ULX MOTD not loading with secure content
« on: May 12, 2018, 05:28:08 AM »
In the middle of the day yesterday people started messaging me saying that the MOTD isn't showing up anymore. Initially I thought, well, this happens occasionally it should just fix itself in a few hours. It however still isn't fixed. I've restarted the server and updated all the MOTD links to make sure they're https (my website is https and ssl secured) but still nothing, just a grey box. I checked these forums and saw a few posts of people just saying it fixed on it's own or that their website wasn't ssl secure. Using an ssl checker that someone linked on this website along with a few others, it was identified that the page in question had a non-secure image but I've already since replaced it with a secure image. I've restarted the server, made sure ULX and ULIB were up to date, refreshed my dns, made sure the link linked for the MOTD was https again and even tried updating DarkRP. I'm a bit stumped and annoyed here.

MOTD url I've been using just fine since June 2016:
https://tritonroleplay.enjin.com/rules

A few SSL checks:
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=tritonroleplay.enjin.com&hideResults=on
https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=https://tritonroleplay.enjin.com/rules
https://www.jitbit.com/sslcheck/#url=https://tritonroleplay.enjin.com/rules

ULib/ULX versions:
ULib v2.63d (02/15/18)
ULX v3.73d (02/11/18)

Gamemode:
DarkRP 2.7.0

Lua errors:
None

Related issues on the Garry’s Mod issue tracker: #2806, #3388

TL;DR Your webpage uses modern crypto. The built-in Awesomium browser doesn’t support that.

Possible solutions:
  • Move your webpage to a different host (with support for older ciphers, or without HTTPS).
  • Use MOTD Mode 2: Use the ULX MOTD generator to create your MOTD instead.
  • Use MOTD Mode 1: Copy the HTML of the website to a local file and embed all external resources (styles, scripts, images, …) into that file. But that might give you a large file, which can cause problems on its own.

I don't really understand why all of a sudden my website is not longer working on the MOTD. It's been working fine since June 2016.
ULX, ULIB, and Garrys Mod haven't received any updates so what's changed?

It seems like Enjin hardened their web server.

Enjin web server only supports certain TLS 1.2 cipher suites.
Awesomium browser only supports certain TLS 1.0 and SSL 3 cipher suites.
