Question

How to revoke an option to issue wildcard Let's Encrypt certificates via Plesk?

Answer

  1. Log in to Plesk.

    Note: In case Panel.ini Editor extension is already installed, skip the next step.

  2. Install the Panel.ini Editor from the Extensions menu.

  3. Open Panel.ini Editor at Extensions > My Extensions.

  4. In Panel.ini Editor, switch to the Editor tab. If the editor is empty, do the following:

    4.1. Download the panel_ini.txt file.

    4.2. Open the downloaded file and copy its content.

    4.3. Paste the content into the editor.

  5. Append the following lines to the panel.ini file:

    CONFIG_TEXT: [ext-letsencrypt]
    allow-wildcard-certificates=false

    Note: to allow issuing wildcard certificates, change false to true in the above line.

    Thanks Leonid, so nothing else needs to be done?

    Currently, because wildcard was enabled for one of my domains, the TXT record changed each renewal. The DNS record needed to be changed for the renewal to go through.

    With this change will this be the last time the TXT record changes & will the renewal go through automatically in future?

    Or, do I need to do something further? I don't manage the DNS records for this domain currently, so getting the TXT record changed every 3 months is a pain.

    Jason Koning This option disables wildcard for new domains. Plesk "remembers" the last certificate type which was issued, means that it will try to renew wildcard one. You need to renew certificate manually by unchecking "wildcard" option so further it will renew also non-wildcard one.
