Issue Key file: /opt/drweb/drweb32.key - Key file was not found / TLS Versions or Ciphers?

Regular Pleskian
Last night drwebd could not be restarted after updates - on ALL the servers I manage. See error message in title.

I also see in the status messages:
Plesk authorization failed: HTTP request error [35]

Yesterday I used the facility of SSLit! to sync protocolls and ciphers to Mozilla Intermediate 5.0 (the recommended version) - which is now only TLS 1.2 and 1.3, and more secure cyphers.

Can it be that drwebd fails on these protocolls or cyphers?

I am aware of some forum entries and Plesk KB solutions which address aspects of this problem - but not exactly this problem. Obviously I can't reinstall drwebd on all servers every day - and it probably would not work anyway, I need a solution that allows me to keep the intermediate 5.0 from Mozilla but that also allows drwebd to work. An update of drwebd on the systems I use - Debian 9 and 10 - sounds like the way to go to me.

Can someone from Plesk team look into this please - I can't imagine that I will be the only one affected...

Cheers, Tim
 
There was bug #PPPM-5740 "Premium Antivirus by Dr.Web now works without a license key installed when TLSv1 is disabled for sw-cp-server."
But AFAIK it was fixed in August Plesk update.
You could try to fix it with adding TLSv1 in the ssl_protocols in the /etc/sw-cp-server/conf.d/ssl.conf, e.g:

ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;

and restart sw-cp-server and drwebd services:

# service sw-cp-server restart
# service drwebd start

Contact Plesk Support Team if not help.
 
Thanks @IgorG I tried that but no joy )-:

Still seeing this when trying to start drwebd:

Perhaps it has to do with the ciphers rather than the TLS verion?

Seems I'll have to contect Plesk Support.
 
You can try to use following workaround:

  1. Create file /etc/sw-cp-server/conf.d/plesk-drweb-local.conf with the following content using text editor:
    Code: 
    # vi /etc/sw-cp-server/conf.d/plesk-drweb-local.conf
    Code: 
    server {
listen [::1]:8443 ssl;
listen 127.0.0.1:8443 ssl;

ssl_certificate /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/httpsd.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/httpsd.pem;

ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;

include conf.d/*plesk.inc;
include conf.d/*wpb.inc;
}
  2. Restart Plesk and DrWeb services:
    Code: 
    # service sw-cp-server restart && service drwebd restart
 
Hey @IgorG that works, then drwebd runs again.
So I have two questions:
  1. Is the previous fix also needed (with the SSL protocolls)?
  2. Can this be pushed out with the next Plesk update - I'm very busy and would not like to do this on all the servers I manage - not to mention that many others will surely be affected?
That's not the first time you've helped me out of a problem - so again, many thanks!
Tim
 
1. No.
2. I'm not sure that this fix will be included to the next update but I'll update bugreport with your request.

If you adjust ssl_ciphers (as found on Enable TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 on Ubuntu 20.04), this even allows NGINX on Ubuntu 20.04 to work with drweb (which otherwise fails since Ubuntu deprecated the use of TLSv1):

File /etc/sw-cp-server/conf.d/plesk-drweb-local.conf
NGINX: 
server {
  listen [::1]:8443 ssl;
  listen 127.0.0.1:8443 ssl;

  ssl_certificate /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/httpsd.pem;
  ssl_certificate_key /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/httpsd.pem;

  ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
  ssl_ciphers "HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5@SECLEVEL=1";

  include conf.d/*plesk.inc;
  include conf.d/*wpb.inc;

}

Any solution for Ubuntu 22.04 will be appreciated

Looking forward
 
For our online shop (currently 18.04 LTS) I am currently setting up a new Ubuntu system on a new VPS with 22.04 or 20.04.

I have the same problems as described in this article. It affects both the 20.04 and 22.04 versions.

With Ubuntu 18.04 DrWeb runs without problems.

Plesk Obsidian v18.0.44

The following error messages appear on 20.04 and 22.04:

SERVER:~# service drwebd status

Jun 18 17:47:47 xxxxxxxxx systemd[1]: drwebd.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

When updating from 18.04 to 20.04, DrWeb also refuses to work.

I have tried different solutions that can be found on the internet. Unfortunately without success.

Would appreciate a solution
