clean installation on Windows
by John 29 Jun '12

29 Jun '12

Hello. I would like to install stunnel on 64-bit Win7, and I would like to know whether it is possible to do so by just unzipping the downloaded files into one folder and then clicking on the main executable, that is, to avoid making registry entries, etc. I would like to have a minimal impact to whatever extent is possible. Can it be done in this way, or does it need the whole shebang installer procedure to be run?

Stunnel, Pan and the SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol
by mike 28 Jun '12

28 Jun '12

Hello All, Running Debian 6.0, stunnel4 and Pan 0.133 I have set up Pan and installed stunnel so that I can use ssl with nntp. Installing Pan and stunnel was easy. I've edited Pan to use localhost:119 and edited my config file in stunnel to point to my nntp server. I have allowed nntp in my hosts.allow for ALL:ALL. The problem I am running into is that Pan does not connect. I get the following error: Error reading from localhost. Connection reset by peer Checking with the following openssl command produced this error: root@triglav:/etc/stunnel# openssl s_client -ssl3 -connect localhost:119 CONNECTED(00000003) write:errno=104 Looking at the logs for stunnel I see many repetitions of this message: 2012.06.25 14:18:26 LOG7[16355:3074153328]: nntp started 2012.06.25 14:18:26 LOG7[16355:3074153328]: FD 13 in non-blocking mode 2012.06.25 14:18:26 LOG7[16355:3074153328]: TCP_NODELAY option set on local socket 2012.06.25 14:18:26 LOG7[16355:3074153328]: Waiting for a libwrap process 2012.06.25 14:18:26 LOG7[16355:3074153328]: Acquired libwrap process #0 2012.06.25 14:18:26 LOG7[16355:3074153328]: Releasing libwrap process #0 2012.06.25 14:18:26 LOG7[16355:3074153328]: Released libwrap process #0 2012.06.25 14:18:26 LOG7[16355:3074153328]: nntp permitted by libwrap from 127.0.0.1:59451 2012.06.25 14:18:26 LOG5[16355:3074153328]: nntp accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:59451 2012.06.25 14:18:26 LOG7[16355:3074153328]: FD 14 in non-blocking mode 2012.06.25 14:18:26 LOG6[16355:3074153328]: connect_blocking: connecting 209.197.15.238:119 2012.06.25 14:18:26 LOG7[16355:3074153328]: connect_blocking: s_poll_wait 209.197.15.238:119: waiting 10 seconds 2012.06.25 14:18:26 LOG5[16355:3074153328]: connect_blocking: connected 209.197.15.238:119 2012.06.25 14:18:26 LOG5[16355:3074153328]: nntp connected remote server from 192.168.2.56:51455 2012.06.25 14:18:26 LOG7[16355:3074153328]: Remote FD=14 initialized 2012.06.25 14:18:26 LOG7[16355:3074153328]: TCP_NODELAY option set on remote socket 2012.06.25 14:18:26 LOG7[16355:3074153328]: SSL state (connect): before/connect initialization 2012.06.25 14:18:26 LOG7[16355:3074153328]: SSL state (connect): SSLv2/v3 write client hello A 2012.06.25 14:18:26 LOG3[16355:3074153328]: SSL_connect: 140770FC: error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol 2012.06.25 14:18:26 LOG5[16355:3074153328]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket 2012.06.25 14:18:26 LOG7[16355:3074153328]: nntp finished (0 left) Anyone know what is missing?

Interoperability problems with .net client software
by ProPharma Systems AG - Gregor Bürgisser 28 Jun '12

28 Jun '12

Hi all, I'm using stunnel 4.53 under Linux to secure a service. There are two different clients connecting to this service: My own client, also Linux based and using libcurl and another (third party!) client being developed using Microsoft .net stuff. Of course with my own client all works well. But we are not able to get the Microsoft client running. stunnel keeps on telling: SSL_accept: 140890C7: error:140890C7:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE:peer did not return a certificate We have tried diffierent things... I will outline them here if you think it is helpful (in short: tried using certificates generated on the Microsoft side, then tried using certificates created on the Linux side). If "verify" ist set to 0 or 1 it works (of course) but with a higher value the above message is logged. Are there any known pitfalls, problems or whatsoever when using stunnel with a .net client? Any advice would be appreciated! Regards, Gregor

Accept on same port to ethernet aliases
by John Morrison 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

Hi, Is it possible to configure stunnel to use the same port on different IP addresses that are Ethernet aliases? I have successfully set up a configuration file accepting SSL connections. Firstly I did this on all IP addresses by using the following configuration lines: accept = 443 connect = 80 This worked correctly. I then attempted to setup a second configuration file on an aliased Ethernet address. The configuration file settings are: test1.conf accept = 10.168.1.132:443 connect = 10.168.1.132:80 test2.conf accept = 10.168.1.133:443 connect = 10.168.1.133:80 Stunnel is able to start the first configuration file, but not the second. The error message I can see when I run the second configuration file in the foreground is: accept socket: FD=11 allocated (non-blocking mode) Option SO_REUSEADDR set on accept socket Error binding https to 10.168.1.133:443 bind: Address already in use (98) and if I telnet to 10.168.1.133 on port 443 the connection is accepted. I have attempted to use the binding socket options in the configuration files as described in the manual: socket = a:SO_BINDTODEVICE=eth0:0 and socket = a:SO_BINDTODEVICE=eth0:1 However in this case stunnel will not start either configuration file. The error message I receive is: Option SO_REUSEADDR set on accept socket SO_BINDTODEVICE: No such device (19) Is there a different way to configure stunnel to allow this to work? My ipconfig settings are below. I am running the ubuntu 10.04 version of stunnel. The version output is: stunnel 4.35 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 1.0.0e 6 Sep 2011 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP Thanks, John eth0:0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 3c:4a:92:6d:0b:08 inet addr:10.168.1.132 Bcast:10.168.1.132 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:16 Memory:f4000000-f4012800 eth0:1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 3c:4a:92:6d:0b:08 inet addr:10.168.1.133 Bcast:10.168.1.133 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Interrupt:16 Memory:f4000000-f4012800

Confused about stunnel + haproxy
by Robin Lee Powell 27 Jun '12

27 Jun '12

I've set up stunnel + haproxy using the "protocol = proxy" method, but stunnel doesn't seem to pass to haproxy any information about the source IP of the original connection, which I thought was the point of using this method? Can someone tell me what I'm missng? I just want to have haproxy with SSL support without losing the client IP information completely. -Robin -- http://singinst.org/ : Our last, best hope for a fantastic future. .i ko na cpedu lo nu stidi vau loi jbopre .i danfu lu na go'i li'u .e lu go'i li'u .i ji'a go'i lu na'e go'i li'u .e lu go'i na'i li'u .e lu no'e go'i li'u .e lu to'e go'i li'u .e lu lo mamta be do cu sofybakni li'u

socket status
by Dee Ayy 20 Jun '12

20 Jun '12

My socket in Eiffel will report that it is connected, but when it tries to write to the socket, it will fail and report Connection reset by peer I/O error The syslog shows 1) ... accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:.. 2) connect_blocking: getsockopt A_REMOTE_IP:A_REMOTE_PORT: Connection refused (111) 3) Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket I believe that my socket is connecting locally fine 127.0.0.1:.. in step 1, and then the remote connection via stunnel is failing in step 2, but I have tried to write to the socket in between steps 1 and 2. Is this proper behavior? How can I know the status of the remote connection? Wait a while and then test? Is the socket state really just the state of the local stunnel connection? Should stunnel report a different state (as seen by my socket) until it determines the remote socket state?

I should note that I have been running stunnel 4.45 on Windows 7 since Oct-2011 with no problems whatsoever. It has been running non-stop on Windows 7 to this date with no problems. I have not upgraded to the latest because I have not been able to have time to test the FIPS changes with my configuration yet. Brian
