Use Lets Encrypt to secure panel

[MikkyX2]

Hi,
I've installed the Lets Encrypt extension for 12.5 and it's great - but I was wondering if there was a way to use it to generate a certificate to secure the panel? I have my Plesk install on a particular hostname but the extension only lets you generate certs for domains on the box - so I added my host as a domain, and used the extension to add an LE SSL to that.

However, if I go to https://<hostname>:8443/ I still get the self signed default cert, and if I go to Tools & Settings > SSL Certificates, the domain SSLs don't appear in this list so I can't pick one of those.

I could probably copy the LE SSL from my domain into Tools & Settings but I'd need to do this manually every time the cert renews.

Is there another way?

You can encrypt Plesk admin panel:

Hi,
Thanks for the link - I don't have the option in the screenshot you linked directly to, but I was able to make it happen via one of the other comments in that discussion. Thanks!

You have to add the exact Hostname as Domain. Then you have this option. Hope that helps.
