Certain aspects of the behavior of both Plesk and various Plesk
extensions cannot be managed via the GUI, XML API, or the command line.
Instead, they are governed by entries in the panel.ini configuration
file. For example, by editing this file, you can:
- Forbid logging in to Plesk using ‘root’ or ‘Administrator’
credentials. - Hide an IP address registered in Plesk, so that it does not appear in
the interface and cannot be assigned to subscriptions or resellers. - Specify a custom URL for the Extensions Catalog, and so on.
The panel.ini file can be found here:
- (Plesk for Linux)
/usr/local/psa/admin/conf/panel.ini - (Plesk for Windows)
%plesk_dir%adminconfpanel.ini
If the file is missing on your server, create an empty file at the
specified location and name it panel.ini. You can also rename the
panel.ini.sample file found in the same directory to panel.ini.
This way, the file will contain a number of pre-configured settings you
can use for reference.
