[stunnel-users] basic usage question

Thu Mar 15 01:11:28 CET 2018

My OpenSSL does appear to support TLSv1.  running 'openssl ciphers -v TLSv1'
does return a list of ciphers whereas 'openssl ciphers -v TLSv1.3' give me a "no
cipher match" error, so I don't think the TLS1.3 patch is going to solve my
problem.  Why am I not able to run stunnel specifying "sslVersion = TLSv1"? The
error I got was:

2018.03.13 13:22:03 LOG3[0]: SSL_connect: 140770FC: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol

My configs:

SERVER:

foreground = yes
pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid
debug = 7
; output = /root/stunnel.log
output = /dev/stdout
sslVersion = TLSv1
[x11vnc]
accept = 3389
key = /root/privatekey.pem
cert = /root/certificate.pem
connect = 127.0.0.1:5900

CLIENT:

foreground = yes
verify = 2
pid = /home/mfoley/.stunnel/stunnel.pid
CAfile = /home/mfoley/.stunnel/certificate.pem
client = yes
sslVersion = TLSv1

[x11vnc]
accept = 5900
connect = serverhost.org:1914

Nitin - sorry, I didn't realize this was a response to my message and I sent a
followup message before reading this one.

I have your patch in a previous message. I'm not familiar with "patching". Can
you give me quickie instructions on doing that, or refer me to a link that
explains it? I assume I need to patch the source code, right? If so, I have
stunnel version 5.35. Do I need to apply this patch to a more recent version?

Are there any other sslVersions stunnel supports?

Thanks --Mark
