[stunnel-users] How to protect private key in Windows XP Home

Mon Nov 28 16:40:13 CET 2005

My stunnel client must start without user intervention.
So I installed stunnel in client mode in a Windows XP Home computer as XP
service.

 In XP Proffesional I can specify that only Administrators group has access
 to stunnel directory.

 XP Home does not have security tab in folder properties.
 Any person working in XP Home compter can copy stunnel private key

 How to protect private key from copying ?

 Andrus.

 My stunnel.conf file:

 Cafile=server.crt
 cert=privkey.pem
 client = yes
 service=RDPClient
 verify = 2

 [terminal server]
 accept = 83389
 connect = 1.2.3.4:83389
