How the module works

...

When the SSL certificate has been ordered by the SSL module that supports automation, then the module automatically performs certificate verification:

  • DNS verification:
    • the module checks if the client has a hosting account with the domain for which the certificate was ordered and which uses the module that supports SSL automation
    • the module checks if the client has a DNS service that has the zone for which the certificate was ordered
    • the module automatically adds the record needed to verify the certificate
  • HTTP verification:
    • the module checks if the client has a hosting account with the domain for which the certificate was ordered and which uses the module that supports SSL automation
    • the module automatically uploads the verification file to the location specified by the SSL module

...

For automation to work in the Plesk module it is necessary to add an extension in the Plesk modulePlesk DNS Helper.
