  1. Add support to Atomicorp rulesets for ModSecurity 3.0 (nginx)

    At the moment you can only choose the OWASP ruleset in the Plesk UI for ModSecurity 3 (nginx). Please add support to Atomicorp rulesets as well.

  2. Disk encryption

    Disk level encryption.
    Similar to what AWS offers with RDS.
    Encryption at rest for the entire server rather than doing it column by column manually.

  3. support algorithm 16 (ed448) in DNSSEC

    Recognising the increasing challenges in these times, would welcome the implementation of the Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA) type ed448 for security and to keep ahead of the curve (sic.) on the cryptographic front...

    interesting tool here too for those interested in checking out where they're up to with browser support (and to know the differences between the different algorithms): https://ed448.no/

  6. Make Plesk Firewall add/change rules incrementally without restarting the whole service

    Make Plesk Firewall add/change rules incrementally without restarting the whole service.

    Now Plesk firewall reloads all rules in iptables when rules are changed in firewall (all rules are added anew). If there is a long list of blacklisted IPs or server is under a brute-force attack and there are a lot of IPs blocked by the Fail2Ban, adding/changing any rule via Plesk Firewall will cause server restart that is taking a lot of time due to a large number of blocked IPs.

  7. Enable IIS option "loadUserProfile:true" for dedicated application pools

    In Windows Server IIS, it is recommended to set loadUserProfile:true for dedicated application pools. Doing so guarantees better application isolation and security for web applications created with ASP.NET, .NET Core or PHP.

    You can find some basic information about this setting in this Stack Overflow answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/17149834/1297898.
    Official Microsoft documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/manage/configuring-security/application-pool-identities, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/manage/configuring-security/ensure-security-isolation-for-web-sites

    I will be pleased to provide any additional information you may require.

    This feature is required for users with the configuration when on the Plesk only mail server for domain is used.

    "A" DNS record for mail.example.com is pointing to Plesk server, when when "A" record for example.com is pointing to another server.

  9. Prevent users to be able to remove files from file manager

    Add the possibility to prevent/block any file or directory removal from within the File Manager in Plesk by the subscription/domain users.

    An example that could be applied is the same as it can be applied already for ProFTP config files as follows:

    <Directory /var/www/vhosts/*/.cagefs>
    <Limit ALL>
    DenyAll
    </Limit>
    </Directory>

    <Directory /var/www/vhosts/*/.cl.selector>
    <Limit ALL>
    DenyAll
    </Limit>
    </Directory>

    <Directory /var/www/vhosts/*/error_docs>
    <Limit DELE>
    DenyAll
    </Limit>
    </Directory>

    <Directory /var/www/vhosts/*/httpdocs>
    <Limit RMD>
    DenyAll
    </Limit>
    </Directory>

    <Directory /var/www/vhosts/*/httpdocs/*>
    <Limit RMD>
    AllowAll
    </Limit>
    </Directory>

  10. Apply SELinux policy for custom vhosts directory

    Currently Plesk has predefined SELinux policies for default location of vhosts directory (/var/www/vhosts). If virtual hosts directory changed to custom one, it is needed to disable SELinux (set to permissive), for correct websites working capacity. It would be great to change transvhosts.pl script that policies for /var/www/vhosts will applies to custom vhost directory.

  11. Disable old TLS protocols in Plesk for Windows

    In Plesk for Linux, Plesk provides a functionality to select the SSL protocols available by running:

    plesk bin server_pref -u -ssl-protocols "TLSv1.2"

    Or meet with PCI compliance with the utility:

    plesk sbin pcicomplianceresolver

    Plesk for Windows doesn't provide such functionality, moreover, Plesk doesn't recommend to disable these protocols: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000360813

    It'd be really helpful and safe that Plesk will provide officially the support of the same functionality for Windows, especially for companies that are requiring high-security standards.

  12. Add "mail.example.com" (mail subdomain) in Subject Alternative Names when option "Assign the certificate to mail domain" is selected

    Currently almost all mail clients (I used) need the server address to be in the Subject Alternative Names on the certificate, meaning if the configured address is "mail.example.com" instead of "example.com", that first subdomain is not present in the certificate, even when the option "Assign the certificate to mail domain" is selected when issuing the certificate.

  14. Separate mozilla tls cipher settings for web and mail

    Please separate the mozilla tls cipher settings for web and mail.
    Sometimes the old ciphers has to set only for mail and not for web.
    Additionally it would be great if the setting could available on domain basis.

    Please see this forum post as a reference: https://talk.plesk.com/threads/tls-versions-and-ciphers-by-mozilla-issue-with-the-last-synchronisation.358066/post-882924

  15. Created Scheduled Tasks (Cron jobs) via Plesk GUI should be registered in the action log

    At the moment the created Scheduled Tasks (Cron jobs) via Plesk GUI are not registered in the action log.

    Also, according to /var/log/messages and /var/log/cron it is not clear what task was created, the name of the task and it is also difficult to understand was the cron task created or not.

  17. Require domain TXT record verification before adding domain to Plesk.

    Require domain TXT record verification before adding domain to Plesk.

    Plesk need to implement an option to require domains to be verified like for example Let's Encrypt with a TXT record with a key value, that Plesk can check on an admin specified interval like 5 mins perhaps, with a self-cleaning feature that removes un-verified domains after X days.

    So as Plesk administrator you can activate the domain verification option on subscription level, that requires the customers to verify their domain, when using the function "add domain".

    So "add domain" should have an initial state of "awaiting verification" before it…

  18. Block user access after failed attempts

    It would be great to implement in Plesk a new feature.

    When there are X failed attempts, in Plesk there should be the possibility to block automatically the access to the customer account (completely or for a certain period of time).

    As per now, Plesk block the IP address via Fail2ban, but this is not the feature that we need. We just want to block the access completely or temporarily for the affected login.

  19. Add Nginx Jails to Fail2Ban

    Plesk has - praise be - increasingly better supported Nginx, now with the option to use only Nginx, which is great.

    That being so, now we need the next logical step: The Fail2Ban Jails for Apache are available, but will have no effect, as Apache is not used at all any more. So we need some Jails for Nginx.

    This is not exactly rocket science, there are plenty of examples to be found on the web, the Fail2Ban distribution has some, and here's an article on digitalocean:
    https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-protect-an-nginx-server-with-fail2ban-on-ubuntu-14-04

    Search for: fail2ban nginx 404

  20. Allow to register all let's encrypt certificates with a freely configurable ACME ID

    Customer has around 2000 domains and hitting the weekly limit for the new certificates. All domains have different ACME IDs

    Customer reached Let's Encrypt support and they agreed to increase limits but require to provide "his own dedicated ACME ID". This feature is required to get such dedicated id.

    This is useful when a lot of domains were migrated to another server and it is required to secure them quickly without reaching limits.
