stunnel 4.13 released
by Michal Trojnara 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

Version 4.13, 2005.10.21, urgency: MEDIUM: * DLLs for OpenSSL 0.9.7i included because protection faults were reported in 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a. * New features - Libwrap code is executed as a separate process (no more delays due to a global and potentially long critical section). * Bugfixes - Problem with zombies in UCONTEXT threading fixed. - Workaround for non-standard makecontext() uc_stack.ss_sp parameter semantics on SGI IRIX. - Protection fault in signals handling on IRIX fixed. - Problem finding pthread library on AIX fixed. - size_t printf() fixed in stack_info() (the previous fix didn't work). - socklen_t is used instead of int where required. Homepage: http://stunnel.mirt.net/ sha1sum for stunnel-4.13.tar.gz: 4cb8e162e6cd4b4a966d601d1c890df2c2ee198f Best regards, Mike

smtp and tls
by Andy Cravens 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

Does stunnel support using TLS with SMTP? My SMTP server requires TLS but my client does not support it. Unfortunately, my SMTP server does not support SMTP over SSL so my only choice is to use TLS. I've seen some old threads concerning a patch to stunnel 3.x to do TLS but I read it was not a good solution. Does anybody have any information or opinions on this?

Hi all, I was tried stunnel 4.0.9 compiled with Openssl 0.9.7g on Redhat ES 3.0 and got the telnets sessions disconnected with error messages in stunnel.log as below: SSL alert (write): fatal: bad record mac SSL_read: 1408F455: error:1408F455:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac The same problem with stunnel 4.0.12 compiled with Openssl 0.9.8a Tried to disable the option socket = a:SO_REUSEADDR=0 in stunne server configuration file but still not help.

ECC-enabled version of Stunnel

Hello, I want to use a ECC-certificate for stunnel.pem, but it doesn't work. Can anybody help me, what I have to do, to use Elliptique Curve cryptography certificates in Stunnel? Is it still possible or not?

stunnel silently dies
by Uffe Vedenbrant 18 Oct '05

18 Oct '05

Hi! After using stunnel on several freebsd boxes i decided to try it out on my mailserver.. Unfortunately it silently died after first connection.. ( and with exitcode=0 ) debug = 7 Nothing more in the log than startup + a line about a incomming connection on port 9143.. ( where i put my incomming imap ) Nothing in any log on the box.. Ok.. It might be my openssl freebsd version or stunnel version so i started to upgrade everything.. Freebsd 4.4 -> 4.11 stunnel 4.05 -> 4.11 etc.. Well did it work.. Nop..;-) Finally i found out after tryin ktrace that the problem was that the tcpwrapper code killed me.. That's ok but there where no logging at all that the tcpwrapper silently decided that i was comming from a blocked host.. It's up now without tcpwrapper enabled and works perfect..;-) Is there any possibility to have stunnel to say something about tcpwrapper problems..;-) And not just die..;-) Regards /Uffe

client and server together?
by Sholund, Mark D, GVSOL 18 Oct '05

18 Oct '05

I have a situation in which I have a client system, a middle-tier application server, and a backend database. The middle-tier takes info from the client and sends requests to the database, in other words the middle-tier has to act as both a client and a server in different parts of a transaction. Is it necessary that I run two instances of stunnel, one with an stunnel-client.conf wherein client=yes and another instance with stunnel-server.conf wherein client=no or is it possible to configure a single stunnel to do this? I would guess it would be kind of like having "client=yes|no" at the service level; this is not an option as far as I can see from the man page for 4.12 but I figured I could at least ask.

Hello I've got problem with vnc over stunnel, stunnel on client computer crashes all the time. I did all configuration according to information at http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1677. Stunnel v 4.12, VNC version 4.1.1, all firewalls off, all computers in the same LAN. Tried on Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2000, on both of them there was a crash. All necessery (at least I think so) information are here: http://users.vlo.ids.gda.pl/~piotr/client.txt http://users.vlo.ids.gda.pl/~piotr/server.txt http://users.vlo.ids.gda.pl/~piotr/windows.txt Thank you in advance

Should I generate certifcates again? Meantime, I did configure it on my Ubuntu 10 X box, and manage to connect with server, so I guess server configuration is ok. Thanks for help. Best regards.

IMAP TLS support in stunnel 4?
by George Hartzell 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

Hi All, I'd like to put stunnel in front of dbmail-imap and dbmail-pop, since they don't offer any encryption. I understand I can just do straight ssl connections, but would like [prefer] to support TLS. I've found patches to the stunnel 3 series that implement TLS for IMAP, but haven't found any for version 4. Has someone implemented it for 4? Is there a technical or political reason/problem, or just not enough round-tuits? Thanks, g.

404 File Not Found when accessing webservice using STunnel (works fine without STunnel)
by Sundell Staffan 10 Oct '05

10 Oct '05

"stunnel 4.08 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu WIN32+IPv6 with OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004" Hi, this is my first try with both SSL & STunnel, so please excuse me for any missunderstandings a.s.o. I have problems running a STunnel in client-mode agains a SSL webservice. Our application does not support clientside-certificates, so i want to use STunnel to handle the SSL connection. For now, our webservice-provider has disabled the need for client-certificates (to help us narrow our problem down) But it still dont work. As a first step, i access whe webservice default-page through IE-Explorer. https://<ip>:3001/<path> and i am presented with the default-webpage. As i second step, i start stunnel with following .conf verify = 2 CApath = <path where i have saved all certificates as .pem:s with <hash>.0 filenames, from the direct-access example with explorer above> debug = 7 client = yes [https] accept = 127.0.0.1:3000 connect = <ip>:3001 TIMEOUTclose = 0 and try to access http://127.0.0.1:3000/<path> but i get: HTTP 404 File Not found. I have tried the same approach against a microsoft webservice at: https://test.uddi.microsoft.com/extension.asmx Without any problems. 1. I see no errors in the log, as i understand it (se below) can any one else with a more skilled eye see any problem ? 2. Our webservice-provider has an invalid hostname in its certificate (no public hostname, just IP during testing, but server certificate state www.fora.se) might that cause a problem ? (i have tried localy with invalid hostname in certificate without any problem though) 3. Is it possible to enable/disable verification of hostname in STunnel ? (as i understand it, the "verify" option in the STunnel.conf concerns the whole certificate-validation-process, and not just the hostname validation ?) 4. Could the problem be a config-issue on the webservice-provider end ? Im not sure, as it works with IE-Explorer, but not through STunnel ? 5. Any clue on where to look would be greatly apriciated, i have been working with this for a week, and i have been able to use STunnel both as server & client, with & without client-certs against everything i have tested localy and public (tried between diffrent home-made applications, on a local webserver, against verisign website a.s.o.) and everything works fine, except where i need it to work (against our webservice-provider).

STUNNEL and Windows 98 Second Edition
by David T. Ashley 08 Oct '05

08 Oct '05

I've installed STUNNEL on a Win 98 SE machine. Connections die after a few or a few hundred bytes. Any ideas? Thanks, Dave. ----------------------------------- David T. Ashley (dta(a)e3ft.com) Thousand Feet Consulting, LLC

UID/GID/Permissions Issue
by David T. Ashley 08 Oct '05

08 Oct '05

I've installed STUNNEL, works great, etc. etc. etc. Just one thing is a mystery .... The daemon definitely runs with UID "stunnel" (as I set it up), but still somehow it is able to grab its own keys and cert, as well as the client cert, which I set with root-only access. How is that possible? Does it buffer these things during startup (as root) before it sets UID/GID to stunnel, or am I missing something? Thanks. ----------------------------------- David T.

stunnel-4.12 Solaris 9 libwrap compile problem
by John Christian 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Hi gurus... I'm setting up a centralized log server for all of my Solaris 9 hosts. Kim's article at http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/syslog_ng.html is providing much of the guidence. I plan to use syslog-ng, but would like to have stunnel in place first. http://www.sunfreeware.com does not have a pre-rolled stunnel for Solaris 9. I'm receiving the error below when trying to compile stunnel-4.12 on Solaris 9. Can you offer any tips on overcoming the stunnelcompile error below? ERROR: [snip] gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wpointer-arith -I/usr/local/ssl/include -o stunnel client.o log.o options.o protocol.o network.o resolver.o ssl.o sthreads.o stunnel.o pty.o -lz -lsocket -lnsl -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto -lwrap Undefined first referenced symbol in file allow_severity /usr/sfw/lib/libwrap.so deny_severity /usr/sfw/lib/libwrap.so ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors.

My environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH is: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib:/usr/sfw/lib Thanks for taking the time to share any direct solutions or hints that will help me find a solution. -John __________________________________ Yahoo!

Help With Verify = 3
by David T. Ashley 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Hi, I installed Stunnel 4.12 on a Linux box, and am attempting to use it to secure SMTP e-mail injection from Windows machines. I have everything working, and I have a Windows Stunnel client which will inject mail into a Linux Stunnel server over TCP Port 465. However, I've been unable to find the right combination of verification settings to cause the server to refuse connections from clients without the right certificates. Right now, I'm able to inject mail if the client has ANY certificate. Is there any tutorial on how to generate the keys, .PEM files, and the Stunnel settings to have the behavior where only MY clients can inject mail? Thanks and best regards, Dave Ashley.

stunnel and logrotate
by Bohdan Linda 06 Oct '05

06 Oct '05

Hello, I have noticed that by sending -HUP signal to stunnel causes daemon to exit. The problem is when stunnel is logging to a file and the file was recreated (i.e. by logrotate). I have blindly configured logrotate to send -HUP to the stunnel after the logs are rotated and awaited 'common-habbit' functionality: re-read configuration and refresh file handles. But I was supprised: xxxx@yyyyy:/var/log# more stunnel.log.1 2005.09.27 14:07:51 LOG5[23244:3084273344]: stunnel 4.07 on xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2005.09.27 14:07:51 LOG5[23244:3084273344]: 500 clients allowed 2005.10.02 04:40:03 LOG3[23245:3084273344]: Received signal 1; terminating Apparently messages are going to the 'old' filehandle and stunnel exits. Is there any workaround to this except: 1) hard restarting stunnel 2) putting stunnel in inetd Thank you, Bohdan

Stunnel 4.12 won't work with Openssl 0.98
by Luca G. 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

Hi I upgraded yesterday from stunnel 4.11 to 4.12, and i had a few problems... Basically I have been unable to use latest libeay32.dll and libssl32.dll versions (the one that comes with stunnel's installation file). I use stunnel to tunnel a thightvnc connection from my windows xp sp2 workstation to a couple of windows 2000 server machine on the opposite side of the building. At the moment i'm keeping 0.98 files on the server machines, 0.97f on my client and it works These are my stunnel.conf files -----------------------------------client CAfile = CAcert.pem CApath = certificates cert = client.pem client = yes verify = 3 debug = 7 output = stunnel.log [vnc] accept = 127.0.0.1:5900 connect = 192.168.1.252:443 [vnc2] accept = 127.0.0.1:5899 connect =

4.12 Broken?
by G J Piper 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

The new Stunnel Version 4.12 doesn't work well with POPs mail retrieval on my system. Reverting back to 4.11 fixes it perfectly. With 4.12, various emails wouldn't come through, got random timeouts, LONG email retrieval times mainly. Sometimes an email would be impossible to retrieve from the spool file. Running Stunnel with default parameters. Standalone I believe POPs runs off xinetd. % uname -a FreeBSD pipercomputerservices.net 4.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE #0: Wed Aug 28 19:41:18 GMT 2002 root@osbuilder:/usr/src/sys/compile/SERVER i386 % gcc -v Using builtin specs. gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) [FreeBSD] % openssl version OpenSSL 0.9.6e 30 Jul 2002 % stunnel -version stunnel 4.11 on i386-unknown-freebsd4.4 PTHREAD+POLL+IPv4+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.6e 30 Jul 2002 Global options cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH debug = 5 key = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem pid = /usr/local/var/run/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes session = 300 seconds verify = none Service-level options TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds

Help: Remote desktop connection crashes Stunnel
by Jonathan Bell 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

In an attempt to get remote desktop set up over SSL tunneling with compression, I have installed stunnel on my Windows XP Professional SP2 machine and created a "portable" stunnel/config/dll zip that just contains the essentials to create a pre-configured tunnel. Here are the two config files: Server -------------------------------- ; Sample stunnel configuration file by Michal Trojnara 2002-2005 ; Some options used here may not be adequate for your particular configuration ; Certificate/key is needed in server mode and optional in client mode ; The default certificate is provided only for testing and should not ; be used in a production environment cert = stunnel.pem key = stunnel.pem ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 compression = zlib ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting debug = 6 output = G:\Stunnel Logs\stunnel.log taskbar = no ; Use it for client mode client = no ; Service-level configuration [remote-desktop] accept = 9833 connect = 127.0.0.1:3389 --------------------------------- Client --------------------------------- ; Sample stunnel configuration file by Michal Trojnara 2002-2005 ; Some options used here may not be adequate for your particular configuration ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 compression = zlib ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting debug = 7 output = stunnel.log taskbar = yes ; Use it for client mode client = yes ; Service-level configuration [remote-desktop] accept = 127.0.0.1:6389 connect = my.host.name:9833 ---------------------------------- The procedure I used was as follows - start Stunnel on the host, run upstairs with the zipped "portable" stunnel on a USB drive, run stunnel on the other PC, also running XP Pro SP2. Start->run->mstsc, enter 127.0.0.1:6389 and all that happens is that stunnel instantly crashes then Remote Desktop times out. What am I doing wrong?

Dual Instance of Stunnel Service on W2K
by Mundy Jennifer 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

Am new to stunnel and in need of some help. I have W2K box that has Stunnel installed as a service. Upon startup, it starts the service and uses the default stunnel.conf file. I would like to install a second Stunnel service and call a custom .conf service. Is this possible? I've read thru the documentation but haven't come across anything about a second service. We're running v4.05. I know I can get a second instance running via cmd line/batch file, but need the second instance to startup automatically so it can be monitored as well as other things.

stunnel4 user + permissions
by nick.hoffman＠altcall.com 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

Hey guys, I've been using stunnel for a while and it's great. I've noticed something that doesn't make much sense to me though, so I was wondering if you might be able to shed some light. Stunnel runs as user:group stunnel4:stunnel4. The server reads client certs (for verify = 3) from /etc/stunnel/certs/ which is chown'd root:ssl-certs and chmod'd 750. The client PEMs in that directory have the same ownership and permissions. User stunnel4 is in the ssl-certs group. When a client connects, the server is unable to read from /etc/stunnel/certs/. If I change the ownership of the directory to root:stunnel4 though, everything works. Any idea why this occurs? Cheers, Nick

Win2k, stunnel & Magic Mail Monitor questions
by Dana Rasmussen 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

Hello, I am running Windows 2000. I have recently learned of the stunnel tool. I am using it with Magic Mail Monitor, (MMM). MMM is a POP3 new mail notifier program. MMM allows me to configure a POP3 server by user name, host, password and POP3 port. MMM allows me to have multiple POP3 servers configured. Unfortunately, MMM does not use SSL. I have been able to get MMM to work with stunnel with the following stunnel.conf file: client = yes [MyPOP3SSL] accept=995 connect=mypop3server.com:995 The associated MMM configuration is: user: myuser host: 127.0.0.1 password:mypassword port:995 I would like to be able to add a second POP3 server to MMM, i.e. Gmail. If I add the following to the bottom of the existing stunnel.conf file Gmail POP3SSL access fails. If I add the following to the top of the existing stunnel.conf file the MyPOP3SSL fails but Gmail works. [GmailPOP3SSL] accept=995 connect=pop.gmail.com:995 The additional MMM configuration is: user:mygmail host: 127.0.0.1 password:mygmailpassword port:995 Is there a way to map the MMM configurations to the matching entries in the stunnel.conf file? Thank you, Dana

Stunnel Win32 binary
by Michal Trojnara 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

Dear Users, Some people were asking me for a standalone stunnel.exe file. It's located in stunnel-4.12/src directory of stunnel-4.12.tar.gz archive. Winzip can handle .tar.gz format, so you'll be able to unpack it. http://www.winzip.com/wzdifs.htm BTW: I recommend to try the installer, anyway. It's designed to make the upgrade much easier. You can simply enter the path where your current stunnel.exe and stunnel.conf are located during the install. stunnel.conf and stunnel.pem files won't be replaced and your Windows will remember the path so you won't have to enter it on next upgrade. Also the latest OpenSSL DLLs are installed in stunnel directory each time. Notes: 1. Uninstall removes stunnel.conf, so don't uninstall if you're only going to upgrade stunnel. 2. Remember to stop stunnel before you uninstall/upgrade it. Best regards, Mike

No encryption?
by Revelancefound＠aol.com 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Dear patient users, It seems that stunnel does not encrypt outward traffic from my pc. I was able to get stunnel to work in the first place by having different proxies for each protocol. However, to test if my 8196 bit + x509 certificate keys actually encrypted my traffic I decided to do a test. I had sniffed my own computer using Cain and Able while logging in to my home router. To my disappointment, the sniffer picked up my username and password in plain text through HTTP protocol several times. Either that or Able can crack 256bit level encryption (256 x 32 = 8196) rather quickly. My stunnel.conf file: ; Sample stunnel configuration file by Michal Trojnara 2002-2005 ; Some options used here may not be adequate for your particular configuration ; Certificate/key is needed in server mode and optional in client mode cert = C:\Program Files\stunnel\stunnel.pem key = C:\Program Files\stunnel\stunnel.pem ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ; Workaround for Eudora bug options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS ; Authentication stuff ;verify = 2 ; Don't forget to c_rehash CApath; CApath is located inside chroot jail: ;CApath = certs ; It's often easier to use CAfile: ;CAfile = certs.pem ; Don't forget to c_rehash CRLpath; CRLpath is located inside chroot jail: ;CRLpath = crls ; Alternatively you can use CRLfile: ;CRLfile = crls.pem ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting ;debug = 7 ;dutput = C:\Program Files\stunnel\stunnel.log ; Use it for client mode client = yes ; Service-level configuration client = yes verify = 0 ;[pop3s] ;accept = 995 ;connect = 110 ;[imaps] ;accept = 993 ;connect = 143 [ssmtp] accept = 127.0.0.1:465 connect = httpsupportingproxy4:3124 TIMEOUTclose = 0 [http] accept = 127.0.0.1:444 connect = httpsupportingproxy3:6588 TIMEOUTclose = 0 [https] accept = 127.0.0.1:443 connect = httpsupportingproxy2:6588 TIMEOUTclose = 0 [ftps] accept = 127.0.0.1:21 connect = httpsupportingproxy1:6588 TIMEOUTclose = 0 ; vim:ft=dosini And my bat file used to generate keys: openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -config C:\OpenSSL\bin\openssl.cnf -out stunnel.pem -keyout stunnel.pem ;requirements: ;OpensSSL.exe in C:\windows directory ;Installation of Win32OpenSSL-v0.9.8.mis to C:\ ;Edit C:\OpenSSL\bin\openssl.cnf strings ;[ req ] ;default_bits = 8196 ;default_keyfile = stunnel.pem ;distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name ;attributes = req_attributes ;x509_extensions = v3_ca # The extentions to add to the self signed cert Cain Log: ================================================================== = Cain's MAC Scanner/Promiscuous-mode Detector = ================================================================== IP Address: (Router) MAC Address: (RouterMAC) OUI Fingerprint: Cisco-Linksys, LLC Hostname: ARP Test (Broadcast 31-bit): * ARP Test (Broadcast 16-bit): * ARP Test (Broadcast 8-bit): * ARP Test (Group bit): * ARP Test (Multicast group 0): * ARP Test (Multicast group 1): * ARP Test (Multicast group 3): * Am I doing something wrong here?

question about usage of configfile
by Revelancefound＠aol.com 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

To put it blatantly, I am trying to make stunnel 4.12 create a 2 way encrypted channel from my home computer as a client to an SSL supporting proxy (HTTP). Also, I am using localhost (127.0.0.1) as a connect address for proxy settings in such programs as Internet Explorer or a download manager. A sample of my stunnel.conf is bellow: client = yes verify = 0 [https] accept = 127.0.0.1:8080 connect = ssl.supporting.httpproxy.with.openport:80 TIMEOUTclose = 0 ; vim:ft=dosini My computer currently has the following installed: stunnel-4.12 Opensslv0.9.8 (Win32OpenSSL-v0.9.8.exe) ActivePerl-5.8.7.813-MSWin32-x86-148120.msi Windows XP Home Edition (SP2) Whenever I try to connect to 127.0.0.1:8080 the stunnel log reports 2005.09.23 20:57:33 LOG5[6012:5668]: stunnel 4.12 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu WIN32+IPv6 with OpenSSL 0.9.8 05 Jul 2005 2005.09.23 20:57:33 LOG5[6012:4600]: No limit detected for the number of clients 2005.09.23 20:57:38 LOG5[6012:1560]: https connected from 127.0.0.1:3226 2005.09.23 20:59:10 LOG5[6012:5396]: https connected from 127.0.0.1:3232 2005.09.23 21:04:10 LOG5[6012:4576]: https connected from 127.0.0.1:3249 2005.09.23 21:09:10 LOG5[6012:4652]: https connected from 127.0.0.1:3268 2005.09.23 21:14:10 LOG5[6012:5396]: https connected from 127.0.0.1:3283 2005.09.23 21:19:12 LOG5[6012:1556]: https connected from 127.0.0.1:3296 2005.09.23 21:24:13 LOG5[6012:4072]: https connected from 127.0.0.1:3309 2005.09.23 21:29:23 LOG3[6012:3408]: Failed to initialize remote connection 2005.09.23 21:29:23 LOG5[6012:6140]: https connected from 127.0.0.1:3332 And so on into infinity Am I trying to do the impossible, or are all those 8196 bit RSA keys (certified through x508) that I generated going to waste?

I have been using stunnel for a while with great success, only one minor issue, I am using stunnel for my http server and it ALWAYS logs traffic as coming from the stunnel IP rather than the IP address it is really coming from, is there a way around this?

Hi, 4.0.6 claim about "The procedure entry point freeaddrinfo could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.DLL" 4.0.7 and above crashes "...has generated errors". Windows 2000 is IPv6 enabled by <http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/sdks/platform/tpipv6.asp> with information from: <http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/sdks/platform/tpipv6/faq.asp> Is it planned to fix this issue?

Help Installing Stunnel After Reformat Drive
by mxrtmxd72＠att.net 22 Sep '05

22 Sep '05

I have been using Stunnel with Agent versioin 3. My system recently crashed and I had to re-format the hard drive, reinstall Windows XP, and reinstall my apps. I have followed the directions at wurd.com/cl_ssl_stunnel.php#Windows. Fortunately, I had backups of the required files. I placed libeay32.dll, libssl32.dll, stunnel-4.10.exe, and stunnel.conf in C:\Stunnel. I placed a shortcut on the desktop which points to C:\Batch\runagent.bat. C:\Batch\runagent.bat consists of the following line: c:\batch\runagent.cmd c:\batch\runagent.cmd consists of the following lines: net start stunnel "C:\Program Files\Agent\agent.exe" net stop stunnel There is also a desktop shortcut which points to C:\Stunnel\stunnel-4.10.exe. When I place a pause command following the net start stunnel line in runagent.cmd a message appears: The service name is invalid. The WURD document seems to imply that it is not necessary to run stunnel-410.exe -install unless you want Stunnel to run all the time. Am I missing something? I don't remember exactly how I made this work when I first installed it before my system crashed. Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks. Mort Middleman Print. Move to folder:

10x for the quick reply Alaric! Just want to see if I fully understand your note.. You set the stunnel daemon (/application) on a certain client machine. (let's say you have an IMAP client on it) Then, you configure your Argosoft server, which is set on another machine, to listen to SSL communication (i.e. IMAPS). Is this correct?

stunnel-4.11 patch for multiple certificates
by Nick Tolomiczenko 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

Hi stunnel users, I placed a patch to stunnel-4.11 that will enable it to handle multiple certificates. It is currently awaiting moderator approval. For those who can't wait, please contact myself, Nick Tolomiczenko, or Shem Ali below. Here's the description of what it does: This patch addresses the need for service-level ssl contexts. In particular, the following options which were only available as global options may now be used at the service level: cert, key, CApath, CAfile, ciphers, CRLpath, CRLfile, options, client and verify. If any of these options are used in a service section, stunnel will override its global setting -- if it exists -- and initialize a separate ssl context for the service. On the other hand, for those services that do not specify any of these options, stunnel will fall back on what was specified in the global section of the configuration file and intialize a "common" ssl context for those services. Note: If all services each specified at least one the the above ssl options, then the no "common" ssl context will be initialized since each service will have its own. In this case, it's still a good idea to put common default ssl options in the global section as each service will inherit these settings even if the service initializes its own ssl context.

Hi. Can I use stunnel only on a client side, in case on the other side, the server already supports SSL? Will this work for SPOP3 and SMTP\S? 10X! Oren Amiram

[BUG] Stunnel 4.10 + xinetd : Connection reset by peer
by Eric Piel 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

Hello, I've upgraded to stunnel 4.10 yesterday and since this time I can't managed to get stunnel working with xinetd. I try to access a CVS server with ssl encryption. If stunnel is started as stand-alone, it works as before, but when it's started by xinetd all I get is: cvs [update aborted]: reading from server: Connection reset by peer I've attached the connection logs with 4.09 and 4.10 as well as my configuration file (which used to work for more than a year). My xinetd is version 2.3.13 (and I haven't changed it for several months). Please, let me know if I'm overlooking at something or if I can try anything to debug more in depth... Thanks in advance, Eric PS: actually the CVS is accesible from outside, so you might want to try yourself! # Sample stunnel configuration file # Copyright by Michal Trojnara 2002 setuid = root setgid = root # Authentication stuff verify = 2 CAfile = /etc/ssl/stunnel/lifl-cvs.pem # Use it for client mode client = yes #debug = 7 #output = /home/eric/busy/stunnel.log connect = cvs.lifl.fr:2405

Re: Flyspray task #7 - CRLfile is never refreshed
by Kartik Subbarao 27 Aug '05

27 Aug '05

I wanted to follow up on this. Flyspray did not let me add a comment since the bug is closed, so I'm posting to the mailing list. 1. I tried using CRLpath (and setting up the symbolic link properly to the hashed value), but that had the same behavior as CRLfile. It only reads the actual CRL once. If I update the file on disk, it never re-reads the file. So I don't see how this is a workaround. Am I missing something? 2. As I mentioned in my initial report, it is a significant disruption for existing stunnel processes to be killed. If it were possible just to kill the main daemon without also killing the child processes (i.e. like sshd), that could be a workaround. But currently, killing the main stunnel process also kills all child stunnel processes. I guess I don't understand what else one could do in this situation, apart from having the application properly reread the CRL on a regular basis. (OCSP is not yet available). When you say that "that's how openssl works", are you saying that the API does not allow you to reread/reload the CRL file? That seems rather odd. It seems like there should be some kind of way to refresh the OpenSSL data structures that store the CRL. Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.

[stunnel patch] updated transparent proxy on linux 2.6 using cttproxy patch

hello folks, here comes an improved version of the transparent proxy patch, basically solving the previous TODO issues. please try it if you are interested in transparent stunnel. any feedback il welcome. the code is heavly based on the examples distributed along with the cttproxy patch, many thanks to Balzs Scheidler for its great work and to Lennert Buytenhek for the skaidrus example program. this code is (re)distributed under the GPL version 2 MAtteo ---README--- cttproxy patch to stunnel MAtteo HCE Valsasna (matteo dot valsasna at uninsubria dot it) based on example code in cttproxy patch ports stunnel transparent proxy to cttproxy kernel patch allow stunnel server to connect to the application server faking the stunnel client's IP source address. the server sees connections coming from the stunnel client's IP address instead of that of the stunnel server, and thus can apply admission control, bandwidth control, logging policies as if the client connected directly. should work 2.4 and 2.6 kernels and 2.0.x cttproxy patch tested with kernel 2.6.12.5 and cttproxy-2.6.12-2.0.2 patch setup: * application server(s): here run the application(s) you want to access trough stunnel must route all traffic, or at least all traffic for transproxyed connections, trough the stunnel server * stunnel server: must not be the same host as the application server grab recent kernel source patch your kernel source with the appropriate cttproxy patch (from http://www.balabit.com/products/oss/tproxy/) configure kernel with: CONFIG_IP_NF_TPROXY=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_TPROXY=m CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_TPROXY=m make and install kernel reboot and choose patched kernel load tproxy kernel modules # modprobe iptable_tproxy # modprobe ipt_tproxy enable ip forwarding (this must act as a router) # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward grab stunnel source and extract it $ tar xzf stunnel-4.11.tar.gz patch it $ patch -p0 < cttproxy.patch configure selecting tproxy support $ ./configure --enable-tproxy make and install $ make # make install run stunnel in server mode with transparent = yes remote = <application server>:<port> in conf file * stunnel client run plain stunnel, client = yes remote = stunnel server * application client may or may not be the same host as the stunnel client connect to stunnel client to talk securely to application server ---PATCH---diff -crb /tmp/stunnel-4.11/configure stunnel-4.11/configure *** /tmp/stunnel-4.11/configure 2005-07-09 23:00:44.000000000 +0200 --- stunnel-4.11/configure 2005-08-25 16:59:57.000000000 +0200 *************** *** 463,469 **** # include <unistd.h> #endif" !

RE: stunnel and OpenSSL v0.9.8 - tunneling the UDP. Possible?

Hello Michal, Just one thought: - if the stunnel on LAN1 joins a group to receive a multicasted stream does it really depend on DTLS's [in]ability to handle the multicasting? I see it this way - on LAN1 a machine running the (first instance of) stunnel joins a group, i.e. stunnel is told to open a socket with all the relevant socket options. Then, another machine on LAN2 (behind NAT + firewall + internet + firewall + NAT) connects to the first stunnel and tells it's own instance of stunnel to open a socket with all the relevant socket options to emit the (apparently) multicasted stream. Please comment. -- Best regards, Tony

[stunnel patch] transparent proxy on linux 2.6 using cttproxy patch
by MAtteo HCE Valsasna 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

hi folks: as suggested in http://www.stunnel.org/faq/transparent.html#ToC3, I modified the stunnel code to use the transparent proxy funcionality on 2.6 (and possibly 2.4) linux kernels with the cttproxy patch (http://www.balabit.com/products/oss/tproxy/, I used )cttproxy-2.6.12-2.0.2. on a clean 2.6.12.5 kernel) the patch is higly incomplete, but it works (see TODO). please try it if you are interested in transparent stunnel. any feedback il welcome. MAtteo the code is heavly based on the examples distributed along with the cttproxy patch, many thanks to Balázs Scheidler for its great work and for making it GPL. with this patch, I was able to run a stunnel in server mode with the transparent option, and the application server I connected to saw the IP address of the stunnel client. of course, this code il also redistributed under the GPL. conditions for running stunnel in transparent mode: if you want to try this patch, you MUST modify the hardcoded IP address in client.c to the IP address of the stunnel server (look for DOIT! in the source code). any improvements wellcome. the stunnel server must run a linux kernel patched with the cttproxy patch the stunnel server and the application server cannot be the same host the application server must believe that it has to route all packets of transparently tunneled connections via the stunnel server. thus the two server should be on the same subnet. I was also able to use linux policy routing to avoid modifying the general routing on the application server: transparently tunneled connections are directed to a different IP on the application server, where a policy rule applies a specific routing table to packets with that source address (see at the end of this message). TODO: stunnel must explicitly bind to an *existing* local address (not loopback) before calling setsockopt(SOL_IP, IP_TPROXY, TPROXY_ASSIGN)"). now the address is hardcoded in the patch, it should automatically find a local address to bind to (or get it from the config file) now the code will only run with tproxy patch version 2.0.2 it should be less strict about tproxy version (make it a configurable option in stunnel?). which tproxy version will it run with? auto detect or configure kernel version (2.2 vs 2.4 or 2.6 with cttproxy), or better add it in .configure ----begin patch----- *** /tmp/stunnel-4.11/src/client.c 2005-07-02 08:55:58.000000000 +0200 --- stunnel-4.11/src/client.c 2005-08-22 12:19:57.000000000 +0200 *************** *** 44,49 **** --- 44,60 ---- #define SHUT_RDWR 2 #endif + #define LINUX_NETFILTER + #define LINUX_TPROXY + + /* transparent proxy */ + #ifdef LINUX_NETFILTER + #include <linux/netfilter_ipv4.h> + #endif + #ifdef LINUX_TPROXY + #include <linux/netfilter_ipv4/ip_tproxy.h> + #endif + /* TCP wrapper */ #ifdef USE_LIBWRAP #include <tcpd.h> *************** *** 921,926 **** --- 932,944 ---- int s; /* destination socket */ u16 i; + // struct in_addr *local=NULL; + #ifdef LINUX_TPROXY + int f; + struct in_tproxy itp; + struct sockaddr_in tproxy_sin; + #endif + /* setup address_list */ if(c->opt->option.delayed_lookup) { resolved_list.num=0; *************** *** 945,960 **** if(alloc_fd(s)) return -1; ! if(c->bind_addr.num) { /* explicit local bind or transparent proxy */ ! memcpy(&bind_addr, &c->bind_addr.addr[0], sizeof(SOCKADDR_UNION)); ! if(bind(s, &bind_addr.sa, addr_len(bind_addr))<0) { ! sockerror("bind transparent"); ! closesocket(s); ! return -1; ! } ! } ! ! /* try to connect for the 1st time */ s_ntop(c->connecting_address, &addr); s_log(LOG_DEBUG, "%s connecting %s", c->opt->servname, c->connecting_address); --- 963,1053 ---- if(alloc_fd(s)) return -1; ! if(c->bind_addr.num && !c->opt->option.transparent) { ! /* explicit local bind, not transparent mode */ ! ! memcpy(&bind_addr, &c->bind_addr.addr[0], sizeof(SOCKADDR_UNION)); ! if(bind(s, &bind_addr.sa, addr_len(bind_addr))<0) { ! sockerror("bind transparent"); ! closesocket(s); ! return -1; ! } ! sockerror("local bind succeeded"); ! } ! ! if (c->opt->option.transparent){ ! ! /* transparent proxy support on 2.[46] linux kernels */ ! /* added by MAtteo HCE Valsasna (matteo.valsasna(a)uninsubria.it), 20050822 */ ! /* requires tproxy kernel patch (http://www.balabit.com/products/oss/tproxy */ ! /* based on examples in cttproxy patch */ ! ! /* FIXME: should detect 2.2 kernel or 2.[46] + cttproxy patch and use appropriate code */ ! ! memcpy(&bind_addr, &c->bind_addr.addr[0], sizeof(SOCKADDR_UNION)); ! ! /* check tproxy version */ ! itp.op = TPROXY_VERSION; ! itp.v.version = 0x00000000; ! ! getsockopt(s, SOL_IP, IP_TPROXY, &itp, &f); ! s_log(LOG_NOTICE, "pre getsockopt(s, SOL_IP, IP_TPROXY): %x", itp.v.version); ! ! /* FIXME: should accept a range of tproxy versions - which?

Hello stunnel-users, OpenSSL from v0.9.8 onwards (I'm told) supports a thing called DTLS. On the OpenSSL's list I was told that it's the tool one needs to use for UDP tunneling. Are there any plans to use this OpenSSL's functionality in the stunnel? I need to securely tunnel the UDP traffic, namely multicasted datagramms. -- Best regards, Tony.

Stunnel HTTPS Client Issue
by Salar Madadi 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

Hello, We are having a problem with our application using STUNNEL and are stuck. I have detailed the issue below with more detailed info about our setup. I am not very familiar with the SSL protocol so I am having trouble identifying the differences between the log samples I posted to determine what the issue may be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Salar Madadi - Latest Developments Inc. Problem Description ************************************ We are using Stunnel to provide an HTTPS client for use with the UPS ShipXML service. Our application is an xBase++ 1.82 service using the XB2.NET library, running on a windows 2003 server. The application opens a connection to stunnel, which then connects to the UPS https server to send and retrieve an xml response with shipping data. UPS made a change to their service last week related to load balancing and our application has not worked since then. When we send an XML document to UPS we receive the exact same XML document back as if it has been bounced instead of the proper response. Our setup was working until they made the change and they have no idea what is going on. Stunnel Version ***************************************** The problem initially happened with stunnel v. 4.05 and openSSL v. 0.9.7c. I have also tried it with stunnel v. 4.11 and openSSL v. 0.9.7f and the same result occurs.

Any examples of Stunnel usage in "enterprise environments"?
by Claus Lund 06 Aug '05

06 Aug '05

Hi everybody, I was just wondering if there are any public examples of widespread Stunnel usage in an enterprise environments? I'm a UNIX admin where I work and we are currently working on trying to find a solution for encrypting all network traffic to and from the UNIX machines (all the clients are using Windows boxes). We are running a variety of services on the boxes including Samba, homegrown services for our 3-tier app, Oracle, DB2 etc... I already have proof of concept setups for every network service that we offer but I think some "real-world examples" would go a long to convince my boss (and the Windows admins) that Stunnel is a viable option for us. Thank you in advance, Claus

Many times people have written in pointing out problems with stunnel crashing, dumping core, locking up, yet all you can offer is 'never report problems with older versions', 'you have no right to complain', etc etc, and now you have the arrogance to tell us all we have no clue how to report bugs. I get the feeling you are upset because so many of us discover problems with this software. Andrew

Stunnel dumping core
by Stephen Tanner 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

I've been running stunnel to tunnel syslog-ng messages to a loghost. On some occasions, be it a network maintenance issue or fluke, if a server loses connection to the loghost, stunnel starts spewing broken pipe messages to syslog. Sometimes shutting it down while it is doing this, it will dump core. Anyone have an idea on what might be causing this? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Stephen Tanner HP-UX Systems Administrator Network Support Services Lee County Clerk of Courts =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Error resolving '...' (Windows)
by Oliver Ackermann (infowing AG) 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

On a Windows 2000 machine I always get the following error when I try to start stunnel (4.11): Error resolving 'x.y.z.23': Neither nodename nor servname known (EAI_NONAME) The client should connect to a server using SSL. x.y.z.23 is a static IP address of the client. The client has multiple IP addresses and stunnel should use this one to connect to the server. Contents of stunnel.conf: client=yes [service] local=x.y.z.23 accept=12345 connect=server:12345 Why does stunnel try to "resolve" this IP? Is the configuration correct? Thanks for your help! Oliver

ftp support for stunnel-4.11 (still has errors, do not know why)
by ZHUANG YUYAO 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

hi, here is the initial patch (pre-pre-pre-alpha! just a demo/test) for adding ftp support to stunnel-4.11. Known bugs: 1) only tested under linux. debian 3.1 (testing), gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13) 2) ftp_alloc_port() in ftp.c is not yet finished. just a demo; 3) only works when configured with --with-threads=ucontext. does not work with --with-threads=pthread! 4) libwrap support is not tested. 5) only tested with flashfxp (3.0.2 build(1043) implicit SSL); 6) still contains memory leaks. 7) can only successfully transfer(RETR) small files whose size is less than about 90K bytes. stunnel hangs while transferring a larger file, looks like poll() in scan_waiting_queue() (network.c line 164) can not receive a POLLOUT event from ssl_wfd->fd after successfully transfered 90K bytes. the log file is also included in this mail. bug #7 really frustrats me. still do not know why. could anyone please give me some hints?

some thoughts of add ftp server proxy support to stunnel4. comments required
by ZHUANG YUYAO 30 Jul '05

30 Jul '05

Hi, I am thinking about adding ftp protocol support to stunnel4. first, some restrictions to simplify the implimentation: 1) only support for stunnel running in server mode, users can use ftp clients which support ssl connection (ie. FlashFXP) to connect to the real ftp server through stunnel daemon; 2) only support standalone service mode of stunnel. (inted support may be added later, I've just read the source code related to standalone service, and have not got any clue about how to support inetd.) 3) only support FTP implicit SSL and PASSIVE mode; the code may look like this: (the real ftp server is at 192.168.10.254, listening on port 21.) 1) start a stunnel daemon nonmally with accept = 990, remote = 192.168.10.254:21, protocol = ftp; 2) when a connection come in, parse the ftp server response, search for "227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,10,254,133,22)", then got the data connection IP: 192.168.10.254 PORT: 34070; 3) plus 1 to the data connction port 34070, then we got 34071 which will be used as stunnel accept port; 4) create a LOCAL_OPTIONS structure instance opt (prototypes.h) dynamically, set opt->accept=1, opt->local_addr same to the parent stunnel, change its port to 34071, opt->remote_addr = real data connection (IP: 192.168.10.254 PORT: 34070); opt->fd = socket(), bind(); 5) set local_option->next = opt; 6) s_poll_add (&fds, opt->fd, 1, 0); (stunnel.c) (the local variable fds needs to be changed to a global variable, by the way, I think it is also required if stunnel want real SIGHUP configuration-on-the-fly support) 7) changed server response to "227 Entering Passive Mode (STUNNEL_LOCAL_HOST,133,23)", then send back to client. 8) the client will then connect to STUNNEL_LOCAL_HOST port = 34071, negotiate SSL session and send/receive data; 9) after ftp session finished (How to know a ftp session is finished?), free the dynamic LOCAL_OPTIONS opt, remove opt->fd from fds, close the data sessoin. There are only two source file (stunnel.c, protocol.c) need to be modified to implement these functions. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you. Zhuang Yuyao 2005/7/28

Hi, I am new to stunnel and Linux. I am trying to set up a secure connection to a server which can be accessed from any web browser on a designated port. I need to be able to access a web browser server administration interface, this is over http, I need to make this an https connection. I have compiled and installed stunnel on a Linux machine (FC4) but can't seem to get any response from it or make it work. If anyone can explain, step by step, how to configure stunnel for general https usage, it would be greatly appreciated. I have looked through the documentation but I have not been able to get it to work. I have also noticed that webmin supports stunnel but there is nothing in it. I added this to the conf file: [https] accept = 8080 connect = 28477 TIMEOUTclose = 0 Thanks

3.x branch updates
by Brian Hatch 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

As y'all can probably see, I've started climbing out from the rock under which I've been living (the rock called "too many kids".) If there are folks who have issues or bugs in stunnel 3.x, let's get talking off list so we can make another release. I'd like to include only security or bug fixes. The 4.x branch is totally fine, and I see no reason to add new features to the 3.x branch. This would be one of at most a few last bug fix releases for the 3.x branch so I can lay it to rest. -- Brian Hatch "Look, somebody's got to have Systems and some damn perspective around Security Engineer here.

Linux pppd VPN network notwork very well
by Colin McKinnon 27 Jul '05

27 Jul '05

Hi all, I've got two two LANs behind masquerading routers that I've linked via a stunnel + pppd vpn. When it works, it works, but I've got a couple of problems - has anybody out there in Stunnel Land managed to fix / workaround these? 1) The connection goes down fairly regluarly. I've setup a cron job to move a few packets back and forth to make sure that the ADSL connection at both ends stays up (pppd set not do demand stuff). There's nothing in the logs to suggest that the ADSL *is* going down, but I thought it would eliminate a lot of possibilities. (see log entries below). Currently the link is going down at lesat once per day. Uptime varies greatly. I can't see anyway of asking stunnel to try again if the pppd exits (see conf below) other than manually restarting it. I'm hoping to scale the VPN up to multiple sites - with one connection, I can just do /etc/rc.d/stunnel restart - but if I've got multiple instances of stunnel running with different configs it gets a bit messy to reset a single connection. I did think about having multiple hard links to the stunnel binary, so each VPN will have a different process name attached to it, but this strikes me as a bit of a hack. 2) bandwidth on the link is poor. I consistently get 1/4 of the bandwidth (measured using scp to copy largish files) compared with bypassing the stunnel/pppd pair (same route between LANs). While I expected some overhead, this seems rather a lot. 3) latency is a lot higher too 4) The VPN seems to stutter more regularly than the direct connection ...I mean that I don't seem to be getting any traffic for 5-10 seconds then it resumes without any loss of data (e.g. when using ssh). The routers at either end are relatively dumb so (as I understand it) there's not many options for using IPIP or GRE tunnelling). Anybody got any suggestions as to how I can make it (particularly) more reliable and (also) a bit faster?

newbie q: stunnel -d and -r options
by Jagannadha Bhattu 27 Jul '05

27 Jul '05

I was reading a book where they discussed using stunnel as client and server proxy with -d -r and -c options. I have SuSE 9.3 and the stunnel on it has different options. Then I found that we have to use config file. I used it to configure my server. I defined the following section: [myserver] accept = 12345 connect = 12323 Here my server listens on 12323. I have my server already running. Now I typed stunnel and nothing happened. I typed "pgrep stunnel" and could not see anything. Apparently I have not understood how stunnel works. Can some one let me know how can I configure to use stunnel to secure my server app and my client app which are not ssl aware. I also have a question. The book which I am reading says, stunnel acts as a proxy for a server app. If my server app is listening on A then if I want stunnel to service all clients connecting to A then how can it do it as that port is already serviced by my server app. Thanks JB

samba over stunnel performance
by Brian Szymanski 26 Jul '05

26 Jul '05

Howdy... I'm trying to run samba over stunnel on a wireless connection. Here's the setup: unix box <- wifi -> windows laptop Unfortunately, reading files from the shared drive is extremely slow. If I look at the stunnel box on my windows machine, it is pumping out about 20 messages/second that say: LOG7[2140:3636]: SSL_read returned WANT_READ: retrying On two >1GHz machines, this is utilizing about 5% of cpu, and 4% of the 11Mbps link. Clearly there is room for improvement here! I tried poking around with stunnel.conf on the server to no avail - specifically, I commented out the lines: ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ;compression = rle And restarted stunnel - same miserable performance (roughly the same throughput, and resource usage). Is there something about the SMB protocol that would cause stunnel to not deal with it well? If so, is there a configuration option somewhere I can tune, or do I have to RTFS & hack it to get decent performance here? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Problems compiling on AIX5.2 -- ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .inflateEnd

25 Jul '05

Hi everybody, I am trying to get stunnel 4.11 compiled on my AIX boxes but I am not having much luck. I am using GCC 3.3.2 on AIX 5.2. OpenSSL has been compiled and is working on those same boxes (OpenSSL 0.9.8). I configured stunnel using: root@tax178:/tmp/stunnel/stunnel-4.11 # ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc/stunnel --prefix=/usr/local --disable-libwrap And everything seems to go OK during the config steps. When I try to build stunnel it comes up with a series of warnings and eventually dies with a bunch of errors.

Poll Problem
by John O'Fallon 24 Jul '05

24 Jul '05

I have confirmed that the problem I reported last week (on Mac OS X, streams are truncated with a reported "s_poll_wait returned 1, but no descriptor is ready" error) can be corrected by using the older "select" versions of the network functions. I did this by tweaking the source, but would like to make the fix as cleanly as possible, so... Sorry if this is in the docs (I couldn't find it), but what is the best way to disable the poll option?

Question regarding SSL v2/v3
by vasudha.upadhyaya＠convergys.com 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

We have been using Stunnel 4.05 now for quite sometime now with OpenSSL 0.97d.I had a question regarding the SSL Version.When I look into the Stunnel.log I see Negotiated ciphers: AES256-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA1 This means that stunnel is using AES-256-SHA1 which uses SSL v3. Is it standard for stunnel4.05 to use SSL v3 or is it dependent on the OpenSSL Version. We haven't configured anything in the stunnel.conf to use SSL v3. Thanks, Vasudha. -------------------------------------------- Vasudha Upadhyaya Convergys Speech Solutions Ph:703-885-5837 vasudha.upadhyaya(a)convergys.com -- "NOTICE: The information contained in this electronic mail transmission is intended by Convergys Corporation for the use of the named individual or entity to which it is directed and may contain information that is privileged or otherwise confidential.

Problem with mysql
by lmarcilly＠aressi.fr 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

Hi all, i try to encrypt mysql connections... I saw this : http://www.stunnel.org/examples/mysql.html but i use stunnel4.x. I configure it on my windows box and it work well! (mysql server is on a linux box, i have configure stunnel as a server on this box) when i try mysql -u user --password=xyz it works but i have to made it work on a linux box. I use the same config file for stunnel, but when i try mysql -u user --password=xyz i have : Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' This socket doesn't exist since there is no MySQL server on the box. I try with --protocol=TCP but it won't work, i have : Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' Do you have an idea? Do you want more details on my config file for stunnel? Thanks in advance and sorry for my english! lm

SSL Session Cache and HTTPS performance
by Daniel Hamburg 19 Jul '05

19 Jul '05

Hello everybody, I hope I didn't muss an existing thread about this question, but I wasn't able to find one. At least none where I found an answer, although my question is quite simple. I would like to test the performance difference between enabled and disabled SSLCaching. I use a configuration file for Stunnel 4.11 (daemon mode) where I tell it to accept incoming connections on port 444 and direct them to a local web-server on port 80. Because STunnel uses Caching by default, I tried to tell STunnel to disable SSL Caching by setting session = 0 in the configuration file, which resulted in an error when starting the program. I looked at the code and found that there is a check so that the session parameter can not be equal to 0. I disabled the check and started stunnel again which seemed to work. But taking a look at the packets exchanged via a browser and the server resulted in the conclusion that caching is still enabled. My simple question is, how I can disable the Caching. Another question is if anyone of you has made any performance tests regarding STunnel in combination with an Apache HTTP server on the same machine.

smtps problem on Fedora Core 4
by Anders Gjerløv 19 Jul '05

19 Jul '05

Hi, I am trying to get the smtps solution described on http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/answers.php?action=viewarticle&arti… working on my server. Basically I want my users on Windows XP boxes to get their mail from 127.0.0.1:100 and send their mail to 127.0.0.1:25 I have gotten as far as having the users able to get mails. That is I have stunnel on a windows box, with a configuration file like this: client = yes debug = debug cert = pemfile.pem [pop3s] accept = localhost:110 connect = my.domain.com:995 [smtps] accept = localhost:25 connect = my.domain.com:465 And a telnet to port 110 on the lookback interface gives me access to the pop server. Så I am guessing that the certificates etc. are working correctly. As for the smtps I am using xinetd, and have tried with various configurations. Here is one of the one's that didn't work: service smtps { disable = no socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/stunnel server_args = -v3 -rlocalhost:25 log_on_success += HOST DURATION log_on_failure += HOST ATTEMPT } Any ideas as to how to setup my xinetd file (or is there a better solution?) # stunnel -version stunnel 4.08 on i386-redhat-linux-gnu PTHREAD+POLL+IPv4+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.7f 22 Mar 2005 Global options cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH debug = 5 key = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes session = 300 seconds verify = none Service-level options TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds Kind regards, Anders

Stunnel on openwrt
by Markus Mauch 15 Jul '05

15 Jul '05

Hello, I'm using stunnel on a asus router with a openwrt like linux on it. The Idea is to secure traffic from and to a thttpd web server which is running on that box as well. Problem is that stunnel only seems to be able to handle one connection at a time. Whenever it has to cope with more than one it crashes. Unfortunatelly this happens all the time because usually a web browser opens several tcp connections in order to speed things up. So whenever I browse to a web page on the router through stunnel I get only the text. The rest (e.g. the images) which is loaded via different tcp connections does not appear and stunnel won't respond to any further requests until it is restarted. My explanation to this is that the very first request is processed normally but as soon as one other connection causes stunnel to create a second process the whole thing goes to the dogs. ps reveals that there are always two instances of stunnel running after such an experiment, both hanging, of course. So my question is what could I do to keep stunnel from creating new processes when a client tries to communicate over more than one tcp connection or - better - what chould I do in the first place to prevent stunnel from hanging in such a case? Any help would be very apreciated...

Mike, GREAT! I did see a patch out on the web that seems to add this feature. Any chance that patch will be included in MAIN? I don't want to have to patch stunnel on multiple OS especially when you are going to implement the feature yourself. What can I do to "encourage" you to add that support sooner than later?

HTTPS Proxy support?
by Sean E. Covel 14 Jul '05

14 Jul '05

I am trying to use stunnel to tunnel VNC through a firewall using port 443. When I test on 2 machines on the LAN everything works fine. Nice tool! When I try to connect through the firewall I suspect the HTTPS Proxy is getting in the way. It requires authentication. Does stunnel support HTTPS Proxies with authentication? Could it? Thanks, Sean

Q: controlled access to service?
by Nardmann, Heiko 14 Jul '05

14 Jul '05

Hi, I want to control access to a through stunnel reachable service. Only those clients shall be allowed to use the service which provide a known certificate. I have found the option "CApath"; can this directory be used to collect all client certificates? Or is it absolutely necessary to have CA certs there? Another thing in this environment: I do not know or own every CA certificate used by the clients - I only get the client certificates itself. So I want to do only a one-level client cert verification. Which verify level do I need for this? 2 or 3? What about removing certificates from the CApath directory? Do I have to restart stunnel to make this change be effective? Another thing: since the client certificates are not revoked by us I am not able to use CRLs for controlling access to our service. -- Heiko Nardmann (Dipl.-Ing.

Re: [stunnel-users] Certificate renaming
by Paul Jones 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

>"The easiest option is to use CAfile instead of CApath." So does the CA (Certificate Authority) certificate still go in the CAfile? That would mean the CAfile contains the CA certificate and all client certificates (on the server side), right?

debugging stunnel
by edonald1＠rochester.rr.com 12 Jul '05

12 Jul '05

Been trying to debug stunnel issues for stunnel-4.09 on Solaris 2.8. When in trouble I resort to reading documentation. It is now that I notice these two small lines in the begining of the document called INSTALL: 1. If your machine supports POSIX threads make sure your SSL library is compiled with -DTHREADS. I did not do this .... ( verify openssl is compiled with -DTHREADS). WHat is the result of not compiling openssl with THREADS? Also what version of openssl is recommended. I am using OpenSSL 0.9.6m . Thanks in advance, Liz

stunnel 4.11 relaesed
by Michal Trojnara 12 Jul '05

12 Jul '05

Dear Users, Here is the ChangeLog entry: Version 4.11, 2005.07.09, urgency: MEDIUM: * New features - New ./configure option --with-threads to select thread model. - ./configure option --with-tcp-wrappers renamed to --disable-libwrap. I hope the meaning of the option is much more clear, now. * Bugfixes - Workaround for non-standard makecontext() uc_stack.ss_sp parameter semantics on Sparc/Solaris 9 and earlier. - scan_waiting_queue() no longer drops contexts. - Inetd mode coredumps with UCONTEXT fixed. - Cleanup context is no longer used. - Releasing memory of the current context is delayed. - Win32 headers reordered for Visual Studio 7. - Some Solaris compilation warnings fixed. - Rejected inetd mode without 'connect' or 'exec'. * Release notes - UCONTEXT threading seems stable, now. Upgrade is recommended. Home page, downloads: http://stunnel.mirt.net/ sha1sum for stunnel-4.11.tar.gz file: cf57169d591fbe3371a29e432d840e7f66103a9f Best regards, Mike

Stunnel-4.10 and Stunnel-4.11 in HPUX-11.23 IPF gives coredump
by Punitha 12 Jul '05

12 Jul '05

Hello All, I'm using HP-UX11.23 IPF. I have built Stunnel-4.11 with OpenSSL - 0.9.7e. I could build it successfully but I'm failed in connecting with telnet. After a while connecting to the telnet the client gets coredump and kills the process. So the connection is no more established. Note: I had the same problem in Stunnel-4.10 also but not before that. I could very well compile and use Stunnel-4.09. My configuration file for client is: cert = /opt/iexpress/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem chroot = /opt/iexpress/stunnel/var/stunnel pid = setuid = root setgid = root CAfile = /opt/iexpress/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem debug = 7 client = yes foreground = yes verify = 3 [test1] accept = 8080 connect = 9090 For server: cert = /opt/iexpress/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem chroot = /opt/iexpress/stunnel/var/stunnel pid = setuid = root setgid = root CAfile = /opt/iexpress/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem debug = 6 client = no foreground = yes verify = 1 [test1] accept = 9090 connect = 23 The client log shows as follows: # ../../sbin/stunnel stunnel-client.conf 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG5[8909:1]: stunnel 4.11 on ia64-hp-hpux11.23 UCONTEXT+POLL+IPv4+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: Snagged 64 random bytes from /dev/random 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG6[8909:1]: PRNG seeded successfully 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: Certificate: /home/punitha/stunnel1/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: Key file: /home/punitha/stunnel1/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: Loaded verify certificates from /home/punitha/stunnel1/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG6[8909:1]: file ulimit = 2048 (can be changed with 'ulimit -n') 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG6[8909:1]: poll() used - no FD_SETSIZE limit for file descriptors 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG5[8909:1]: 1000 clients allowed 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: FD 3 in non-blocking mode 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: FD 4 in non-blocking mode 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: FD 5 in non-blocking mode 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: test1 bound to 0.0.0.0:8080 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: No pid file being created 2005.07.10 23:40:08 LOG7[8909:1]: test1 accepted FD=8 from 127.0.0.1:49700 2005.07.10 23:40:08 LOG7[8909:1]: Creating a new context 2005.07.10 23:40:08 LOG7[8909:1]: Context 2 created 2005.07.10 23:40:08 LOG7[8909:2]: Context swap: 1 -> 2 Memory fault(coredump) # It will be helpful if anyone of you guide me in this.

Re: [stunnel-users] Poll/Descriptor Problem

Hi I get the same/similar error messages using Stunnel 4.10 (client) on Solaris 9 (sparc). I also see some very large integer numbers (e.g. FD=2615261238) in the log which art file descriptors. Perhaps there is an issue with big/little endedness in the later Stunnel releases. I went back to using Stunnel 4.07 and the problems went away.

I am running Stunnel 4.09 on Mac OS X 10.4 to provide HTTPS service on the standard ports (accept on 443, connect to 80). All connections are either truncated or dropped entirely, with the following messages written to the log: ------------------------------------------ https connected from ... INTERNAL ERROR:s_poll_wait returned 1, but no descriptor is ready Connection reset: XXXXXX bytes sent to SSL, XXX bytes sent to socket ------------------------------------------ I've tried 4.10, but the result is exactly the same. Does anybody have any thoughts on what might be going on? Thanks, John

Re: [stunnel-users] Certificate renaming
by Paul Jones 07 Jul '05

07 Jul '05

>From the discussion here, I got the impression that it is still possible for Stunnel to run correctly and successful connections to be made if the certificate files are NOT renamed using the xxxxx.0 format, where xxxxx is the hash value of the certificate. So I simply placed the .crt files for all clients on the server (under the directory specified in the CApath field in the CONF file). Now, I've tried, tried, and tried, but it still doesn't work. I get a "bad certificate" error when attempting to connect from the client. Am I missing something? Note: I am running Stunnel on Win2K. Cheers.

If I set "client = no" in stunnels config file I get the following from: openssl s_client -connect 172.20.12.59:995 CONNECTED(00000003) depth=0 /C=US/ST=Nevada/L=Las Vegas/O=Bechtel/OU=RSL/CN=test1 verify error:num=18:self signed certificate verify return:1 depth=0 /C=US/ST=Nevada/L=Las Vegas/O=Bechtel/OU=RSL/CN=test1 verify return:1 30463:error:140790E5:SSL routines:SSL23_WRITE:ssl handshake failure:s23_lib.c:226: Is a "self signed" Cert OK? I didn't sign anything though. Compiling stunnel created a cert. Installing openssl I think created a cert. Do these need to match somehow? If so how do you do that? I think I'm lost here...
