I'm NOT going to break SSL protocol in stunnel to support broken SSL clients. Use: TIMEOUTclose = 0 configuration option instead. Best regards, Mike

multiple stunnel client
by Manila, Dinesh - Contractor 15 Feb '05

15 Feb '05

Hi, I am working in a project, whereas the EMS application need to be secured while communicating with NE. To make it secure, we have decided to go with stunnel and openSSL. I have following questions while using stunnel in my application: 1. I read that stunnel limits the number of clients to be connected to 125. Can I increase this number. If so, by increasing this number, what is the implication in performance of stuunel. 2. Since my EMS is capable of managing more than 1000 NEs, I would want to have multiple stunnel client running on the same workstation. Is this possible to have multiple stuunel process running on the same server. if so, how should my stunnle.conf file look like. I appreciate greatly, If I could get the answers for the above queries. Thanks and Regards, Dinesh Wipro Technologies. Bangalore.

Multiple listeners with just one instance of Stunnel?
by Michael Zarlenga 15 Feb '05

15 Feb '05

It doesn't seem possible to start 1 instance of Stunnel for multiple accept ports. Judging by the format of the Stunnel configuration file, it seems that I need to 1 instance of Stunnel for each port that accepts connections from the outside world. Is this true?

using no certificate
by Zohar 14 Feb '05

14 Feb '05

Hi, I'm very new to all this issue of SSL, so I apologize if this question sounds stupid. I currently have a server that listens to connections on a TCP port. Clients that connect to it may do so using SSL v3 (mobile clients, which use their own SSL packages, so I have very little control over it). I want to add stunnel to my server's setting, to enable SSL communication. I have no need for the client to authenticate the server, I am only interested in the data being encrypted. I tried setting this up, but the client complains that my server certificate cannot be authenticated (I produced it using http://www.stunnel.org/pem/) Any pointers on how to set such a thing up (even for the time being, while I develop), without having to pay lots of money to a CA ?

Multiple Instances of stunnel
by dps_maillists＠mac.com 11 Feb '05

11 Feb '05

Hi everyone; Is it possible to run multiple instances of stunnel (v 4.07) in client mode on a single machine? We sould like to use stunnel to secure connections from a small number of client applications (1 to 10) connecting to a larger number of server applications (200 per client app). Ideally, we would like to use one instance of stunnel per client. Many thanks in advance. Doug
