Problems with Stunnel 4.22 build
by GGrant 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

There's a problem with the Stunnel 4.22 build as there's undefined IDs in the resources.rc file. To get around this get the resources.rc file from an earlier build (e.g. Stunnel 4.21) and replace it. It should compile happily -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Problems-with-Stunnel-4.22-build-tp16491431p16491431.… Sent from the Stunnel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

23 secs to list 5000 files using stunnel and samba on linux
by Paul Kerin 04 Apr '08

04 Apr '08

Hi I'm using the following s/w versions on RHEL3: Stunnel: 4.04 (also experimenting with 4.22, no difference so far) Samba: 3.0.9-1.3E.10 Kernel: 2.4.21-32.0.1.EL Stunnel is used to encrypt samba connections from linux clients because redhat 3 doesn't support NTLMv2 (cifs not standard and probably not an option). To list 5000 files (simply typing ls within a mounted directory on the client) it consistently takes around 20-23 seconds to return the data. Listing is almost instantaneous when using a windows client, or using a linux client without stunnel. As a side note, if I pipe the result to /dev/null it takes around 9 seconds (?). The network forwarding path from the samba client to samba server is: smbclient > localhost:924 > stunnel > remotehost:923 > stunnel > samba server (port 446) Tcpdump shows that when using stunnel about 10500 packets are generated, minus stunnel it's more like 500. I'd expect some overhead related to SSL, but 21 times the traffic seems a little excessive. I've experimented with socket options such as TCP_NODELAY, SO_LINGER, SO_RCVLOWAT, SO_OOBINLINE, etc with no improvement at all. However, my understanding of these is pretty superficial so I'm not confident I've exhausted all options here (ie perhaps combining multiple settings at once). I've got stunnel debug set to 7 on client and server. No errors and no logging at all except for the initial handshake when the mount is created. Including the tcpdump would probably be excessive at this stage. In summary, using stunnel the data gets transmitted in packets usually containing around 200 bytes, whereas without stunnel it's mostly 1408 byte packets. Any suggestions? Thanks Paul

Stunnel Newbie - Compiling Stunnel and adding patches for Windows
by GGrant 02 Apr '08

02 Apr '08

Hi, I've downloaded the Stunnel source code and I am trying to compile it with the Visual C++ compiler (cl.exe). I am not sure what to do as I cannot find the Makefile.w32. So how do I go about it? Also how do you apply a user patch to the source code/ Must I copy and paste the code to the required files?

Stunnel-Openssl: Problems with certificate chain
by Pietro Di Primo 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hi, My name is Pietro Di Primo and I work on the INFN Grid project (http://grid.infn.it/) I'm trying to develop an application based on stunnel. Everything works well when I use user certificates (signed by our CA), but i need to use (on the client side) a particular proxy. This proxy contains a public and a private key, and the public key of the user that generated it (I atteched a file with a such proxy). On the server side I have the CA certificate but not the user's one, so I can't verify the client (unable to get local issuer certificate). I tried to get the user certificate using the SSL_get_peer_cert_chain function on the server, but it returns NULL. On the client side I tried SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file, Also I tried to get a STACK_OF(X509) and use SSL_CTX_use_certificate (for proxy certificate), and SSL_CTX_add_extra_chain_cert (to include the user's certificate), but it still doesn't work. Can you help me please? Best Regards -- --- Ing. Pietro Di Primo INFN - Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare Grid Computing Research Area Via S.

All things considered, I must agree that reducing the engine use of the stack would be the better solution. I'll look it over and see if I can find anything sizable on the stack to move.

New libwrap code
by Randy McMurchy 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

Hi all, My apologies if this has been discussed (I've reviewed the archives since 4.21 was released), and if so please just point me in the right direction. I read in some of the messages there's been a revamp (overhaul, changes, whatever) of the libwrap code in Stunnel-4.21. I'm not having any issues using the new version, however, I'm seeing it spawn 5 processes where in every other version I've used in the past there has always only been one process spawned. Here's what I see: root 3408 1 0 17:50 pts/10 00:00:00 /usr/bin/stunnel root 3409 1 0 17:50 pts/10 00:00:00 /usr/bin/stunnel root 3410 1 0 17:50 pts/10 00:00:00 /usr/bin/stunnel root 3411 1 0 17:50 pts/10 00:00:00 /usr/bin/stunnel root 3412 1 0 17:50 pts/10 00:00:00 /usr/bin/stunnel stunnel 3413 1 0 17:50 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/stunnel Is this a product of the new libwrap code?

Enhancement request - Increase thread stack size
by Mccue, Richard Alan 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

I load an engine into Stunnel to access the private key. The engine loads without incident, but Stunnel consistently aborts when creating a session with the first peer because the thread stack is too small. I rebuilt Stunnel 4.21 on my test machine after increasing the stack size parameter and it fixed the problem. Here is the diff: --------------------- # diff -b common.h common.h_orig 33c33 < #define STACK_SIZE 32768*4 --- > #define STACK_SIZE 32768 42c42 < #define STACK_SIZE 65536*4 --- > #define STACK_SIZE 65536 --------------------- Could this enhancement be included in the next Stunnel release?

HTTPS being redirected back to HTTP
by Steven Buehler 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

I have tested several versions of stunnel up to version 4.21 on SLES 9 and 10. I am trying to use stunnel to implement TLS 1.0 for HTTPS on a Lotus Domino server. I am able to connect to the Domino server with a web browser with HTTPS successfully. However, once I log into the server it drops me back down to HTTP. I suspect the Domino server is sending a redirect back to HTTP during the login because if I change the URL back to HTTPS in the browser after the login, it re-establishes the HTTPS connection. I've checked with Lotus support and there is nothing that can be done on the Domino server to prevent this. Is there anyway to handle this in stunnel so that the requests remain as HTTPS requests to the browser? Here is the services section of my stunnel.conf [https] sslVersion = TLSv1 accept = gsvatestm02.er.usgs.gov:443 connect = gsvatestm02.er.usgs.gov:80 TIMEOUTclose = 0

possible stunnel memory leak
by Stefano Stabellini 25 Mar '08

25 Mar '08

Hi all, I may have found a possible memory leak in stunnel (version 4.15) when used with pthreads. What I am seeing is the memory usage going up when connections open and never going down, no matter if all the connections close. It is really easy to reproduce it: I have started two stunnel instances communicating with each other, the first one acting as a server (config file stunnel.1) and executing cat, the second one acting as a client (config file stunnel.2) and opening port 5556. Then I execute the script I have attached that simply opens 500 connections using netcat to port 5556. If you cat /proc/<stunnel pid>/status you can see that the memory usage is about 300MB. The problem is that even after all the connections are closed the memory usage stays (more or less) the same. I tried to find the bug myself using valgrind, but I couldn't get far, it seems that valgrind gets confused by openssl so doesn't print very useful informations. I really appreciate any help you can give me; just tell me if you need any other info. Best Regards, Stefano Stabellini #!/bin/bash i=1 while test $i -lt 520 do cat script | nc 127.0.0.1 5556 &>/dev/null & echo $i i=$(( $i + 1 )) done foreground = yes [test] accept = 5555 cert = /etc/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem exec = cat foreground = yes [test] accept = 5556 cert = /etc/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem client = yes connect = 5555

What is the stable version of Stunnel?
by Randy McMurchy 22 Mar '08

22 Mar '08

Hi all, Can anyone say for sure what is the stable version of Stunnel? On the main Stunnel web site page ( http://www.stunnel.org ) and in the announcement for the version it says the new 4.21 version is experimental. However, on the download page ( http://www.stunnel.org/download/source.html ) the 4.21 version is flagged as the stable version. Sort of confusing. -- Randy

bidirectional tunnel
by Leo Cherepanov 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

Hello. First of all - thanx a lot, I'm using stunnel every day and it helps me. It will help me even more :) if I can make bidirectional tunnel between external server S and computer C behind nat-proxy-firewall. Of course, C is initiator. I mean after tunnel is up, there is a port-forward C:port1->S:port2 (already works) _and_ S:port3->C:port4 Once again, S has an external ip, C has a private ip. Is this schema posible? Thanx en avance.

It seems your files do not contain a PKCS#12 structure (containing the key and the whole certificate chain). I should have recognize this by the fact you have one file for each certificate. Sorry.

stunnel not seeing ca bundle files
by sf.techguy＠gmail.com 12 Mar '08

12 Mar '08

I'm running stunnel 4.14 on Darwin 7.0.0 (Mac OS X Server 10.4.11), with OpenSSL 0.9.71. I purchased a security certificate from comodo, and was able to get it installed and working (mostly) with stunnel, but when I browse to the website, I get an error that the the browser can't verify the identity of the site, due to a problem w/the security cert. I called comodo, and they the error is caused by stunnel not seeing the intermediate certificate files that they told me need to be installed in order for their certificate to work. These files were: ComodoUTNServerCA.crt UTNAddTrustServerCA.crt AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt EssentialSSLCA.crt my_server_net.crt I modified stunnel.conf, and included this line: CApath = ca-certs/ (<- dir path, relative to chroot, containing above files) But the error persists. Can anyone tell me if what comodo support is telling me is even correct? I've verified that my .key and .crt files match by running: $ openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in server.crt | openssl md5 $ openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in server.key | openssl md5 And the output of both matches. Not sure what to try next. Any help much appreciated! Thanks in advance...

behaviour on remote disconnection

Hi. I'm using 3.26 version of stunnel. How to disallow creating local sockets (on client side) when remote (server) is not available? My application detects socket creation errors and it works without stunnel, but in stunnel the socket is always opening correctly so I have to wait for timeouts to discover network disconnection.

I am trying to set up rsync over SSL with stunnel. I've got things working when I run stunnel standalone on both systems, but I have been unable to get things working when I run stunnel via xinetd on the server (haven't tried using xinet on the client yet). Here is the (standalone) server configuration that works: cert = /etc/stunnel/rsyncs_cert.pem key = /etc/stunnel/private/rsyncs_key.pem client = no pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid RNDfile = /var/run/stunnel/random_seed foreground = yes debug = debug ;output = /var/run/stunnel/stunnel.log [rsyncs] accept = 2873 exec = /usr/bin/rsync execargs = rsync --daemon Here is the (non-working) server-side xinetd configuration: # default: off # description: rsync tunneled over SSL (stunnel) service rsyncs { disable = no flags = IPv4 socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/stunnel } ... and the (non-working) server-side stunnel configuration: cert = /etc/stunnel/rsyncs_cert.pem key = /etc/stunnel/private/rsyncs_key.pem client = no pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid RNDfile = /var/run/stunnel/random_seed foreground = yes debug = debug output = /var/run/stunnel/stunnel.log exec = /usr/bin/rsync execargs = rsync --daemon Trying to connect to the non-working configuration with openssl s_client, I get: CONNECTED(00000003) write to 0x9b9e938 [0x9b9f068] (133 bytes => 133 (0x85)) 0000 - 80 83 01 03 01 00 5a 00-00 00 20 00 00 39 00 00 ......Z... ..9.. 0010 - 38 00 00 35 00 00 16 00-00 13 00 00 0a 07 00 c0 8..5............ 0020 - 00 00 33 00 00 32 00 00-2f 03 00 80 00 00 66 00 ..3..2../.....f. 0030 - 00 05 00 00 04 01 00 80-00 00 63 00 00 62 00 00 ..........c..b.. 0040 - 15 00 00 12 00 00 09 06-00 40 00 00 65 00 00 64 [email protected] 0050 - 00 00 14 00 00 11 00 00-08 00 00 06 04 00 80 00 ................ 0060 - 00 03 02 00 80 3e b4 89-34 c1 e6 93 97 2d 8d ca .....>..4....-.. 0070 - 90 e1 4c 51 e1 71 c7 54-ed 52 0c 6e 2e 47 90 9b ..LQ.q.T.R.n.G.. 0080 - 8e c6 73 3d d8 ..s=. read from 0x9b9e938 [0x9ba45c8] (7 bytes => 7 (0x7)) 0000 - 32 30 30 38 2e 30 33 2008.03 18523:error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol:s23_clnt.c:567: The server log shows: 2008.03.10 11:32:23 LOG5[18563:3086215456]: stunnel 4.20 on i386-redhat-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006 2008.03.10 11:32:23 LOG5[18563:3086215456]: Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP 2008.03.10 11:32:23 LOG7[18563:3086215456]: stunnel started 2008.03.10 11:32:23 LOG7[18563:3086215456]: FD 0 in non-blocking mode 2008.03.10 11:32:23 LOG7[18563:3086215456]: FD 1 in non-blocking mode 2008.03.10 11:32:23 LOG7[18563:3086215456]: FD 4 in non-blocking mode 2008.03.10 11:32:23 LOG7[18563:3086215456]: FD 5 in non-blocking mode 2008.03.10 11:32:23 LOG7[18563:3086215456]: Connection from 127.0.0.1:38481 permitted by libwrap 2008.03.10 11:32:23 LOG5[18563:3086215456]: stunnel accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:38481 2008.03.10 11:32:23 LOG7[18563:3086215456]: SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization 2008.03.10 11:32:23 LOG7[18563:3086215456]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client hello A 2008.03.10 11:32:23 LOG7[18563:3086215456]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server hello A 2008.03.10 11:32:23 LOG7[18563:3086215456]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write certificate A 2008.03.10 11:32:23 LOG7[18563:3086215456]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server done A 2008.03.10 11:32:23 LOG3[18563:3086215456]: SSL_accept: Peer suddenly disconnected 2008.03.10 11:32:23 LOG5[18563:3086215456]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket 2008.03.10 11:32:23 LOG7[18563:3086215456]: stunnel finished (0 left) Anyone have any ideas?

Hi, I am writing you because I haven’t found solution on the web. In order to secure a connection between servers (1 client and 1 server stunnel), I chose the stunnel tool. However, I have an issue when I unplugged the network cable. If I unplug the network cable on the remote side, Stunnel will detect the cutting only on the local side. In fact, I would like to configure stunnel client in order to detect the unplugged network cable on server side. I tried many configurations but without success: socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = l:SO_LINGER=1:1 socket = l:SO_KEEPALIVE=1 socket = l:SO_REUSEADDR=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:SO_LINGER=1:1 socket = r:SO_KEEPALIVE=1 socket = r:SO_REUSEADDR=1 Could you help me? Thanks you in advance, Alex _____________________________________________________________________________ Envoyez avec Yahoo! Mail. Une boite mail plus intelligente http://mail.yahoo.fr

ssl mutual authentication
by Simon Santoro 09 Mar '08

09 Mar '08

Hello all. I am sure I am missing something really obvious here, but I can't get this to work. HTTP client (localhost) -> stunnel (localhost) -> HTTPS server (remote host) I'd like to user stunnel as proxy for my HTTP requests that go to a HTTPS server (apache if that makes any difference) on a remote host (fresh) that uses a cert to authenticate the request. I wrote this little ruby script[2] to test the request, and it works, so i am sure that on the server/client/cert end there is no problem. Now I'd like to use a simple wget or w3m to get the file from the remote server trough stunnel, but I keep getting SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed The only difference between the ruby script and the stunnel setup is that in the ruby script i have two different files for the crt and the key, and with stunnel I joined those files together with cat s2(a)magnesium.key s2(a)magnesium.crt >s2(a)magnesium.pam on localhost i run: $ stunnel -r fresh:443 -d localhost:11443 -c -f -D 7 -c -S 0 -p certs/s2(a)magnesium.pem -a certs/ -A certs/freshCA.crt -v 3 -P none 2008.03.09 21:21:38 LOG5[9026:3082811056]: Using 'fresh.443' as tcpwrapper service name 2008.03.09 21:21:38 LOG7[9026:3082811056]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2008.03.09 21:21:38 LOG6[9026:3082811056]: PRNG seeded successfully 2008.03.09 21:21:38 LOG7[9026:3082811056]: Certificate: certs/s2(a)magnesium.pem Enter PEM pass phrase: 2008.03.09 21:21:40 LOG7[9026:3082811056]: cert_defaults is 0 2008.03.09 21:21:40 LOG7[9026:3082811056]: cert_dir is certs/ 2008.03.09 21:21:40 LOG7[9026:3082811056]: cert_file is certs/freshCA.crt 2008.03.09 21:21:40 LOG7[9026:3082811056]: Loaded verify certificates from certs/freshCA.crt 2008.03.09 21:21:40 LOG7[9026:3082811056]: Set verify directory to certs/ 2008.03.09 21:21:40 LOG5[9026:3082811056]: Peer certificate location certs/ 2008.03.09 21:21:40 LOG5[9026:3082811056]: stunnel 3.26 on i486-pc-linux-gnu PTHREAD+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007 2008.03.09 21:21:40 LOG7[9026:3082811056]: No pid file being created 2008.03.09 21:21:40 LOG5[9026:3082811056]: FD_SETSIZE=1024, file ulimit=1024 -> 500 clients allowed 2008.03.09 21:21:40 LOG7[9026:3082811056]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket 2008.03.09 21:21:40 LOG7[9026:3082811056]: fresh.443 bound to 127.0.0.1:11443 then, I try to connect to localhost:11443 with w3m, in the hope that my HTTP request is encrypted and send to fresh:443, and stunnel should check if the PEER certificate is correct, but all I get is: 2008.03.09 21:26:44 LOG7[9214:3082585776]: fresh.443 accepted FD=6 from 127.0.0.1:43888 2008.03.09 21:26:44 LOG7[9214:3082423184]: fresh.443 started 2008.03.09 21:26:44 LOG5[9214:3082423184]: fresh.443 connected from 127.0.0.1:43888 2008.03.09 21:26:44 LOG7[9214:3082423184]: fresh.443 connecting 192.168.0.2:443 2008.03.09 21:26:44 LOG7[9214:3082423184]: Remote FD=7 initialized 2008.03.09 21:26:44 LOG7[9214:3082423184]: Relying on OpenSSL RSA Blinding. 2008.03.09 21:26:44 LOG7[9214:3082423184]: SSL state (connect): before/connect initialization 2008.03.09 21:26:44 LOG7[9214:3082423184]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 write client hello A 2008.03.09 21:26:45 LOG7[9214:3082423184]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 read server hello A 2008.03.09 21:26:45 LOG5[9214:3082423184]: VERIFY OK: depth=1, /C=IT/O=S2 corp./CN=S2/emailAddress=s2@fresh 2008.03.09 21:26:45 LOG4[9214:3082423184]: VERIFY ERROR ONLY MY: no cert for /C=IT/O=S2 corp./CN=fresh 2008.03.09 21:26:45 LOG7[9214:3082423184]: SSL alert (write): fatal: certificate unknown 2008.03.09 21:26:45 LOG3[9214:3082423184]: SSL_connect: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed 2008.03.09 21:26:45 LOG7[9214:3082423184]: fresh.443 finished (0 left) Did I something wrong?

Username authentication
by Joe Kemp 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

I want to try to use stunnel as a "simple" client vpn. It solves all of my encryption issues but I would like to verify a username/password before it lets the traffic through. I didn't see any patches or hacks out there that did this. Has this been attempted before or am I on my own. I would also be interested in other solutions based on openssl that are not network device level VPNs clients. Already using client side certificates and I know that is the normal SSL authentication mechanism.... Thanks. -Joe

Send delay?
by Colin E 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Please can you help a hardware engineer, who almost understands what he's doing. I'm using sTunnel 4.21 on a Windows 2000 machine, to provide a TCP program with SSL. This works very well. However the application is very time critical and must finish sending block of XML as quickly as possible. I suspect there is a delay in either sTunnel or openSSL, while it waits to see if there are any more characters before sending a packet. Is this correct? If it is, is there a work round. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Send-delay--tp15826043p15826043.html Sent from the Stunnel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hallo, I have found 2 Bugs. 1. In Version 4.21: No Taskbar Icon is displayed when the service starts. Although the taskbar ist set in config file (taskbar = yes). 2. In probably all Versions (I have testet 4.18, 4.20 and 4.21) If i started the service over Start -> Programm Files -> stunnel -> Service Start (stunnel -start) no log files are written. If i start the service over services.msc from Windows or "sc start stunnel" log files are written. The icon log displayed the following message in version 4.18 and 4.20 2007.11.09 09:41:03 LOG3[2396:2400]: stunnel.log: Broken pipe (32) 2007.11.09 09:41:03 LOG3[2396:2400]: Unable to open output file: stunnel.log Best Regards Jan

VNC, STUNNEL & HTTPTUNNEL ----- (((VNC)SSL)HTTP)
by sean bhola 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

I need to connect to my PC at work from home. The firewall at work has only ports 80 (http) and 443 (https) open, I also think there is a proxy. I was wondering which scenario would work. 1: To encapsulate vnc traffic within ssl using stunnel and pass it though port 443, OR 2: To encapsulate vnc traffic within ssl using stunnel, then encapsulate that within http using httptunnel and pass through port 80 OR 3: To encapsulate vnc traffic within http, then encapsulate that within ssl using stunnel and pass through port 443 I read this article http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1677 but still had the concerns above. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks. Sean

running SWAT through stunnel and uid/gid question
by Wayne Sherman 24 Feb '08

24 Feb '08

(using STunnel 4.21 on gentoo) I can successfully run the samba SWAT tool through stunnel with these settings: [swat] exec = /usr/sbin/swat execargs = swat accept = 901 But, I have discovered that in order to successfully log-in to swat, I have to comment these lines in the global section of stunnel.conf: #setuid = stunnel #setgid = stunnel Is there a way to specify the UID/GID per service (like the xinetd service level option "user") instead of globally? Thanks, Wayne

Web based CRL file
by Edouard Dessioux 18 Feb '08

Hi, I have several questions about the CRL file : - is the file reloaded before each connection or is it first loaded at the stunnel startup ? - do you have any idea of how to use a web-based CRL file ?

Installing Stunnel 4.21 on Shared Hosting Server with OpenSSL 0.9.6g
by Norbert Hoeller 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

I am trying to install Stunnel 4.21 on a 1&1 shared Linux server. PHP Settings claims that OpenSSL 0.9.6g is installed. I unpacked the tar file and ran "./configure" using --prefix to override the /usr/local/ install directory. I had one warning: "configure: WARNING: Openssl engine header not found". In terms of threading model, I got "configure: PTHREAD thread model detected". When I tried to run "make", I got "common.h:318: #error OpenSSL library compiled without thread support". Is there a way around this? I tried running "./configure" with --with-threads=ucontext/fork, but that gave a bunch of "OCSP_" undeclared variables and "Error 1". Thanks, Norbert

Validation of certificate
by Edouard Dessioux 12 Feb '08

12 Feb '08

Hi everyone, I'm new to this mailing list, but before my asking question, i checked the archive but did not find anything related, so, it may be out of topic. Well, for the moment, I can't provide all the informations asked like « output of ... command », but I'm not sure this is relevant for my question. The informations I can provide are : * I use stunnel to terminate a tls connection between a mobile phone and a web application server. * I use stunnel to validate my clients certificates. * The stunnel will be running on a windows 2003 server * I guess I would be using the last available version of stunnel * The certificates would be generated by a PKI different from openssl What I would like to do is : I have a PKI already deployed with many certificates, and I want only a small subset of them to be validated by the stunnel. I thought of using multiples OU fields to « tags » some users, but can this fields be checked by stunnel ? Do you guys have any feedback on this or any alternative way to do something equivalent ?

Stunnel Problem - 935 Maximum connections on Windows
by Iain ＠ Mobile777 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

We are having some difficulties when using Stunnel under load. The maximum sessions running on a Windows servers seems to be set at 935 concurrent connections. Our system uses Stunnel to route incoming SSL traffic on port 443 through Openssl to a Java application on port 26789. Both Stunnel and the Java server run on a Windows 2003 server, with between 4GB and 8GB of ram, both running Dual Intel Zeon 2Ghz processors. The problem is that when the Stunnel server is under load, the maximum connections that we can achieve is 935 concurrent connections (Windows threads between 936 and 938), before Stunnel throws errors and starts closing the connections. Here is some additional information about our system: Stunnel version 4.21 (latest Windows binaries) OpenSSL 0.9.8g Stunnel Config: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- debug = 7 output = stunnel.log # Use it for client mode #client = yes #TIMEOUTidle = 60 socket = a:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = a:SO_LINGER=a:0 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:SO_LINGER=r:0 socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = l:SO_LINGER=l:0 # Service-level configuration [JAVASERVER] #session = 5000 accept = 443 connect = localhost: 26789 # delay = yes #transparent = yes ----------------------------------------------------------------------- We have tried various options, such as the TIMEOUTidle and session parameters for Stunnel, but with no luck. We have even tried running Stunnel separately on a Linux distro (FC4), with even less positive results. The pertinent errors in the log files are as follows: Connection closed: 178664 bytes sent to SSL, 44646 bytes sent to socket SSL alert (write): warning: close notify _beginthread: Exec format error (8) Connection rejected: create_client failed I can mail full logs of our load tests as well. Our server will be expected to handle upwards of 10000 connections at a time, we've been researching for about a week now how to get the performance we need, but so far nothing. Iain

Verify Question
by Vlad 08 Feb '08

08 Feb '08

I'm sure that people have asked this question before, but i cannot find a way to search the archives. What is the difference between verify = 2 and verify = 3, The docs indicate that with verify = 3it will check against locally installed certs, but what does that mean, if I use =2 then what does it verify the cert against? Also a second question: I'm pretty sure that the answer is no but is it possible to do the following, have a cert A that is signed by CA cert B which itself is singed by a self-signed cert C. If the clients has C installed as a trusted cert, and it received A, is there anyway for it to validate A. I realize that these are probably pretty novice questions so I really appreciate your patience, thanks!

xforwardedfor in config
by Jill Rochelle 04 Feb '08

I am new to stunnel and the ssl world. I'm trying to get stunnel to work with haproxy for load balancing https requests. In the haproxy documentation it says that the stunnel.conf should look like this cert=/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem setuid=stunnel setgid=proxy socket=l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket=r:TCP_NODELAY=1 [https] accept=192.168.1.1:443 connect=192.168.1.1:80 xforwardedfor=yes However, when I try to start the stunnel service I get this Starting stunnel: file /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf line 9: Specified option name is not valid here If I comment out the xforwardedfor parameter, it starts. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jill Rochelle

Connection Refused locally, SSL Proxy.
by Avner Peled 01 Feb '08

01 Feb '08

Hello! I have a game client connecting to a server using TCP over SSL. I'm trying to setup an SSL proxy using 2 stunnels on the same server like so: Client --> Stunnel-Server:20001 (decrypt)--> Stunnel-Client:901 (encrypt)---> Server:20001 Using latest stunnel-4.21-r1 on Gentoo kernel 2.6.22-gentoo-r9 I have a weird problem. The first connection after starting both stunnels works fine. Afterwards every time the client tries to connect, it gets refused once. Then it tries again and gets connected. Then the next time it will once again get refused once and then connect. I have looked at the logs and it seems the Stunnel server (the first) gets Connection Refused from localhost:901. Then it tries again and gets connected. The Stunnel client (the second) doesn't even mention the first failing local connection in the log. I have provided the config files of both stunnels and a log with debug = 7 (server ip's are censored) I have also tried the following config tweaks with no luck socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 TIMEOUTclose = 0 retry = yes Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!! -- Avner Peled. avnerus(a)gmail.com

debug level 7
by Damian Wiest 25 Jan '08

25 Jan '08

Hi, I'm new to stunnel and have run into some unexpected behavior. I'm inclined to think it's a bug, but perhaps I'm misunderstanding some things. I'm running FreeBSD 6.2 with stunnel 4.21 (installed via ports collection). I'm able to configure things properly when using stunnel in daemon mode, but am unable to run stunnel from inetd when I set the debug level to 7. Here's the config file I'm using, cert = /usr/local/CA/stunnel.pem key = /usr/local/CA/stunnel.pem sslVersion = all pid = /var/log/swat-stunnel.pid debug = 7 output = /tmp/stunnel.log exec = /usr/local/sbin/swat execargs = swat ...and the inetd.conf entry, swat stream tcp nowait.400 root /usr/local/sbin/stunnel stunnel /usr/local/etc/stunnel/swat.conf If I connect to port 901, some debug messages are written to the socket, dwiest(a)dfwdamian.vail: telnet localhost 901 Trying ::1... telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused Trying 127.0.0.1...

Shouldn't they go to either syslog, or to the file specified with the "output" option? I dug through the source code and discovered that file_putline() is being called from parse_config() before open_log() has been called. This results in file_putline() writing to stderr instead of the specified output file. If this is known behavior, then it would be nice if the man page mentioned something. -Damian

rtmps with stunnel
by David Schulberg 24 Jan '08

24 Jan '08

Hi, A while ago I reported an issue with using rtmps on linux to connect to a Red5 server through stunnel. I am having no issues on Windows. The rtmps connection is made from Flash code running in the browser. The error reported on Linux was 'SSL_accept: Peer suddenly disconnected' which occurs straight after 'SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization' . Now I am having a similar problem trying to connect from a MAC. In this case I also get 'SSL_accept: Peer suddenly disconnected' which occurs straight after 2008.01.24 16:39:31 LOG7[1608:2980]: SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization 2008.01.24 16:39:31 LOG7[1608:2980]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client hello A 2008.01.24 16:39:31 LOG7[1608:2980]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server hello A 2008.01.24 16:39:31 LOG7[1608:2980]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write certificate A 2008.01.24 16:39:31 LOG7[1608:2980]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server done A 2008.01.24 16:39:31 LOG7[1608:2980]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 flush data It seems to get further on the MAC but still fails.

stunnel with Fedora core
by Andy 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Hello everyone I am trying to configure stunnel on a Fedora Core machine, but have had little luck. The below configuration is in the /etc/stunne/stunnel.conf. I want this machine to send encrypted data to another machine via stunnel. My knowledge of stunnel is quite limited. chroot = /home/stunnel pid = /stunnel.pid setuid = stunnel setgid = stunne; debug = 7 output = /var/log/messages client = yes [ldap] accept = 389 connect = ldap.example.com:636 I have been told that this command will work. stunnel -c -d ldaps -r <LDAPSERVER>:ldaps This command does work under debian but does not work under fedora core. Can anyone help me with this? -- REGARDS, Andy

Debian Bug#460019: cert= produces output on stderr even with log= set
by Luis Rodrigo Gallardo Cruz 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

----- Forwarded message from Bryan Donlan <bd(a)fushizen.net> ----- Version: 3:4.21-1 With the following configuration: output = /srv/stun/log compression = zlib CApath = /srv/stun/keys cert = /srv/stun/server.pem connect = localhost:9999 verify = 3 The following is output on stderr: 2008.01.10 02:54:19 LOG5[11786:3083495088]: Peer certificate location /srv/stun/keys This confuses clients when stunnel is driven direcly from xinetd. This output, if it is produced at all, should be placed in the log file. ----- End forwarded message ----- The issue is that verify_init (verify.c:103) calls s_log(LOG_NOTICE, "Peer certificate location %s", section->ca_dir); apparently before the logfile is setup. Could the log file initialization be moved earlier in the starup sequence? Or maybe this log call's severity could be lowered.
