Hi Guys,
Please feel free to try the beta version I just made available for download:
https://www.stunnel.org/downloads/beta/stunnel-5.04b1.tar.gz https://www.stunnel.org/downloads/beta/stunnel-5.04b1-installer.exe
The list of changes includes most of the issues recently discussed on the stunnel-users mailing list and more.
* New features - Support for local mode ("exec" option) on Win32. - A more explicit service description provided for the Windows SCM (thx to Pierre Delaage). - TCP/IP dependency added for NT service in order to (hopefully) prevent initialization failure at boot time. - FIPS canister updated to version 2.0.8 in the Win32 binary build.
* Bugfixes - load_icon_default() modified to return copies of default icons instead of the original resources to prevent the resources from being destroyed. - Reportedly more compatible values used for the dwDesiredAccess parameter of the CreateFile() function (thx to Pierre Delaage). - Partially merged UNICODE compilation fixes (thx to Pierre Delaage). - Partially merged Windows CE patches (thx to Pierre Delaage). - Fixed typos in stunnel.init.in and vc.mak. - Fixed incorrect memory allocation statistics update in str_realloc(). - Missing REMOTE_PORT environmental variable is provided to processes spawned with "exec" on Unix platforms. - Taskbar icon is no longer disabled for NT service.
Some basic examples for local mode ("exec" option) on Windows:
; Service based on a command-line tool [netstat] accept = 8015 exec = c:\windows\system32\netstat.exe execargs = netstat -a
; Remote cmd.exe protected with SSL ; Certificate-based authentication needs to be configured here! [cmd] accept = 1337 exec = c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
