Connecting via rtmps to Red5 server
by David Schulberg 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

Hi, I have been led to stunnel as the way to get a Flash application to communicate securely with Red5 server. Red5 doesn't directly support ssl connectivity but using rtmps protocol (rtmp tunnelled via https) clients should be able to connect to Red5 if stunnel handles the encrypted traffic on port 443 and passes unencrypted communications back and forth to the Red5 on a port it expects to receive rtmp communication.. (refer http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashcom/articles/firewalls_proxy04.html) The log file I get when I attempt to talk rtmps is shown below 2007.04.25 18:19:04 LOG7[3932:3384]: New thread created 2007.04.25 18:19:04 LOG7[3932:3664]: https started 2007.04.25 18:19:04 LOG7[3932:3664]: FD 224 in non-blocking mode 2007.04.25 18:19:04 LOG7[3932:3664]: TCP_NODELAY option set on local socket 2007.04.25 18:19:04 LOG5[3932:3664]: https accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:1249 2007.04.25 18:19:04 LOG7[3932:3664]: FD 248 in non-blocking mode 2007.04.25 18:19:04 LOG7[3932:3664]: https connecting 127.0.0.1:1935 2007.04.25 18:19:04 LOG7[3932:3664]: connect_wait: waiting 10 seconds 2007.04.25 18:19:04 LOG7[3932:3664]: connect_wait: connected 2007.04.25 18:19:04 LOG5[3932:3664]: https connected remote server from 127.0.0.1:1250 2007.04.25 18:19:04 LOG7[3932:3664]: Remote FD=248 initialized 2007.04.25 18:19:04 LOG7[3932:3664]: TCP_NODELAY option set on remote socket 2007.04.25 18:19:04 LOG7[3932:3664]: SSL state (connect): before/connect initialization 2007.04.25 18:19:04 LOG7[3932:3664]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 write client hello A 2007.04.25 18:24:04 LOG6[3932:3664]: init_ssl: s_poll_wait timeout 2007.04.25 18:24:04 LOG5[3932:3664]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket 2007.04.25 18:24:04 LOG7[3932:3664]: https finished (0 left) The stunnel.conf file has the following settings that pertain specifically to this situation client = yes [https] accept = 443 connect = 1935 What I seem to see (according to the logfile) is that an ssl connection is successfully established but no subsequent communication takes place after the connection has been made. At this point my Flash application doesn't send any messages via the ssl connection which seems to implicate my client as being the source of my problem. I would appreciate any advice on how I can best investigate this whole situation to resolve the issue. Regards, David Schulberg email: davids(a)evertech.com.au

Using Client Authentication
by Ravi Gowda 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

Hi All, I am trying to have a setup where stunnel acts as a client to a server which requires client-Authentication. This is the snapshot of my stunnel.conf # Sample stunnel configuration file # Copyright by Michal Trojnara 2002 setuid = nobody setgid = nobody output = /etc/stunnel/out cert = /etc/stunnel/rtca-client.pem key = /etc/stunnel/rtca-client.ky # Authentication stuff verify = 2 # don't forget about c_rehash CApath # it is located inside chroot jail: #CApath = /certs # or simply use CAfile instead: CAfile = /etc/stunnel/rtca.pem ciphers = DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-DSS-AES256-SHA:AES256-SHA:EDH-RSA-DES-CBC3-SHA:EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA:DES-CBC3-SHA:DES-CBC3-MD5:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-DSS-AES128-SHA:AES128-SHA:IDEA-CBC-SHA:IDEA-CBC-MD5:RC2-CBC-MD5:DHE-DSS-RC4-SHA:RC4-SHA:RC4-MD5:RC4-MD5:RC4-64-MD5:EXP1024-DHE-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA:EXP1024-DES-CBC-SHA:EXP1024-RC2-CBC-MD5:EDH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA:EDH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA:DES-CBC-SHA:DES-CBC-MD5:EXP1024-DHE-DSS-RC4-SHA:EXP1024-RC4-SHA:EXP1024-RC4-MD5:EXP-EDH-RSA-DES-CBC-SHA:EXP-EDH-DSS-DES-CBC-SHA:EXP-DES-CBC-SHA:EXP-RC2-CBC-MD5:EXP-RC2-CBC-MD5:EXP-RC4-MD5:EXP-RC4-MD5 # Some debugging stuff debug = 7 output = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.log # Use it for client mode client = yes when I try to connect to the server, I am seeing that Stunnel is sending an empty certificate..which is making my server to reject connections. Can someone please help me out?? Thanks in Advance Ravi Gowda

Simply concatenate the certificates (in PEM format) in the file specified by "cert = ..." and supply the key of your server certificate either in the same file or in the file specified by "key = ...".

stunnel-4.20 crash on AIX
by Peter O'Gorman 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

Hi, We built stunnel-4.20 on solaris, hpux, aix, tru64. irix and various linux hosts, and it works fine everywhere except hpux10.20 and aix. stunnel crashes with similar backtraces on AIX-4.3,5.1,5.2 and 5.3, not on the first client connect (using stunnel client=yes, connecting to s secure daytime server on another host, because everyone needs a secure daytime server :-p) but on the second connection. We have not tried server side yet, I assume results are similar. The backtrace looks like this: GDB: Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault. #0 0xd0126b1c in _sigsetmask () from /usr/lib/libpthreads.a(shr_xpg5.o) (gdb) bt #0 0xd0126b1c in _sigsetmask () from /usr/lib/libpthreads.a(shr_xpg5.o) #1 0xd0127e5c in _p_sigaction () from /usr/lib/libpthreads.a(shr_xpg5.o) #2 0xd0315544 in sigaction () from /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o) #3 0xd038beac in signal () from /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o) #4 0x10006200 in sigchld_handler (sig=0) at network.c:350 #5 0x00004378 in ??

Line 350 of network.c says: signal(SIGCHLD, sigchld_handler); And that is in the signal handler, it seems like a normal thing to do, and I have no idea why, on AIX, it crashes. putting an #ifndef _AIX #endif around the signal() call "fixes" the crash, alternatively setting SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN on AIX "fixes" it, but I don't think that either solution is correct. I don't believe the signal handler will get called again as we do not reset the signal. (tests that assumtion and finds answer to riddle) Okay, problem identified. The signal_handler is being called repeatedly, causing an infinite loop that can only end in a crash. According to the AIX signal man page: The signal in libc.a does not set the SA_RESTART flag. It sets the signal mask to the signal whose action is being specified, and sets flags to SA_OLDSTYLE. The Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) version of signal sets the SA_RESTART flag and preserves the current settings of the signal mask and flags. The BSD version can be used by compiling with the Berkeley Compatibility Library (libbsd.a). And indeed, no patches are required if I add -lbsd. Another solution would probably be to use sigaction if it is available. Meanwhile, please find attached a patch to add -lbsd on aix. Thanks for bearing with me while I figured this out :-) Peter

Setting up chain certificates on Stunnel.
by Satyajit Das 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

Hi , I am using stunnel as a wrapper to provide SSL functionalities for my server. Right now I am having problems setting up chained certificates on stunnel. My Problem -> My server certificate > signed by intermediate CA > signed by Verisign CA I have the Verisign certificate on my clients trusted root CAs, however I am not able to get the SSL communication through. I believe this is because stunnel should send all the three certificates for authentication and I couldnt configure stunnel to send across all the three certificates. Can anybody please help install all these certificates on stunnel. Thanks in advance, Satyajit

forcing checking of local certificates every time
by san san 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

Hi, I am using stunnel with verify option with value 3. In value 3 the authentication is carried out using the local trusted certificates. I think stunnel does not check the local trusted certificates directory each and every time. If the connection has already been established then it does not check local trusted certificates , connection can be established using the certificates in cache. Is it possible to force to check the local trusted certificates every time. Regards

stunnel work with NAT
by atsushi kataoka 11 Apr '07

11 Apr '07

I have one question , does stunnel work with NAT ? I will explain the architecture There are some 10.0.0.XXXX machines and some are 192.0.0.XXXX machines. They are connected to each other via Router which does NAT. My VNC servers are installed on 10.0.0.XXXX and vnc clients on 192.0.0.XXXX I am not able to do the vnc from client to server. Now I want to encrypt the VNC traffic , can stunnel work with NAT? A Kataoka
