Question

Where do Let's Encrypt and SSL It! extensions keep .pem files for private and public keys of Let's Encrypt certificates on a file system?

Answer

On Linux systems, the .pem files are located in these directories:

For Let's Encrypt extension -  /usr/local/psa/var/modules/letsencrypt/etc/archive/example.com/.

For SSL It! extension - /usr/local/psa/var/modules/sslit/etc/archive/example.com/.

 

On Windows systems, the .pem files are located in these directories:

For Let's Encrypt extension -  %plesk_dir%var\modules\letsencrypt\etc\archive\example.com\.

For SSL It! extension - %plesk_dir%var\modules\sslit\etc\archive\example.com\

    This information seems outdated in PLESK Obsidian.

    The paths aren't present anymore.

    Hello,

    These paths for Plesk Obsidian remained the same.

    This was checked on a test environment with a live domain with Let's Encrypt certificate:

    # plesk -v
    Product version: Plesk Obsidian 18.0.23.1
    OS version: CentOS 7.7.1908 x86_64

    # ls /usr/local/psa/var/modules/letsencrypt/etc/archive/example.com/
    cert1.pem cert3.pem chain2.pem fullchain1.pem fullchain3.pem privkey2.pem
    cert2.pem chain1.pem chain3.pem fullchain2.pem privkey1.pem privkey3.pem

    Hello @Eduardo

    I would like to inform you that directories: `/usr/local/psa/var/modules/letsencrypt/etc/archive/` as well as `/usr/local/psa/var/modules/letsencrypt/etc/live/` appear in /usr/local/psa/var/modules/letsencrypt/ when the first Let's Encrypt certificate issued. 

    If you have issued certificate using Let's Encrypt extension, however no directories there - submit a ticket to us for further investigation: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608509-How-to-submit-a-request-to-Plesk-support-
