Hello Frans,
The certificate is a way of starting a secure communication. In order 
for communication to be secured, it must be encrypted (to prevent a 
third-party from seeing what is being transmitted) and authenticated (to 
prevent tampering and to ensure the communication came from the intended 
party).
The certificate is unique to an stunnel installation/configuration and 
is shared with the peer. The values in the certificate are used through 
stunnel to authentication and verify the peer in a cryptographic way. At 
least one side of the connection must be authenticated in order to 
prevent man-in-the-middle attack.
I suggest reading the stunnel manual and some configuration examples:
https://www.stunnel.org/auth.html

If you have any specific questions to stunnel, please attach your 
configuration file and log messages.

Regards.
