Password Vault

For all creoline servers, a password vault is located in the server view of our Customer Center. All relevant login credentials for the respective server are stored here after provisioning, but you can also enter your own login credentials.

Please note that changes made in the Password Vault have no effect on the actual login credentials for the respective services or servers.

Prerequisites

creoline server
Access to the creoline Customer Center
Permission to view the password vault

Managed Server:

SSH login credentials for the system user
Plesk Control Panel login credentials (SSO)
Database credentials
Application-specific credentials (e.g., Shopware Administration)

Unmanaged Server:

SSH credentials for the root user
Plesk Control Panel credentials (SSO)
Database credentials
Application-specific credentials (e.g., Shopware Administration)

Select the server from the server overview for which you want to create new login credentials, and navigate to the Password Vault tab. Click the blue Add Credentials button to open a window where you can enter the necessary information.

After you have filled in all the required fields, you can save the login credentials to the Password Vault by clicking the Add Login Credentials button.

The following types are available:

Type	Function
General	General login credentials that cannot be assigned to any other type.
SSH	Login credentials for logging in via port 22 (SSH)
Web Interface	Link and login credentials for a web interface, e.g., GitLab web interface and Shopware administration
Plesk Control Panel	Login credentials for using SSO login via the Customer Center
Database	Database credentials, including the database name and database user

Edit or Delete Credentials

In the Password Vault view, select the entry you want to edit.

You can then edit or completely remove the login credentials in the window that opens.

Plesk Single Sign-On

Using the Plesk SSO (Single Sign-On) feature, you can establish an administrator or user session for your Plesk Control Panel directly from the Customer Center. This eliminates the need for manual authentication via the Plesk login interface, allowing you to centrally manage multiple Plesk servers through the Customer Center.

Navigate to the Password Vault and use the Add Login Credentials button to add new Plesk Control Panel login credentials.

Please note that the Plesk user must already exist, as this is automatically verified. If the verification fails, ensure that the user exists and that the correct login credentials have been entered.

Click on the entry in the Password Vault that you want to view; a modal window will then open displaying the entry’s information.

Plesk Single Sign-On - Create a Firewall Rule

In order for the Plesk SSO connection to be established, it is necessary to be able to connect to the Control Panel API. This connection is first initialized via our servers and then passed on to your browser. For this reason, the Control Panel API must be accessible from our server.

Navigate to the “Firewall” tab and select the Add Dynamic Rule button.

Select the “Plesk Single-Sign-On” group and save the new rule. Plesk SSO sessions can then be established directly through the Customer Center.

Also, make sure the firewall allows an incoming TCP connection to the Control Panel port from your IP address so that the session can be fully established.

Performing Single Sign-On

Navigate back to the server details page and select the user with whom you want to perform single sign-on. You will then be logged in to the Plesk Control Panel.
