[stunnel-users] Stunnel Connectivity Issue

Hi Liz,



Find attached stunnel log herewith, yes the configured remote server IP
address and port details are correct.

At remote end they have allowed our source address and they are getting an
error during TLS handshake, the issue appears to be with the TLS
certificate and are sending them back resulting in the handshake error.

Also, please let us know if we can have a call with you and remote session
to get this fix.

I will be thankful to you.

Regards,

Dheeraj Gautam

What do your debug logs say? What happens when you send a test message
through? Are you sure you have the remote IP address/port correct? Is there
IP filtering or a firewall in place between the two?

Hi Liz,



We have stuck badly to establish stunnel connection with one of our
partner, We have configured Client mode configuration on our server to
connect server to run the application.



Below is the config which We have done on my server:



; ***************************************** Example TLS Client mode services

; Certificate

cert = Talomoncert.pem

key = Talomonkey.pem

CAfile = TalomonCACerts.pem

;FIPS

fips=no

; Protocol version (all, SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1)

sslVersion = TLSv1.2



; Some performance tunings

socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1

socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1



; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting

debug = 7

output = stunnel.log



; Use it for client mode

client = yes

; Service-level configuration

[FIX]

accept = 127.0.0.1:9260

connect = 69.191.230.34:8228

;protocol=connect

;protocolHost= 69.191.230.34:8228

TIMEOUTconnect  = 5



Our partner saying that they are not getting any TLS connection on their
server due to which connection is not establishing.



Could you please help us to get this sort out as we have no more idea how
we can troubleshoot this.



Thanks in advance.



Regards,



Dheeraj Gautam

Hi, Dheeraj,



Your logs say that you’re connecting successfully to the port that your
application is listening on. Have you tried testing from the application,
or calls to the application?



This line (along with the next couple of lines) suggest that telnet is
connecting through to the remote host listening on 8228.



2017.06.13 16:38:38 LOG5[11]: s_connect: connected 69.191.198.34:8228



It closes the connection via telnet because telnet isn’t going to run your
application for you.



We need more information about how you’re connecting to your application?
(or intending to)

Hi Browne,



I am not understand like what config I have to do in stunnel config file.



As per application it will trigger 8228 port of remote server, but at the
momen stunnel is working only when I am trying to telnet localhost on 9233
port.



Nothing is happening when running the application, don’t know what I am
missing as I am the new for stunnel.



Please help to fix this out.



Regards,



Dheeraj Gautam

Dheeraj,

stunnel will keep the connection open for as long as your applications
keeps it open.  When you exit telnet, it closes the connection.  I use
stunnel mostly for RDP, VNC and telnet and as long the application is
active, the port is open.  You need to have your application open the local
port you want to route via stunnel (in your example 127.0.0.1:9233).  As
long as your application keeps the connection open (ignoring such issues as
communications failures), stunnel will maintain the application.  Telnet is
a great tool for determining connectivity, but your application is going to
have to handle the connection going forward.

Hi Liz,



Thanks for your reply.



Actually we need to run a service which will work only once stunnel
connection establish and the service will work till the time connection
connected.



But at the moment I don’t have idea like how the stunnel will remain
connected.



Could you please suggest me to fix this so that stunnel connection remain
connected and I can run the application.



Waiting for your valuable response.

Hi, Dheeraj,



Are you testing the connection with Telnet? Or are you testing with the
application. What I noticed in testing the connection is that once the
command is completed, the connection is closed.



However, when I test from my application, its only closed once all
transactions in that session are completed, and will show how much data was
passed on (following from my logs at the end of a non-telnet test session.

Although, stunnel logs indicating that configuration successful, but in
logs no where is mentioned about the connection is it connected or not,



Hello Dheeraj,

You should set the verifyChain option in order to verify the certificate
stored in the file specified with CAfile:
verifyChain = yes

Then you can test your connection:
telnet 127.0.0.1 9233
the stunnel logs will show information about the connection attempt.

Małgorzata
