How do you configure Stunnel Ver 4.31 for TLSv1 - More Info
by David M. Douglass 11 Mar '10

11 Mar '10

Reference: Stunnel Ver 4.31 Windows Binaries This is the actual configuration file I am using. There is not too much to it. As shown below, this WORKS for Gmail's SSL port.. Port 465. Notice that the sslVersion statement is remarked "out". +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ output = STUNNEL.log taskbar = NO cert = stunnel.pem client = yes [SSMTP] accept=DADSXPPRO:8025 connect=smtp.gmail.com:465 ;sslVersion = TLSv1 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In theory (as I have read it...), to change this to TLS, I enable the sslVersion line, And change the port (for Gmail) to 587. Port 587 and TLS for Gmail have been tested and verified via Microsoft Outlook testing. But when I do so, I cannot even log onto the Gmail server. I get the error message referenced in the first message: 2010.02.25 10:35:44 LOG3[2696:2740]: SSL_connect: 1408F10B: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number It occurs to me that I am only using the "stunnel.pem" file, as supplied by the installer program. Do I have a certificate issue? David M. Douglass david(a)az-douglass.net Home (480) 839-2629 Cell (602) 908-9092

Problem with openssl engine
by Nick Sayer 27 Feb '10

27 Feb '10

I'm trying to use a smart card to hold on to the private key for my server. Since access to the smart card is restricted to one process at a time (not sure why it can't be shared, but that's a whole separate discussion), I'd like to use stunnel as the machine-wide SSL proxy. The problem is that with the pkcs11 engine configuration set up, it fails. 2010.02.27 00:15:03 LOG5[91580:0]: imaps accepted connection from 71.141.64.2:32934 2010.02.27 00:15:03 LOG7[91580:0]: SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization 2010.02.27 00:15:03 LOG7[91580:0]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client hello A 2010.02.27 00:15:03 LOG7[91580:0]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server hello A 2010.02.27 00:15:03 LOG7[91580:0]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write certificate A 2010.02.27 00:15:03 LOG7[91580:0]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server done A 2010.02.27 00:15:03 LOG7[91580:0]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 flush data 2010.02.27 00:15:03 LOG7[91580:0]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client key exchange A 2010.02.27 00:15:03 LOG7[91580:0]: SSL alert (write): fatal: bad record mac 2010.02.27 00:15:03 LOG3[91580:0]: SSL_accept: 1408F119: error:1408F119:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac 2010.02.27 00:15:03 LOG5[91580:0]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket 2010.02.27 00:15:03 LOG7[91576:0]: Cleaning up the signal pipe 2010.02.27 00:15:03 LOG7[91576:0]: Process 91580 finished with code 0 (0 left) ^C2010.02.27 00:15:42 LOG3[91576:0]: Received signal 2; terminating This happens *whether or not* I use the private key on the smart card itself. If I load the private key from a disk file, it still happens - even if there is no engineNum statement in the service configuration block. The only way to make it not happen is to comment out the engineCtrl lines. engine=dynamic engineCtrl=SO_PATH:/usr/local/lib/engines/engine_pkcs11.so engineCtrl=ID:pkcs11 engineCtrl=LIST_ADD:1 engineCtrl=LOAD engineCtrl=MODULE_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkcs11/opensc-pkcs11.so engineCtrl=INIT engineCtrl=PIN:12345678 [imaps] accept = 4993 connect = 143 engineNum = 1 key = id_10 ;cert = id_10 cert = /www.crt It's also worth noting that stunnel seems unable to pull the cert out of the card - that cert=id_10 line should work (works with openssl s_server). This stunnel was compiled last night from the FreeBSD ports tree with WITH_STUNNEL_SSL_ENGINE turned on. stunnel 4.29 on i386-portbld-freebsd8.0 with OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Global options debug = 5 pid = /var/tmp/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level options cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+RC4:@STRENGTH key = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem session = 300 seconds stack = 65536 bytes sslVersion = SSLv3 for client, all for server TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none Note that the same card in the same system can successfully provide ssl server sockets with Java using the Sun PKCS11 JCE provider configured to talk to the opensc PKCS11 module. So there's nothing wrong with the card.

How do you configure Stunnel Ver 4.31 for TLSv1
by David M. Douglass 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

I am using the Windows Binary of Version 4.31, and an external email utility that sends SMTP outgoing email. I can configure for specific ports (no problem). and I can send SSMTP SSLv3 with success. That is GOOD ! I am trying to configure Stunnel for sending TLSv1 without success. I understand (via the Version command and screen) that Stunnel defaults to SSLv3. How do I change that to TLSv1 ?? I found the parameter : sslVersion = version select version of SSL protocol Allowed options: all, SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1 This appears to be a "SERVICE LEVEL" option, and I have tried to use the line: sslVersion = TLSv1 in the [SSMTP] group of options (along with accept = and connect = ), but get an error message in the log file, which is shown next: 2010.02.25 10:35:44 LOG3[2696:2740]: SSL_connect: 1408F10B: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number I have also tried to put the sslVersion = line in the general configuration area, but generate the same error message. The outbound email does, in fact, fail. Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong ?? Or offer a solution for configuring Stunnel (V4.31) for TLSv1 ?? David M.

Access control/TCP wrappers
by Craig Watkinson 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

Hi, We're using stunnel to provide a secure interface to an old server that doesn't support HTTPS natively. I'd like to implement some access control so that connections are only supported from specific IP addresses. I am using v4.27 of stunnel that I downloaded from HPs website, and am running it from inittab to ensure it is always running. Unfortunately I don't think it's compiled with libwrap. Should I see libwrap listed when I run ldd against the binary (see below for output)? I think it's possible to run stunnel from inetd. Could I wrapper it here? Is the following entry correct? stunnel stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/tcpd /opt/iexpress/stunnel/bin/stunnel stunnel I think this would work, but I'm concerned that if stunnel was to crash or be killed that there would be nothing restarting it if we ran it from inetd. Any advice much appreciated Craig ------------------------------------- # ./stunnel -version stunnel 4.27 on ia64-hp-hpux11.23 with OpenSSL 0.9.7m 23 Feb 2007 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Global options debug = 5 pid = /opt/iexpress/stunnel/var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level options cert = /opt/iexpress/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL+RC4:@STRENGTH key = /opt/iexpress/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem session = 300 seconds stack = 65536 bytes sslVersion = SSLv3 for client, all for server TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none # ldd ./stunnel libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/hpux32/libdl.so.1 libnsl.so.1 => /usr/lib/hpux32/libnsl.so.1 libpthread.so.1 => /usr/lib/hpux32/libpthread.so.1 libunwind.so.1 => /usr/lib/hpux32/libunwind.so.1 libc.so.1 => /usr/lib/hpux32/libc.so.1 libxti.so.1 => /usr/lib/hpux32/libxti.so.1 libuca.so.1 => /usr/lib/hpux32/libuca.so.1 libdl.so.1 => /usr/lib/hpux32/libdl.so.1 _________________________________________________________________ Do you have a story that started on Hotmail?
