  1. 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.

  2. Add support to the WordPress Toolkit for sites with different "WordPress URL" and "Site URL" settings

    The WordPress settings has an option for the WordPress URL and the Site URL to be different - i.e. the WordPress site files are in a sub-directory. But sites in this configuration do not work properly in the WordPress Toolkit.

    Given this is a core feature of WordPress and one used by a lot of sites, I think support for it in the WordPress Toolkit should be a priority.
    Details from WordPress about this option:

  3. Add Additional Plesk Email Notifications

    Add Native Plesk Email Notifications for following Plesk events:
    Panel User Login
    Panel User Login Attempt Failed

    It can be associated with time stamp, URL, IP, event name, login name.

    For now, this functionality can only be achieved with the Plesk Event Manager and custom mailing scripts.

  4. Add a possibility to allow/disallow "External email address" option when creating mail account

    Please consider to add the possibility to allow/disallow "External email address" option on the "Create email address" screen per application user.

    The function itself is useful, and many customers are using it.
    However, due to security policy of the companies it can be necessary to prohibit password reset by an external email address in principle.

    Since each customer has a different security mindset, it would be useful to have an option to allow or disallow setting "External email address" on the "Create email address" screen for each application user.

  5. clean temp folder daily windows servers

    Windows Servers (Plesk) become slower when the c:\windows\temp folder has thousands of files in it even if you have SSDs as IIS will have to load all those files each time it loads a website or does a task.
    This folder seems to have thousands of .spamassassin files aswell as thousands of PHP sessions files and its not always a permission issue.

    To ensure this does not occur we created a daily scheduled task to use ForFiles app on windows server to clear it each night. This improves speed dramatically.

    We recommend Plesk consider creating this in the panel of…

  7. Add support for the Cluster module in Passenger

    Add support for the Cluster module in Passenger supplied with Plesk:
    https://nodejs.org/api/cluster.html#cluster_cluster

    Currently, when Node Cluster module is called on a NodeJS application configured in Plesk in development mode, the following error is be shown:

    Trace: You required the Node Cluster module, which is incompatible with Passenger, a non-functional shim was returned and your app may still work. However, please remove the related code as soon as possible.

  10. Add ability to manage DNSBL in Plesk Email Security Extension

    It would be great to add ability to manage DNSBL settings in Plesk Email Security Extension because:
    1. The default settings can be not too strict for client needs;
    2. No way to add IPs or domain into the settings I need to improve mail server security;

  11. Make Spamfilter Settings accessible for Mailbox Users

    At this time, access to spamfilter settings for a mailbox are only possible for admins and website owners. Pls make it possible for logged in mailbox users to access and edit there own spamfilter settings.
    It's very important, because on website's with many mailboxes, the admin often cannot support all users in setting up there spam settings.

  12. Implement settings synchronization between Plesk servers for Plesk Events in Slack extension

    It would be good to implement ability to easily synchronize settings of Plesk Events in Slack extension between different servers in GUI.

    For example: there might be special button in Plesk GUI to import/export settings as a file.

  13. When installing extensions, after install, 3rd party repos should remain disabled

    When installing extensions on Plesk Obsidian, those sometimes enables 3rd party repos like Epel.
    It's also possible that those 3rd party repos have newer versions of system packages that breaks the functionality (for example: the well known non-working AWStats from Epel on Plesk).
    It should be able to disable 3rd party repos after the extension install, and re-enable them and limit its usage to the extension update/install only, so no other packages are updated.

  14. Wildcard for [ip] blacklist in panel.ini

    It would be nice if it is possible to make wildcard-entries in the panel.ini to hide IP addresses. (https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/administrator-guide/59410/)

    actually we need to list any IP for some networks, expecially for the docker networks (the default-address-pools should be hidden).

    [ip]
    blacklist="172.17.0.0/16,192.168.0.0/24"

  17. OWASP security recommendation hide php version from web server by default

    I've noticed that in a default plesk installation the web server is configured to disclose php version. This could be exploited especially with a lot of websites running insecure php versions still.

    I think it's not much trouble to implement this simple "security through obscurity" step to not disclose this information and help attackers detect vulnerabilities in PHP itself.

  18. Disable DNS when Subscription is Disabled

    When a Subscription is Disabled, DNS records are currently still served for the domain. When email and/or websites are hosted remotely, Disabling the Subscription in Plesk therefore has no real effect.

    Keeping the DNS records active when the Subscription is merely Suspended seems correct. But keeping them enabled when the Subscription is Disabled is not ideal with remotely-hosted email or web.

    Obviously simply disabling DNS for the domain resolves the problem, but I think it should be automatic when the domain is Disabled rather than just Suspended.

  19. Clone domain files and database

    Hello,
    Tipically having a CMS running (ie Prestashop) requires also setting up an exact copy for testing new features/uogrades/updates.
    We have to manually:
    1) Export/import database dump into a new one,
    2) copy files and dirs into a new (sub)domain
    3) change some settings (config files) to link new (sub)domain to the newly imported database

    Couldn't at least points 1) and 2) be automatized with a 1-click option after inserting some data (ie new database name, user, pw)?
    Cheers

  20. Make Plesk UI WCAG compliant.

    Perform required changes in Plesk user interface to make it Web Content and Accessibility Guideline (WCAG) compliant to support people with disabilities.
    That will allows using all Plesk features for them.
