• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • Our UX team believes in the in the power of direct feedback and would like to invite you to participate in interviews, tests, and surveys.
    To stay in the loop and never miss an opportunity to share your thoughts, please subscribe to our UX research program. If you were previously part of the Plesk UX research program, please re-subscribe to continue receiving our invitations.

Question Wildcard certificates depend on DNS being installed

IMHO plesk is just an interface shell to manage the various open source programs apache, nginx, postfix, dovecot, bind, mysql and others.

It does so by merely manipulating their configuration files. For Plesk these programs dictate how the configurations should be.

Plesk shouldn't filter input more than these programs require.

bind fully supports underscore for use in NS records and cnames and therefore plesk should do as well.

Letsencrypt supports it... well they even require it, so who is plesk to deliberately cripple their product over semantics which do not reflect the reality of today.
 
I came across this post because I would like to use the DNS from my domain provider.

I fail already at the NS record at my domain provider.

I have set the following DNS record.

_acme-challenge.domain.de - NS - domain.de

2023-03-01 08_05_39-Window.png

host -t ns _acme-challenge.domain.de 8.8.8.8 _acme-challenge.domain.de has no NS record

The entry was entered a few days ago.
Am I making a mistake here?
Does the entry only have to be _acme-challenge, without domain.de?
 
I was able to fix the problem.

the entry at my domain provider (Primary DNS) must not be called _acme-challenge.domain.de - NS - domain.de.

Correct is
_acme-challenge - NS - domain.de

Of course, this can vary from provider to provider.
In my case the wrong result would be a double domain in the name. so _acme-challenge.domain.de.domain.de
