Securing Connections with the SSL It! Extension – Customizing the list of SSL/TLS certificates offered by SSL It!

By default, when you want to secure a domain with an SSL/TLS certificate
and go to SSL It!, you see four SSL/TLS certificates
from various CAs available for installation. But there are more.

SSL It! has a list of SSL/TLS certificates
available for installation.
You can choose which of them will be visible
in the SSL It! interface for you, your customers, and resellers.
You can do so in the SSL It! interface or via the CLI.

(Via the SSL It! interface) To customize the list of SSL/TLS certificates available for installation in SSL It!:

Go to Extensions > the “My Extensions tab” > click Open next to SSL It!.
Next to “SSL/TLS Certificates”, click “Configure”.
Select the desired SSL/TLS certificates and then click Save.

You, your customers, and resellers will now see only the selected certificates in the SSL It! interface.

(Via the CLI) To customize the list of SSL/TLS certificates available for installation in SSL It!:

Connect to the Plesk server via SSH
and run the following command
to get the full list of available SSL/TLS certificates:
```
plesk ext sslit --product -list
```
Copy the vendor and the product IDs of the SSL/TLS certificate that you want to add to the list or remove from it.
To customize the list of SSL/TLS certificates, use the CLI commands of the following patterns:
- To add an SSL/TLS certificate to the list:
```
plesk ext sslit --product -add -vendor <vendor-ID> -product <product-ID>
```
- To remove an SSL/TLS certificate from the list:
```
plesk ext sslit --product -remove -vendor <vendor-ID> -product <product-ID>
```
- To reset the list of SSL/TLS certificates to defaults:
```
plesk ext sslit --product -reset-to-defaults
```
For example, if you want to add the ssl-web-server-ev certificate from Thawte to the list, run the following command:
```
plesk ext sslit --product -add -vendor symantec.thawte -product ssl-web-server-ev
```
Repeat the commands described above multiple times until you get the desired list of available SSL/TLS certificates.
