CURL and SSL Problem Suddenly for WHMCS Software: sslv3 alert handshake failure

[tradehost]

Hello,

 

I'm hoping some others in the community have encountered this issue and have a workaround or solution to the error I'm suddenly getting in my WHMCS. We never had this happen before.

 

I am getting in our transaction log errors for CURL trying to do a credit card capture. It's for the Quantum Vault/Gateway that I do transactions.

 

The error reported is:

 

CURL Error: 35 - error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure

 

Why is WHMCS returning this error that sslv3 handshake error was encountered? This has never happened before this current upgrade to WHMCS. I am concerned now that I can't process new orders and also bill for existing ones.

 

Thanks in advance. This would help me out a lot, and I really do appreciate any insight.

I'm also suddenly getting UCRL issues as well but with subscriptions.

Check to make sure that the ca_bundle is not the culprit... A few root certificates expired earlier this month.

The issue is the newest CURL updates at hosts requires calling the CURL library with the right SSL parameters now. WHMCS should be updating this in the next upgrade, but I was able to get a temporary update to the credit card module.
