compiling stunnel 4.21 on solaris 10

Is this not compatible with Openssl 0.9.8f? I think 0.9.8g only reacently came out. Is this the only thing wrong. All my other applications work with this version of openssl. BTW I am using the sunfreeware version, because I wanted to avoid having to compile a bunch of software. i was planning to only compile Stunnel, and maybe swatch. I'll compile Openssl if there is no other way but I'd rather not. Any ideas? R

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.

Compiling Stunnel 4.21 on Solaris 10

I am trying to compile Stunnel 4.21 on Solaris 10 with no luck. I am using Openssl 0.9.8f. After running configure, I run make and receive the following output: (truncated for size) ------------------------------------------------------- /bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -m64 -g -O2 -Wall -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wpointer-arith -I/usr/local/ssl/include -o stunnel file.o client.o log.o options.o protocol.o network.o resolver.o ssl.o ctx.o verify.o sthreads.o stunnel.o pty.o -lz -ldl -lsocket -lnsl -lpthread -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto gcc -m64 -g -O2 -Wall -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wpointer-arith -I/usr/local/ssl/include -o stunnel file.o client.o log.o options.o protocol.o network.o resolver.o ssl.o ctx.o verify.o sthreads.o stunnel.o pty.o -lz -ldl -lsocket -lnsl -lpthread -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto Undefined first referenced symbol in file BIO_set_flags protocol.o SSL_CTX_set_info_callback ctx.o ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors.

I have used Stunnel to help build several secure log servers in the past, and I've never had problems getting it compiled and installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. cod3fr3ak

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. Maybe you should give the x509 openssl command a try: openssl x509 -in filename.crt -inform DES -out filename.pem HTH, Ludolf -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Ludolf Holzheid Tel: +49 621 339960 Bihl+Wiedemann GmbH Fax: +49 621 3392239 Floßwörthstraße 41 e-mail: lholzheid(a)bihl-wiedemann.de D-68199 Mannheim, Germany ---------------------------------------------------------------

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
by Marek Jarycki 11 Mar '08

11 Mar '08

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. Regards, deimoss

The problem was "foreground = yes". Since xinet.d redirects stderr back over the network connection, the stunnel startup messages were going back to the client. For some reason, the client didn't think that was a proper SSL handshake. ;-) -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher arequipeno(a)gmail.com ========================================================================
