Hi, For what it's worth: >I use Freebsd and made an update from stunnel 4.8 to stunnel 4.10 from >the ports today. Now I noticed that stunnel stops after a while. > > I experienced the same, only my configuration ran in server- instead of client-mode. The only thing that I did while building the port was using -DWITH_IPV6, but I assume that shouldn't be a problem. >And these are the last lines of the log:005.05.15 10:34:00 > > I used debug = 5, and I didn't see anything usefull in the logs. I'm glad someone has the same problem and has better logging then I have ;-) The last log line was the incoming session, that's it. >Everything went fine with 4.8, now stunnel is not running anymore after >a short period of time (few minutes). > > I'm back to the 4.7 we had previously. We're using this in production, so I couldn't really experiment much with the 4.10. Regards, Paul

CN field of server cert
by spambox＠poczta.onet.pl 16 May '05

16 May '05

Hi stunnel-users, There is example configuration:  I don't know how to enforce stunnel to verify CN field from server provided certificate. Even if i change "connect" field to next one stunnel will not complain. So, am I wrong that when someone hijack (mitm) this connection and provide any server cert signed by ThawteServerCA then I loose? Please add this verification to stunnel when verify is set to 2 or better as an separate option "verify_cn?" which could be used in service-level context. Usting this option with that described below I can drop 'verify' and 'CAfile' at all and feel much better. :) There is another verification method that could be added - not related to verify option. In most cases I know public cert of remote server. So I also know sha1/md5 fingerprint of that cert. Security could improve v.much by just adding these lines to my example configuration: fingerprint_md5=F5:BD:C3:C8:D5:4B:03:EA:57:BB:81:72:46:6B:26:54 fingerprint_sha1=CE:3A:0D:3E:DA:4B:77:A3:53:C0:9E:A8:65:B7:F8:C2:09:71:43:41 Another good service-level option? There are some other good options that could be ported from openssl/s_client: "-ssl2, -ssl3, -tls1, -no_ssl2, -no_ssl3, -no_tls1" Regards.

Problems with stunnel 4.10 compilation
by Oleg Ivanov 14 May '05

14 May '05

Hello. I've compiled stunnel 4.10 without any problems on my Gentoo workstation and RedHat server. But now I need to install it into my old legacy Mandrake 8.2 server and here I've got into troubles. I've updated zlib and openssl (configuring it with "zlib" option) to their latest versions, then tried to make stunnel and got following errors: --- /usr/lib/libcrypto.a(c_zlib.o): In function `zlib_compress_block': c_zlib.o(.text+0x48): undefined reference to `compress' /usr/lib/libcrypto.a(c_zlib.o): In function `zz_uncompress': c_zlib.o(.text+0x145): undefined reference to `inflateInit_' c_zlib.o(.text+0x159): undefined reference to `inflate' c_zlib.o(.text+0x16c): undefined reference to `inflateEnd' c_zlib.o(.text+0x18b): undefined reference to `inflateEnd' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [stunnel] Error 1 make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 --- It seems like problems with zlib so I've double-checked it - but zlib 1.2.2 is really installed. If I recompile openssl without "zlib" option then I can make stunnel but it can't initialize zlib compression algorithm that I really need. And if I compile openssl with zlib - stunnel fails on make with errors. Can anyone help with it please?

Connection details patch for 4.10
by Oleg Ivanov 14 May '05

14 May '05

Hello. I've modified the old "conndetails_peter" patch by Peter D. Gray to let it work with stunnel 4.10. I've also added to it information about compression (available compression methods and negotiated method). Patch creates a file "conn.LOCAL_HOST:LOCAL_PORT" in a configurable temp directory (config file: "infodir" option). The file is deleted when the client disconnects. Full description of original can be found at: http://www.stunnel.org/patches/desc/conndetails_peter.html Hope it will be useful for someone.

syslog on Solaris2.9
by Geoff LeBoldus 13 May '05

I can't seem to get stunnel-4.10 to log properly to syslog. Stunnel logs the startup, but doesn't log any individual tunnel information. If I specify its own file and debug = 7, it logs everything as expected. I've tried a number of different configuration combinations without success. Any thoughts?

zlib compression
by Oleg Ivanov 09 May '05

09 May '05

Hello. I have installed stunnel 4.09 both as client (on my computer) and as server (on server). Both has zlib compression enabled and I can see that zlib initializes properly in the logs (it says "Compression enabled using zlib method"). But when I send any data over that tunnel I can't see any signs of compression - amount of traffic is almost the same as over plain connection. Am I doing something wrong? Or I'm misunderstanding the purpose of this compression ability? And if the traffic indeed must be reduced - why I can't see that and how can I make it work properly? Thank you for your answers. Best Regards, Oleg Ivanov. -- Oleg Ivanov mailto: saruman(a)unigsm.com

connect ip = accept ip on multihomed server ?
by Dennis Spreen 09 May '05

09 May '05

hi all, with a configuration (stunnel4.10) like this [conc1] accept = 100 connect = 99 stunnel accepts all requests on all ips on port 100 but connects with the localhost to port 99. is it possible to configure stunnel that if it accepts a connection on 1.2.3.4:100 it connects to 1.2.3.4:99 ? I know it is possible to use accept = 1.2.3.4:100 connect = 1.2.3.4:99 .... accept = 1.2.3.250:100 connect = 1.2.3.250:99 but i'm on a c-class and that would require about 250 entries in the config file. Is there a better way to do this? regards dennis

Problems in Stunnel4.10
by vasudha.upadhyaya＠convergys.com 06 May '05

06 May '05

Hi, We have been using stunnel 4.05 and recently downloded the stunnel 4.10 and deployed in our environmrnt. All the traffice is going via the Load Balancer Cisco CSS with SSL Module to the unix server(with stunnel4.10 on them). We also 4.10 deployed on the Windows2000 as a client. The CSS sends keep Alives to check the health of the servers(whether they are up or not).And I guess due to this the stunnel on unix servers crashes immediately and there is a access violation error. Attached is the truss output for one of the unix servers.Stunnel4.10 was compiled using OpenSSL0.97d and OpenSSL0.97g, and still we get the same problem.Attached is the stunnel.conf also.[attachment "stunnel.conf" deleted by Vasudha Upadhyaya/CCMG/CVG] (See attached file: truss.out) (See attached file: stunnel.conf) 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.

Newbie windows user needs help patching/compiling with mingw
by Geoff Elmer 04 May '05

04 May '05

Can anyone point me to some documentation on how to use mingw to patch and make stunnel? Specifically, I want to apply connect-proxy_dunbar.patch to v4.05 source and compile it. As I am not really a coder (yet) and am not yet very *nix knowledgeable, any help would be much appreciated. Situation is: I am trying to traverse a MS ISA server (running as a proxy) and the v4.10 stunnel doesn't allow me to specify a proxy to route thru. Thanks in advance, Geoff __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Find what you need with new enhanced search. http://info.mail.yahoo.com/mail_250

I have compiled and installed stunnel 4.10 under Mac OS X 10.3. I want to set up stunnel to connect a non-ssl newsreader client to an ssl nntp server. The newsreader client is Unison and the server is Easynews SSL server. I don't really know how to do this. I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction. Thanks Geoff ___________ PS I did various searches of the list archive and read TFM, but still need guidance!

ldaps error "unknown protocol"
by Mike Partyka 29 Apr '05

29 Apr '05

Hello, Description of problem is as follows: I have a email server package called Scalix, which when installed came with openldap. On the same server i am also running Stunnel, which is already successfully ssl wrapping imap,pop, and smtp protocols. The ldap directory is very handy for an address book internally but we also have people that will be outside the corporate lan and to provide the directory securely would be desirable so i added the lines in the stunnel.conf to wrap ldap as well. I can see the stunnel daemon listening on port 636. But when i try to connect from any ssl aware mail client, such as evolution, or entourage, i get an error indicating failure to authenticate, which i know is not really the problem because the ldap directory is anonymous read access enabled. Debug logging gives more information about what is occurring, here is the conversion when attempting to connect: 2005.04.28 12:15:05 LOG5[27926:1076812720]: ldaps connected from 71.4.124.200:43012 2005.04.28 12:15:05 LOG7[27926:1076812720]: SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization 2005.04.28 12:15:05 LOG7[27926:1076812720]: waitforsocket: FD=14, DIR=read 2005.04.28 12:15:05 LOG7[27926:1076812720]: waitforsocket: ok 2005.04.28 12:15:05 LOG3[27926:1076812720]: SSL_accept: 140760FC: error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol 2005.04.28 12:15:05 LOG7[27926:1076812720]: ldaps finished (6 left) Searching the archive is saw someone suggesting that either the ldap server or ldap client was not compiled with ssl support. I know the email clients i am trying to connect with are ssl compatible and maybe someone can set me straight here but i didn't think that the ldap server had to be ssl aware and that was the advantage of stunnel is that it can wrap services that are do not have ssl support? At any rate i believe the ldap server does have ssl support becuase i can see the binary omslapd (provided by Scalix, preceding "om" is there because Scalix is based on HP's Open Mail) links to the ssl library using the ldd command, here is the output, note the bolded line: msp1intmx01:~ # ldd /opt/scalix/bin/omslapd linux- gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libom_er.so => /opt/scalix/lib/libom_er.so

stunnel crash when multiple connections
by Debin Chen 27 Apr '05

27 Apr '05

Hi, I will appreciate greatly if you can diagnose the following crash problem: I am using stunnel 4.05, working with webserver thttpd to provide a https solution, in linux environment. First I wrote down some noticeable behavior of stunnel. 1) stunnel each time spawns a thread to handle the https connection then destroy the thread. If I browse a lot of pages, then internally a lot of thread ( or process) got created and destroyed. 2) Sometimes after a https request is completed, the thread is still there. Only following request will trigger the thread got destroyed. Normally if there is no activity, just 2 threads left. The problem: During some stress testing, such as multiple ( in my case, actually just 2 or 3) web browser simultaneously issues request to the web server in https, I found out in certain moment stunnel spawns more than 5 or 6 threads to handle the connections, sometimes it crashed without giving out any serious debug error messages. When it crashed, system resource of CPU and memory is still sufficient. Note than I already set timeoutclose=0, that should be done.

connect directly to unix domain socket?
by Marty Lamb 25 Apr '05

25 Apr '05

Hello, Sorry for the newb question, but I've done quite a bit of searching and haven't found a definitive answer either way - and I doubt I'm the first to ask about this. Is there any way to connect an incoming connection directly to a unix domain socket? Some sort of service level option like: connect = /path/to/socket would be ideal, and hopefully I'm just missing something in the docs. If this is not available, I can just exec socat - but that seems like an unnecessary step. Thanks much, Marty

I'm trying to implement a secure TCP tunnel from one PC to another. I've been looking for quite some time and can't seem to find the problem. I've been following the following example of how to start a server service: stunnel -p /path/to/stunnel.pem -d pop3s -r bar:pop3 I've created a generic certificate, but I get the error: Failed to open configuration file -p What am I doing wrong??

Patch: Windows version of stunnel 4.09 is not thread-safe
by yi.lin＠convergys.com 23 Apr '05

23 Apr '05

We have been using stunnel on Windows as a SSL proxy to connect to HTTPS server but stunnel kept crashing randomly under load. After some investigation, we found the following: according to OpenSSL document (http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/threads.html) "OpenSSL can safely be used in multi-threaded applications provided that at least two callback functions are set. locking_function(int mode, int n, const char *file, int line) is needed to perform locking on shared data structures. (Note that OpenSSL uses a number of global data structures that will be implicitly shared whenever multiple threads use OpenSSL.) Multi-threaded applications will crash at random if it is not set. " The original stunnel package only implements a POSIX Pthread version of locking callback functions, but doesn't provide any implementation for Windows. This has caused random crashes during our testing because the way we use stunnel requires frequent creation/destruction of threads and stunnel is not thread-safe without the locking callbacks. The attached fix attempts to address the problem by implementing the Windows version of locking callbacks using Windows native CRITICAL_SECTION object. =============================================================================================================================== *** sthreads.c Fri Dec 31 02:55:40 2004 --- sthreads_w32.c Thu Apr 14 08:29:07 2005 *************** *** 121,126 **** --- 121,127 ---- #ifdef USE_WIN32 CRITICAL_SECTION stunnel_cs[CRIT_SECTIONS]; + static CRITICAL_SECTION lock_cs[CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS]; void enter_critical_section(SECTION_CODE i) { EnterCriticalSection(stunnel_cs+i); *************** *** 130,141 **** --- 131,161 ---- LeaveCriticalSection(stunnel_cs+i); } + static void locking_callback(int mode, int type, + #ifdef HAVE_OPENSSL + const /* Callback definition has been changed in openssl 0.9.3 */ + #endif + char *file, int line) { + if(mode&CRYPTO_LOCK) + EnterCriticalSection(lock_cs+type); + else + LeaveCriticalSection(lock_cs+type); + } + + void sthreads_init(void) { int i; /* Initialize stunnel critical sections */ for(i=0; i<CRIT_SECTIONS; i++) InitializeCriticalSection(stunnel_cs+i); + + /* Initialize OpenSSL locking callback */ + for(i=0; i<CRYPTO_NUM_LOCKS; i++) + InitializeCriticalSection(lock_cs+i); + CRYPTO_set_locking_callback(locking_callback); + + } unsigned long stunnel_process_id(void) { (See attached file: sthread_diff) Yi Lin Convergys Corporation yi.lin(a)convergys.com (703)885-5767 -- "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.
