Plesk panel replace self signed certificate


My plesk panel is located at https://somedomain.com:8443. I need to add both https and 8443 in order to properly connect to the panel. However, Google Chrome (and so do the other browsers) warns me about the certificate and I need to acknowledge the problem before I can continue to the webpage. I want to add an SSL certificate to it which is (more or less) globally recognized (so I don't get the SSL error message any more).


What I tried:

  • I added a subdomain in the plesk interface (admin.somedomain.com) and setup an IIS rewrite rule, so port 8443 would automatically be added. I also installed an SSL certificate for admin.somedomain.com. When going for admin.somedomain.com, it redirects me to https://admin.somedomain.com:8443 (which is okay), however, the problem persists. The SSL certificate is not recongized.

What I want (summarized): A properly working SSL certificate for the plesk panel.


Solution

  • You can just upload your SSL certificate in Plesk in Tools & Settings > SSL/TLS Certificates and set it by Certificate for securing Plesk:
