MATCH CERT AGAINST LDAP
by Alejandro Fernandez 26 Jan '13

26 Jan '13

Hi there! I would like to know if it's possible with stunnel, as is, to match a client certificate against a certstore in a directory service, instead of a file, so to be able to revoke from a service such as Fedora 389 some access. Please, understand that the idea is not to access the LDAP itself, but to access some service within a network and grant such access based on a directory service query. Thanks everyone, Alejandro

In our application, for each email account the username/password credentials would vary. So, in stunnel config file do we need to specify the credentials with parameters? If so, how do we need to specify the credentials for all the accounts? As far as I understood, stunnel has nothing to do with the POP3 authentication. It merely provides with an (encrypted) transport layer for the (plain text) POP3 session. I.e., you have to specify the credentials in your application.

stunnel for Solaris 10
by shanmuganathan sedukumar 24 Jan '13

24 Jan '13

Hi All, I'm new and about to start with stunnel. We are facing certain issues with our application server (operating on Solaris 10), as it is unable to establish SSL connection with an email exchange server (P0P3). So, we have planned to use stunnel for establishing SSL connection. May I get some guidelines on installation and configuration part, if anything available? Regards,Shanmuganathan

Hi. I installed Stunnel to secure the traffic to my HFS web-server at home. Everything works fine except that if I am trying to connect through a firewall (e.g. from work) Chrome shows an error message: Error 111 (net::ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED): Unknown error.

Looking to confirm that stunnel is encrypting traffic via wireshark
by David Trebacz 31 Dec '12

31 Dec '12

I'm using stunnel to encrypt newsgroup traffic. Essentially use stunnel to encrypt port 119 traffic (from the Pan Newsreader) then securely communicate over 563 with astraweb secure servers. The whole set-up is described in detail in this blog post: http://blog.trebacz.com/2012/03/installing-stunnel-to-enable-ssl.html The system has been "working" for several months, but someone on the blog asked how to confirm it. I checked my logs and each time I'm finished using Pan/Stunnel to download anything I get several entries in my syslog like: stunnel: LOG5[2111:140426048358144]: Connection closed: 3259 byte(s) sent to SSL, 16756212 byte(s) sent to socket I started to wonder does this mean some of the traffic was encrypted, but most wasn't? I fired up wireshark filtered the results to show port 563 traffic ( filter set to tcp.port == 563) as was suggested in another post ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5400958&postcount=9). Wireshark does show the traffic is correctly flow through port 563 with astrawebs newsservers when requesting data, but how do I know the traffic is encrypted? I inspected likely packets to contain encrypted data and I don't see anything in plain text (but they're zlib compressed also).

Embedded linux run time problem (starting version 4.53), and work around
by Bao, Robert 28 Dec '12

28 Dec '12

To those running stunnel on Embedded Linux ARMv4 platform, You may have noticed that stunnel (starting from version 4.53 to the latest) will crash immediately even if you run as "stunnel -version". The work around is to remove "-pie" and "-fPIE" from CFLAG in Makefile. Michal, You may fix this problem permanently in config file when you roll out the official 5.00 version. Thanks, and happy holidays. Robert Bao Software House Tyco International
