Identification Propagation patch using stunnel client certificates
by Christophe Nanteuil 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hello, NB : this patch is provided as alpha version : it handles only 1 request at a time for each administrative and ident servers. Why to use this patch ? This patch can be useful when : - you provide access to Internet via your stunnel server and when your legislation enforces you to keep logs of who connected where and when. In this case, you will have Squid logs filled with identification of stunnel clients in a very simple way : nothing to ask to the client as it uses automatically its certificate to fill in the identity fields. - you want to implement several profile access for your clients accessing your web proxy/server : as the proxy will ask ident request to stunnel, you can create filter groups to allow / denied access (with redirection to a page that you can customize) depending on stunnel answer : see filtergroups option of DansGuardian or acl options in squid. Patch to version : 4.26 Type : new feature Description : Identification Propagation using stunnel client certificates The patch proposes to extend the identification propagation provided by the directive 'EXEC=' to directive 'CONNECT=' when using client certificates. With EXEC directive, Subject name and Issuer Name of clients are put in environment variables, which allows the program to determine identity of the stunnel client. This patch adds an ident server functionality to stunnel, compliant with RFC 1413, to allow propagation of identification to remote hosts specified by the service directive 'CONNECT='. Additionnaly, this patch provides an admnistrative server "bound" to the Ident server : on the administrative socket (default port 127.0.0.1:790), you can request number of users currently connected and list them. How to use this patch ? You just have to add a 'identServer=yes' directive to services that you want to propagate identification. For example, you can use this patch when connecting to a DansGuardian web proxy (installed on proxy.example.com) with the option authplugin = '/etc/dansguardian/ authplugins/ident.conf' enabled in the configuration file (or when connecting to a Squid web proxy compiled with --enable-ident-lookups option), and the following stunnel configuration file (located in /etc/ssl/stunnel/stunnel-ident.conf) : ... [WEB] accept=8080 connect=proxy.example.com:8080 identServer=yes ... Stunnel will create a listening socket on 0.0.0.0:113 and answer requests initiated by DansGuardian. -- Christophe Nanteuil

Feature request: set environment variable for inetd-type program
by Michael Renner 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

Moin, I am not a programmer, I am a writer and user, so I have to ask kindly for a additional stunnel feature I need the ability to push some information from the stunnel client side to the server side. To be more concrete: a self written script that is called by stunnels 'exec' statement need some settings, e.g. username and password. My idea is to configure this in the client side stunnel.conf and pass this as a environment variable to this script. There is no chance to pack these stings in a client certificate, because everybody who is able to handle snoop/tcpdump will be able to read this. I imagine a configuration like this: client stunnel.conf [foo] accept = 127.0.0.1:1234 connect = 192.0.20.0:443 env = "SUSER=renner" env = "SPASS=geheim" server stunnel.conf [foo] accept = 192.0.20.0:443 exec = /opt/foo/script.sh env = yes My question to the developers: do you think this is a helpful feature, also for others?

Use stunnel through firewall for home Web server?
by Bill Eldridge 25 Jan '09

25 Jan '09

I was interested in whether there's a simple way to have stunnel redirect traffic from a public Web browser/port to my home Web browser behind my DSL firewall (no ports opened/forwarded for incoming connections on the router, only outgoing-initiated) I scanned old posts but didn't find anything that quite fit - references are usually for people who want to get out from behind a firewall, not publish sites publicly from behind (i.e. externally initiated clicks)

Compilation problem
by fredzy padzy 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

Hi everyone I try to compile stunnel, but it fails. Actually, it tells me about a parse error inside signal.h, and i think it's a falsePositive. The configure works great and nothing look strange inside the configure.log. I also tried to googled those errors, but didn't find any clues. My server is a sunOS 10 and the src were taken from http://www.stunnel.org/download/stunnel/src/stunnel-4.26.tar.gz My version of openssl : OpenSSL 0.9.7.d Here are the errors, after the make command : /stunnel-4.26 root# make Making all in src make[1]: Entering directory `/root/syslogNG/stunnel-4.26/src' if gcc -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"stunnel\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"stunnel\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"4.26\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"stunnel\ 4.26\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"stunnel\" -DVERSION=\"4.26\" -DHOST=\"i386-pc-solaris2.10\" -DCPU_I386=1 -DVENDOR_PC=1 -DOS_SOLARIS2_10=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_MEMORY_H=1 -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_STDINT_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_DLFCN_H=1 -DSIZEOF_UNSIGNED_CHAR=1 -DSIZEOF_UNSIGNED_SHORT=2 -DSIZEOF_UNSIGNED_INT=4 -DSIZEOF_UNSIGNED_LONG=4 -DHAVE_DEV_PTMX=1 -DRANDOM_FILE=\"/dev/urandom\" -DHAVE_UCONTEXT_H=1 -DHAVE_PTHREAD_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_SELECT_H=1 -DHAVE_POLL_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_POLL_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_IOCTL_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_FILIO_H=1 -DHAVE_STROPTS_H=1 -DHAVE_GRP_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_SOCKET_H=1 -DHAVE_LIBSOCKET=1 -DHAVE_LIBDL=1 -DHAVE_LIBZ=1 -DHAVE_LIBPTHREAD=1 -DUSE_PTHREAD=1 -DHAVE_SNPRINTF=1 -DHAVE_VSNPRINTF=1 -DHAVE_WAITPID=1 -DHAVE_WAIT4=1 -DHAVE_SETSID=1 -DHAVE_SETGROUPS=1 -DHAVE_CHROOT=1 -DHAVE_SYSCONF=1 -DHAVE_GETRLIMIT=1 -DHAVE_PTHREAD_SIGMASK=1 -DHAVE_LOCALTIME_R=1 -DHAVE_GETCONTEXT=1 -DHAVE_POLL=1 -DHAVE_ENDHOSTENT=1 -DHAVE_GETNAMEINFO=1 -DHAVE_GETADDRINFO=1 -DHAVE_OPENSSL=1 -Dssldir=\"/usr/local/ssl\" -DHAVE_OSSL_ENGINE_H=1 -DUSE_IPv6=1 -I. -I. -I/usr/kerberos/include -DLIBDIR='"/usr/local/lib/stunnel"' -DCONFDIR='"/usr/local/etc/stunnel"' -DPIDFILE='"/var/run/stunnel/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid"' -g -O2 -Wall -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wpointer-arith -I/usr/local/ssl/include -MT file.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/file.Tpo" -c -o file.o file.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/file.Tpo" ".deps/file.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/file.Tpo"; exit 1; fi *In file included from /usr/include/sys/signal.h:34,* from /usr/include/signal.h:26, from common.h:250, from file.c:38: /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:259: error: parse error before "ctid_t" /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:292: error: parse error before '}' token /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:294: error: parse error before '}' token /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:390: error: parse error before "ctid_t" /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:392: error: conflicting types for `__proc' /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:261: error: previous declaration of `__proc' /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:398: error: conflicting types for `__fault' /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:267: error: previous declaration of `__fault' /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:404: error: conflicting types for `__file' /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:273: error: previous declaration of `__file' /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:420: error: conflicting types for `__prof' /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:287: error: previous declaration of `__prof' /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:424: error: conflicting types for `__rctl' /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:291: error: previous declaration of `__rctl' /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:426: error: parse error before '}' token /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:428: error: parse error before '}' token /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:432: error: parse error before "k_siginfo_t" /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:437: error: parse error before '}' token In file included from /usr/include/signal.h:26, from common.h:250, from file.c:38: /usr/include/sys/signal.h:85: error: parse error before "siginfo_t" In file included from common.h:250, from file.c:38: /usr/include/signal.h:111: error: parse error before "siginfo_t" /usr/include/signal.h:113: error: parse error before "siginfo_t" In file included from common.h:251, from file.c:38: /usr/include/sys/wait.h:86: error: parse error before "siginfo_t" make[1]: *** [file.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/syslogNG/stunnel-4.26/src' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 Is that normal that i've 2 signal.h files ?

0x09 bytes in stunnel-4.26/src/Makefile.am
by Andrew Schulman 14 Jan '09

14 Jan '09

For some strange reason, there are five hex 09 bytes in stunnel-4.26/src/Makefile.am. This broke my Cygwin build: I remove the Windows-only stuff from this file for Cygwin, and diff captured the 0x09 characters that got removed, but then when I later tried to apply the patch, patch choked on them. It seems that each of these bytes should really be 0x0A. Strange. Andrew.
