[stunnel-users] Help in setting stunnel in server mode to over come TLSV2 compatibility

Mon Nov 28 17:24:53 CET 2016

Thanks Jose/all who ever helped in solving the issue. As in future the URL is getting framed in runtime and keep changing so we are proceeding with TIBCO upgrade as a better option.

Thanks and Regards,

Jothish,

1. You are using a very outdated version of OpenSSL (openssl 0.9.8 is EOL). I suggest you use a newer, supported version.

2. On a DOS Window, try this:
openssl dhparam -rand randfile1;randfile2;randfile3 1024

where randfile1,randfile2.... are existing files or directories to use as entrophy sources. If you're on Linux you can use  dd if=/dev/urandom count=2 | openssl dhparam -rand - 1024

This will print something like this:
WARNING: can't open config file: c:\openssl-vc/ssl/openssl.cnf
Loading 'screen' into random state - done
0 semi-random bytes loaded
Generating DH parameters, 1024 bit long safe prime, generator 2
This is going to take a long time
..+.. bla, bla....++*

kOB/3lGcWo50ttf+ZqNaXd0lKf9YfnjkRUSUtrHiMRL9CdecxQXbAgEC
-----END DH PARAMETERS-----

Now, cut from ---BEGIN... all the way to PARAMETERS--- and add it to your cert PEM file.

3. Try again, your check command: openssl dhparam -inform PEM -in ./training_client.pem -check -text
Should print something like:
    DH Parameters: (1024 bit)
        prime:
            00:92:7e:40:06:24:29:07:74:a4:6d:65:c5:92:83:
            ...
            31:12:fd:09:d7:9c:c5:05:db
        generator: 2 (0x2)
DH parameters appear to be ok.
-----BEGIN DH PARAMETERS-----
MIGHAoGBAJJ+QAYkKQd0pG1lxZKDYVZaURkTINQho8CWCUYOMp2ZEwZeMrEv+kjd
....
-----END DH PARAMETERS-----

4. Now, try connecting from SFDC to tibco and let us know.

Saludos
Jose

Jose,

For the issue as mentioned in below down mail I am following below two approaches,
1.       Move the TLSv1.2 enabled traffic to an intermediate port and then to target port which has TLS1 enabled, in that ssl handshake from intermediate to target port getting below error. While triaging with openssl command, it is observed that the DH parameters are not proper. So we are trying to add the dh parameters
C:\Users\robin.johnson\Documents\SSL\SSL>C:\openssl-0.9.8k_X64\bin\openssl dhparam -inform PEM -in ./training_client.pem -check -text
unable to load DH parameters
1800:error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line:.\crypto\pem\pem_lib.c:650:Expecting: DH PARAMETERS
stunnel.log-->2016.11.23 23:08:32 LOG3[131]: SSL_connect: 14082174: error:14082174:SSL routines:ssl3_check_cert_and_algorithm:dh key too small
        2.   Using https service in stunnel traffic is received by TLS V1.1 divert to non ssl enabled port.

Thanks and Regards,

Can you please elaborate? If you want us to help, you need to provide enough information.

Jose,
☺ you are right.i was trying but I thought it will work as a client and it worked as a workaround. But will check for the dh key small error while forwarding the traffic with SSL from intermediate port to another port.

Jothish,

Stunnel in server mode is what you need, with 99.9% confidence.

When you write:

[https]
Accept=443
Connect=local host:80
Client=no

Stunnnel will expect TLS connections on port 443 and will forward then to your normal web server running on loopback port 80.

Is that clear?

Regards,
Jose

Is there a way to forward a Secure connection from one port to non secure port using stunnel. I am googling but unable to find. If you have can you let me know

There are other tools for performing port forwarding with less overhead (I believe tappipe is one), although I make use stunnel to do this extensively.
In order forward a secure connection from one port to another is a two step process with stunnel:
A sample configuration segment would be:
[SFDC reverse in]
client = no
accept = 8008
connect = localhost:48008

[SFDC reverse out]
client = yes
accept = localhost:48008
connect = localhost:8009

Hi, there.

I'm no stunnel expert, but here's my $0.05 (we have no pennies in Canada anymore ;-) ):
- I would try including the key as well as the cert in your stunnel config
- I would enable debug on the openssl s_client call to see if it will indicate why it is reseting. Same with your SFDC client to get more info.
- Question: is the "WARNING: can't open config file" message below indicative of a permissions or path problem?
- Question: Is the stunnel cert and key compatible with the TIBCO server's certificate? They need to be using certs generated from the same key source, don't they?
- You might want to fix the SSL version in the stunnel config file (i.e. sslVersion = TLSv1.2)

Good luck with your debugging.

HI all,

There is a problem we have currently connecting tibco client to SFDC sever via TLS v1.2 and that’s solved by using stunnel in client mode. And the communication from SFDC client to tibco server applications w.r.t TLS V1.2 I am unable to solve using stunnel. Below is the configuration in stunnel in server end to divert the traffic from 8008 to 8009, can you help here with the logs is the stunnel configuration is correct or there any missed/need to alter.

[SFDC reverse proxy test]
debug=7
;client = yes
accept = 8008-->port used by sfdc client to connect to TIBCO server
connect = localhost:8009 -->Tibco server that’s running
cert = stunnel.pem

PFB the openssl snap shot looks odd
