[stunnel-users] help on Linux stunnel setup

Fri Apr 26 10:37:11 CEST 2013

Hello all!

I'm in charge of activating stunnel to connect a service to a remote service.
Since I'm totally new on this product, I'd be grateful if someone could help me in configuring.
This is where I stand:
Stunnel version:
stunnel 4.29 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 1.0.0-fips 29 Mar 2010

OS:
Linux 2.6.32-220.23.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jun 18 18:58:52 BST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I'd need to have it started by non-root user, and I have loaded under a specific path (owned by the same user):

Stunnel.conf:
; Sample stunnel configuration file
;cert = FXMS1.pem
client = yes
output = /export/home/bg_mtsbv/slev5fix/log
pid = /export/home/bg_mtsbv/slev5fix/conf/stunnel.pid

[ssl01]
accept  = 127.0.0.1:18889
connect = 193.203.229.143:443

Stunnel.pid (empty)

xxx.pem (certificate has been provided by the owner of the target server)

my first two questions:

which is the correct command line to be launched?
Is it correct to have all the files under the user's directory?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Regards,

Valerio
