How to create TLSA DNS record in Plesk and adjust DANE?

Answer

1. Create example.com domain in Plesk.
2. Issue a Let's Encrypt certificate for this domain.
3. Log into the server via SSH.
4. Install hash-slinger package with the command:

   # yum install hash-slinger

5. Find name of the certificate file for example.com domain using a command below:

   # plesk db "select cert_file from certificates where name like '%example.com%'"
   +-----------+
   | cert_file |
   +-----------+
   | scfygh0Pw |
   +-----------+

6. Switch to the /usr/local/psa/var/certificates/ directory:

   # cd /usr/local/psa/var/certificates/

7. Using the name of the certificate file from the step №5 and the next command, generate TLSA record for mail.example.com on port 25:

   # tlsa --create --selector 1 -p25 --certificate scfygh0Pw mail.example.com

   The output was the following:

   _25._tcp.mail.example.com. IN TLSA 3 1 1 f8bda51d176a1d315eeec8a53c52febedf43319bf7c7ebbccafa9e14d9616541

8. Go to Plesk > Domains > example.com > Hosting & DNS > DNS.
9. Press the Add Record and using the values from the step №7, created a TLSA record for mail.example.com:
   
10. After install Plesk DNSSEC extension by pressing Get It Free button in Plesk > Extensions > Extensions Catalog > Categories > DNS.
11. Enable DNSSEC for example.com domain by pressing the Sign the DNS Zone button in Domains > example.com > Hosting & DNS > DNSSEC.
