[stunnel-users] Q: controlled access to service?

Wed Jul 13 15:10:34 CEST 2005

Hi,

I want to control access to a through stunnel reachable service. Only those 
clients shall be allowed to use the service which provide a known 
certificate.
I have found the option "CApath"; can this directory be used to collect all 
client certificates? Or is it absolutely necessary to have CA certs there?

Another thing in this environment: I do not know or own every CA certificate 
used by the clients - I only get the client certificates itself. So I want to 
do only a one-level client cert verification. Which verify level do I need 
for this? 2 or 3?

What about removing certificates from the CApath directory? Do I have to 
restart stunnel to make this change be effective?

Another thing: since the client certificates are not revoked by us I am not 
able to use CRLs for controlling access to our service.
