I watched Rob's view on 3.18b (awesome work btw) and the part about changing the system password to get rid of the ssh error 22 hit home because I was getting said error (even though everything was working for the most part).

So I changed my system password (was overdue anyways), and now my ssh connection to web isn't working? (I have HSTS_SAFE set so it won't even try an unsecure connection (intended). I tried running letsyncrypt and trying the --new-key, --force or --revoke option, but it failed eash time with:

!JavaScript /home/sbbs/sbbs/exec/letsyncrypt.js line 279: Error: Error -44 calling cryptAddPrivateKey()

Thoughts? Did I muck something up? Am I looking at the wrong place? Also, i'm using certbot for my foundryvtt server, same web domain, but a different port. can I point sbbs to that cert or point foundry to the letsyncrypt certs/keys?

Did you try without setting HSTS_SAFE?

Thoughts?

Here's the cryptlib description of that error:
#define CRYPT_ERROR_DUPLICATE ( -44 ) /* Item already present in object */

Doubt it. The cert and key have to be in the cryptlib format.

You can try just deleting the 2 files again and let sbbs recreate them: http://wiki.synchro.net/faq:tcpip#ssh_session_key

Yes, not certain what I changed that caused it to stop. like i said, changed my syspass and cleared the existing key/cert, and I'm pretty sure that's all I did...

letsyncrypt.js is running without error:
9/22 09:36:33 evnt SYNCRYPT Timed event: SYNCRYPT returned 0.

Did you try without setting HSTS_SAFE?

I'll do it now, I suspect it'll work and let me connect without https. I have to recycle the web service, and it doesn't seem to want too without me logging off telnet.

I'll try that as well and report back.

Thanks.

removed hsts_safe and I can connect to http://shodanscore.com, but going to https://shodanscore.com gives me the "connection not private" routine. (NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID)

if I try to touch letsyncrypt after removing the ssl cert/key files I get:

9/22 10:56:38 evnt SYNCRYPT !JavaScript /sbbs/exec/letsyncrypt.js line 279: Error: Error -44 calling cryptAddPrivateKey()

I commented out the lines under [State] and [key_id] in letsyncryt.ini. I figured they'd need to be recreated, but same errors.

*whap* (hitting ball to your court dm)

I think you need Deuce's help now (in #synchronet, irc.synchro.net).

I somehow got it all going. Had to do some... things... restarted everything and it's working.

What's weird is it's saying not secure (chrome) but I'm pretty sure that's because the openweather sidebar module links to an unsecured site or something,
but the letsyncrypt certificate is valid, so might have to bug eChicken about that one.

I killed the openweathermap sidebar module, so consider it unsupported.

It's unlikely to be the problem, though. That module executes on the server and dumps the HTML response to the client. The HTTP request goes from your server to theirs, so the client shouldn't have anything to complain about.

I'll take a peek at your site later and see if anything jumps out at me.

So you are correct, that module is the problem.

The HTML that's being fetched (server side) and rendered on the client contains an image which is being loaded via plain HTTP, thus mixed secure/insecure content.

If you would try something for me, make a copy of exec/load/openweathermap.js in your mods/ directory. On line 74 of that file (in mods/) change http:// to https://. See if it works and resolves the problem.

I'm not sure if there's some reason I didn't use HTTPS to begin with, which I normally would. It's possible that they don't allow it on their free tier or something. We'll see.

I put the file in mods, changed line 74. seems to be working, no security errors, but the problem went away when I added the
HSTS_SAFE option to [web] section of sbbs.ini which tells the web server to just use https:// I dunno. The change is in place,
seems to be working.
