PKCS12 support patch
by Dmitry Bakshaev 19 May '16

19 May '16

googling internet about using certificate and keys from PKCS12 file lead to convert it to PEM. it requires some additional utilities (openssl not default windows application) and manual steps to convert. this patch allow using PKCS12 directly from stunnel. example configuration: cert = /home/dab/.certs/my.p12 PKCS12-files detected by file extension (.p12 or .pfx, no case sensetive) and load specially. password prompted if needed, empty password also supported. code based on examples from: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mailing.openssl.users/iuBmSqwsIG4 http://openssl-users.openssl.narkive.com/J0bR3cMA/ssl-ctx-use-privatekey-fi… patch tested on stunnel working on linux (gentoo: from our overlay http://bbgentoo.ilb.ru/repos/bbgentoo/bbgentoo_overlay/branches/drafts/net-… ) and windows.

This self-signed certificate /is/ the current CA certificate, as it is the root of the peer's certificate chain and you trust it.

Requests to cloud server that requires host header
by Lorne Kates 18 May '16

18 May '16

(related to Akamai message from before-- but I have better troubleshooting information). I'm tying to route traffic through stunnel to a "cloud" based-endpoint. That endpoint has a static server name-- test.authorize.net. (This is the dev sandbox for auth.net). But if you do an nslookup on test.authorize.net, you'll get back a different servername and IP, because it's so wonderfully "cloud". Stunnel apparently tries to connect to the nslookup value. The server rejects the request because it can't route it back to test.authorize.net. I've tried adding "delay = yes" and "sni = test.authorize.net", but neither work. To see this in action, a simple setup with any accept, then connect to test.authorize.net:443 in client = yes mode. This is what a valid response looks like (13 -- give me the darn merchant ID in a POST): https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll This is what you'll get if you try to use stunnel (400 invalid url) : https://23.195.204.150/gateway/transact.dll So how can I get stunnel to send the proper Request Header (host: test.authorize.net), make sure it's using http/1.1, etc?

I never used verify = 0, but I had the understanding, stunnel should accept a connection even if the peer's certificate can't be verified. Anyhow, what happens if you add the self-signed certificate presented by the peer to the CA file?

No, this should be ignored as a comment. But you instructed stunnel to check the peer's certificate against the trusted ones (verify = 2), and the certificate chain the peer presents ends with a certificate not found in the CA file.

The file(s) for your pair of certificate and key should be specified with cert=... (and key=..., if certificate and key are stored to separate files). Are the log messages generated at stunnel startup or at connection establishment?

Some key/certificate repositories don't allow to export private keys. Maybe there is a PKCS11 plug-in for OpenSSL to access the keystore. If this is the case, you don't have to export your private key. But again, I don't know. > Additionally, I've thought about configuring Stunnel in client mode. > Here is the configuration: > [..] Running stunnel in client or server mode makes no difference w.r.t. certificate and key files. As long as stunnel is not able to access your private key, the client mode won't work either.

Hello David, Please reply to the list, so others are able to comment too. I don't know the 'default certificate provided by Stunnel'. I expect it to be depending on the distribution. However, if there are "BEGIN/END CERTIFICATE" lines in your file, but no "BEGIN/END RSA PRIVATE KEY", then the file is in PEM format, but the key is missing. Maybe you have separate files for private key and certificate. If this is the case, you may either concatenate key and certificate to a single file or specify both files in the stunnel configuration: >> key = my-private-key.pem >> cert = my-certificate.pem Ludolf -- Ludolf Holzheid Bihl+Wiedemann GmbH Floßwörthstraße 41 68199 Mannheim, Germany Tel: +49 621 33996-0 Fax: +49 621 3392239 mailto:[email protected] http://www.bihl-wiedemann.de Sitz der Gesellschaft: Mannheim Geschäftsführer: Jochen Bihl, Bernhard Wiedemann Amtsgericht Mannheim, HRB 5796
