grep apply-to-webmail
--hsts -enable|disable -domain <domainName> [-max-age 1minute|6months|2years -include-subdomains -apply-to-webmail -disable-domains-reconfiguration]
-apply-to-webmail Enable HSTS for webmail (Linux only)[/CODE]

It can't be used with --certificate -issue. There is -secure-webmail option that is responsible for issuing and applying a certificate for domain's webmail.
