Julia post request 403

[dzonerzy]

Hi,
I'm having issue configuring julia i followed all the tutorial but when i do loadplugin julia i always see the POST request with a 403 response and the error:

Error: Init failure. CoD4xWebAdmin backend script said:
Error in plugin's OnInit function!

please help

This is a game server side issue, the plugin can not load. Make sure that you configured everything correctly.

Check your server.cfg
Check if the website or IP where you try to POST via plugin julia is online/available (check also the firewall)

Here is a small tutorial how you have to set up plugin Julia

How to Set up Plugin Julia and activate it

Actually my webadmin receive the post request from the Julia plugin it fails and the condition where the post request must return "okay" instead it return something else and fail with 403

[dzonerzy]

I configured steam sso, the identikey on both webadmin and game sever , and the rcon , I followed all the tutorial in the tutorial section the real problem is webadmin not responding correctly

[dzonerzy]

So i investigated a bit this is what i found the game server is configured correctly and also the webadmin, when i start the game server i receive the post request, this is the content:

POST /cod4x_plugins/julia/ HTTP/1.1
Accept: /
Host: webadmin.relic-gaming.net
User-Agent: CoD4X HTTP-Agent
Connection: Keep-Alive
Content-Length: 274
Content-Type: application/json

{
"time":1580464031,
"identkey":"RELIC_SNIPER_KEY1337",
"serverport":28961,
"command":"HELO",
"gamename":"Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare X18",
"gamedir":"cod4",
"version":"17.8",
"rcon":"test_rcon"
}

which is absolutely correct, now if i reply the current request i got a forbidden error due to csrf:

ForbiddenError: invalid csrf token

so this is the actual problem

I can not access your webadmin page, send me a link to your cod4xwebadmin page pls. 403 error means that it is forbidden. Also let me know if this is a local or external game server on cod4xwebadmin, how did you add it

[dzonerzy]

https://webadmin.relic-gaming.net/ this is the link , the game server is remote

[NeHo]

The link is broken, I can not access it "Service Unavailable" 503 error

[dzonerzy]

I add the external gameserver with ip, port, rcon, identitykey for julia and same params are configured on server, plus i enabled steam sso on webadmin and linked my account to steam, then i configured myself as admin for my gameserver, then i start the cod4 server i receive the post but it trigger the csrf error , it's possible that all POST request must include a csrf token as a security measure?

[dzonerzy]

It's online again

[NeHo]

keep the website online and then restart your game server

[dzonerzy]

I restarted the game server

[dzonerzy]

Jan 31 13:40:12 relic-gaming.net bash[4842]: POST /cod4x_plugins/julia/ 403 118.203 ms - 9036

[NeHo]

Is there any error on the website console, do you run cod4xwebadmin with npm start? if yes then you should see a POST request in console, is there any error, if yes send it here

[NeHo]

Error was in the server.cfg file, the julia_identkey was not added
