Hi Ludolf , Sorry for my previous typing mistake , There is *no* firewall rules between any of my 3 servers My problem is when I open webmail with https:// and compose any email and click on send button then page is getting expire and I am getting logout. Kindly note that my other webmail pages with https:// are working properly. Where as with http:// the compose email and send works properly without any problem. That is if I open the webmail vai stunnel https config then only problem comes. So I am searching solution and config option with the same. Let me know if any config info require from my end. I am checking out with the option which you have suggested and will reply you shortly.

webmail compose page get expire and logout
by jayesh.shinde 08 Aug '11

08 Aug '11

Dear All , I am trying to setup a load balancing under webmail on my test servers. Here is my setup details :-- Total server are 3 servers. i.e ( 2 backend webmail server and 1 front server ) On one server I have installed haproxy-1.4.15.tar.gz + stunnel-4.41.tar.gz with http:// and https:// Another two servers are installed with squirrelmail . my problem:-- ========== 1) When I access the webmail by https://webmail.domain.com and compose any email and click on send button , the page is getting expire and I am getting log out from webmail. In Firefox there is no error on browser , where as in internet explorer I am getting below error with popup window :-- *Error Popup* :-- ============ "do you want to view only the webpage content that was deliver securely. This webpage contain the content that will not be delivered using the secure HTTPS connection, which could compromise the security of entire webpage." Where as if I check with http://webmail.domain.com , then the mail compose and send work properly. Here is the stunnel.conf :-- =================== [root@jayesh ~]# cat /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf cert=/opt/ssl/ssl.key/mail_domain_com.crt key=/opt/ssl/ssl.key/domain.key setuid=stunnel setgid=stunnel pid=/var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid output = /var/log/stunnel.log debug = 7 socket=l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket=r:TCP_NODELAY=1 [https] accept=192.168.30.200:443 connect=192.168.30.200:81 TIMEOUTclose = 0 session = 600 TIMEOUTbusy = 600 TIMEOUTclose = 300 TIMEOUTconnect = 600 I checked by defining the TIMEOUTs but I am not able to figure out why the page is getting expire and I am getting logout ? There is firewall rule between any servers. Please suggest me and guide on this issue. I am stuck here. Regards Jayesh Shinde

anyone got a port for android?
by Jason Haar 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hi there Exchange email doesn't work on Android for us because we have a requirement for using client certs to protect the ActiveSync over HTTPS transactions. If I had stunnel, I could sync with localhost and stunnel could do the client cert-foo.... So does anyone know of a working stunnel implementation for Android (or even something else that does the same job?) Thanks -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.

stunnel OK without "transparent = source", with = timeout problem
by Elodie BOSSIER 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

Greetings again, Thanks so much to have updated the manual about SNI, my stunel works correctly. But i have a tiny problem, when i visit my webserver, the SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] with PHP isn't the ip adress of the visitor but the IP of the stunnel. I have read the manual about this transparent proxy and i don't sucess with the configuration. This is my config file : pid = /stunnel.pid options = NO_SSLv2 transparent = source [virtual] accept = 443 cert = /usr/local/openssl/etc/CERTIFICATES/www.franceserv.fr_cert.cert key = /usr/local/openssl/etc/PRIVATE_KEYS/www.franceserv.fr_key.pem connect = www.franceserv.fr:80 [sni1] sni = virtual:elodie.franceserv.com cert = /etc/ssl-fsh/cert-elodie.franceserv.com.pem key = /etc/ssl-fsh/key-franceserv.key connect = elodie.franceserv.com:80 [sni2] sni = virtual:befun.franceserv.com cert = /etc/ssl-fsh/cert-befun.franceserv.com.pem key = /etc/ssl-fsh/key-franceserv.key connect = befun.franceserv.com:80 It's don't work, i have a timeout with my browser. With iptables, i have set this : iptables -t mangle -N DIVERT iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m socket -j DIVERT iptables -t mangle -A DIVERT -j MARK --set-mark 1 iptables -t mangle -A DIVERT -j ACCEPT ip rule add fwmark 1 lookup 100 ip route add local 0.0.0.0/0 dev lo table 100 echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/lo/rp_filter echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward My stunnel is on the server 192.168.0.20 and the webserver on 192.168.0.2 I try to follow the help of http://www.stunnel.org/static/stunnel.html#service_level_options with : transparent = none | source | destination | both (Unix only) Could you tell me what i make wrong please ?

DH parameters
by yyy 30 Jul '11

30 Jul '11

Hello! How to specify custom DH parameters? There is an option for specifying ECDH curve (curve option), but not for ordinary DH. Searching man page for "DH" did not yield anything. Searching this list archive for "DH paramaeters" found only some default error messages.

Issue with -quiet option (Windows 2000 Server SP4)
by rtr purchase 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Hello, Thank you for STunnel. I've been using BLAT command line mailer for years at a client's site to send system status messages to me. Recently the client switched to ATT's SSL protected email. Blat does not support SSL. STunnel to the rescue. I started with ver. 4.39. I wanted to start and stop the STUNNEL service via script commands but found that the -quiet switch did not suppress the OK message box consistently. This naturally stopped the script from continuing. This was true of both the -start and -stop functions but was more of an issue with the -stop function. While looking through the documentation to see what I might be doing wrong, I saw that 4.40 was released (the day after I downloaded 4.39). 4.40 has the same issue with the -quiet switch but the addition of the -exit switch allowed me to start and stop STUNNEL without running it as a service. Great timing! I had tested my scripts using a Windows 7 machine where they functioned as expected. It was only when I moved them to the client's Windows 2000 Server (SP4) that this issue appeared.

misconfiguration of transparent proxy
by Marco Strullato 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Hi all, is there any way to use stunnel to proxy a connection without using encryption? I have an application that is listening on 0.0.0.0:port but which refuses connection if not coming from localhost:port and that application is reachable only with telnet, with no encryption. I have found a possible configuration that is the following: chroot = /var/run/stunnel/ setuid = nobody setgid = nobody pid = /stunnel.pid socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 debug = 7 output = /var/log/stunnel.log transparent=yes [AppSrv01] accept = 5776 connect = 4776 [AppSrv02] accept = 5777 connect = 4777 but it seems not working: that is the log. 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG5[30375:47349987463360]: stunnel 4.15 on x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG5[30375:47349987463360]: Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG6[30375:47349987463360]: file ulimit = 1024 (can be changed with 'ulimit -n') 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG6[30375:47349987463360]: poll() used - no FD_SETSIZE limit for file descriptors 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG5[30375:47349987463360]: 500 clients allowed 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: FD 4 in non-blocking mode 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: FD 5 in non-blocking mode 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: FD 6 in non-blocking mode 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: AppSrv01 bound to 0.0.0.0:5776 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: FD 7 in non-blocking mode 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: AppSrv02 bound to 0.0.0.0:5777 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30376:47349987463360]: Created pid file /stunnel.pid 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:47349987463360]: AppSrv01 accepted FD=8 from 10.0.1.11:41922 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: AppSrv01 started 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: FD 8 in non-blocking mode 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: TCP_NODELAY option set on local socket 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: FD 9 in non-blocking mode 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: FD 10 in non-blocking mode 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:47349987463360]: Cleaning up the signal pipe 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG6[30376:47349987463360]: Child process 30384 finished with code 0 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: Connection from 10.0.1.11:41922 permitted by libwrap 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG5[30376:1094314304]: AppSrv01 connected from 10.0.1.11:41922 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization 2011.07.06 11:08:43 LOG3[30376:1094314304]: SSL_accept: 140760FC: error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol 2011.07.06 11:08:43 LOG5[30376:1094314304]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket 2011.07.06 11:08:43 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: AppSrv01 finished (0 left) and from the standard out I get: 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: Snagged 64 random bytes from /home/user/.rnd 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: Wrote 1024 new random bytes to /home/user/.rnd 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG6[30375:47349987463360]: PRNG seeded successfully 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: Certificate: /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: Key file: /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: SSL context initialized for service AppSrv01 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: Certificate: /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: Key file: /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: SSL context initialized for service AppSrv02 What happens connecting with telnet is: Trying 10.0.2.140...

stunnel 4.40b1
by Michal Trojnara 17 Jul '11

Dear Users, I have just added a new Windows GUI menu to save peer certificate chains. Please to give it a try and let me know if there are any issues, so I can fix them in the final stunnel 4.40: ftp://ftp.stunnel.org/stunnel/stunnel-4.40b1-installer.exe Another useful function would probably be a replacement for Unix c_rehash script. 8-) I also appreciate your comments are suggestions related to the new functionality.

Windows 7 connection to HTTPS server
by Daniel Pierce 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

stunnel user group, Thanks Yucong Sun or your help. I have changed the configuration file values to the values that you recommended. I didn't read the documentation careful enough. [https] accept = 3600 connect = partnerlogin.advancedmd.com <https://partnerlogin.advancedmd.com/practicemanager/xmlrpc/processrequest.a sp> :443 (stopped and started the windows service to get the new configuration) HOWEVER I'm still not getting stunnel to provide the interface to the https web server. I have a http client software which I have tried both GET and POST calls to https://localhost:3600/practicemanager/xmlrpc/processrequest.asp <blocked::https://localhost:3600/practicemanager/xmlrpc/processrequest.asp> Every time the interface comes back with the error "The Connection to the Server was Reset while the Page was Loading" So I decided to try the page using a standard web browser (Firefox and IE) thinking that my client software may have a problem. I opened the browser and entered the address https://localhost:3600/practicemanager/xmlrpc/processrequest.asp <blocked::https://localhost:3600/practicemanager/xmlrpc/processrequest.asp> Got the same results. So I changed the configuration to go to the same web site as gmail with the following configuration. [https] accept = 3600 connect = mail.google.com:443 When I try to open the page with the browser to address https://localhost:3600/mail/?hl=en <blocked::https://localhost:3600/mail/?hl=en&shva=1#inbox> &shva=1#inbox, I get the same error message. NEXT I started WIRESHARK on the network and filtered for packets coming from/to my host computer. When I enter https://localhost:3600/mail/?hl=en <blocked::https://localhost:3600/mail/?hl=en&shva=1#inbox> &shva=1#inbox on the browser. The following details were captured by WIRESHARK.

Hi there. I've built stunnel on the Mac (including the patch for str.c) and have problem when I run it. Whenever it gets a request on one side (from a browser), I see the following in the log. The weird thing is that when I run stunnel in gdb it works?? 2011.07.05 17:51:00 LOG7[6300:4297842688]: Service https started 2011.07.05 17:51:00 LOG7[6300:4297842688]: Option TCP_NODELAY set on local socket 2011.07.05 17:51:00 LOG7[6300:4297842688]: Waiting for a libwrap process 2011.07.05 17:51:00 LOG7[6300:4297842688]: Acquired libwrap process #0 2011.07.05 17:51:00 LOG3[6300:4297842688]: Unexpected socket close (read_blocking) 2011.07.05 17:51:00 LOG5[6300:4297842688]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket Any advice would be appreciated. thanks Athir Nuaimi

stunnel user group, I'm trying to use stunnel to connect to a secure web server to do an XML interface, but I'm having no luck. What am I missing? Environment OS = Windows 7 Ultimate stunnel version = 4.39 (latest release) stunnel installed as service and is running. Windows Firewall = OFF, but have added stunnel to the application list Anti-Virus = ESET, have disabled Web Access Protection Configuration File cert = stunnel.pem options = NO_SSLv2 debug = 7 output = c:\Program files\stunnel\stunnel.log client = yes [https] accept = 3600 connect = <https://partnerlogin.advancedmd.com/practicemanager/xmlrpc/processrequest.a sp> https://partnerlogin.advancedmd.com/practicemanager/xmlrpc/processrequest.as p ;TIMEOUTclose = 0 Log File 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG7[5880:6040]: No limit detected for the number of clients 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG7[5880:6040]: make_sockets: s_socket#1: FD=136 allocated (blocking mode) 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG7[5880:6040]: make_sockets: s_socket#2: FD=140 allocated (blocking mode) 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG7[5880:6040]: make_sockets: s_accept: FD=144 allocated (non-blocking mode) 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG5[5880:6040]: stunnel 4.39 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu platform 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG5[5880:6040]: Compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.0d 8 Feb 2011 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG5[5880:6040]: Threading:WIN32 SSL:ENGINE Auth:none Sockets:SELECT,IPv6 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG5[5880:6040]: Reading configuration from file stunnel.conf 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG7[5880:6040]: Snagged 64 random bytes from C:/.rnd 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG7[5880:6040]: Wrote 1024 new random bytes to C:/.rnd 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG7[5880:6040]: PRNG seeded successfully 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG3[5880:6040]: Unknown TCP service '//partnerlogin.advancedmd.com/practicemanager/xmlrpc/processrequest.asp' 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG6[5880:6040]: Cannot resolve 'https://partnerlogin.advancedmd.com/practicemanager/xmlrpc/processrequest.a sp' - delaying DNS lookup 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG7[5880:6040]: Configuration SSL options: 0x01000000 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG7[5880:6040]: SSL options set: 0x01000004 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG7[5880:6040]: Certificate: stunnel.pem 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG7[5880:6040]: Certificate loaded 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG7[5880:6040]: Key file: stunnel.pem 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG7[5880:6040]: Private key loaded 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG7[5880:6040]: SSL context initialized for service https 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG5[5880:6040]: Configuration successful 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG7[5880:6040]: accept socket: FD=136 allocated (non-blocking mode) 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG7[5880:6040]: Option SO_REUSEADDR set on accept socket 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG7[5880:6040]: Service https bound to 0.0.0.0:3600 2011.07.06 16:00:07 LOG7[5880:6040]: Service https opened FD=136 I can open a Firefox browser and the designated URL address resolves, but stunnel cannot resolve it. Do I have the configuration wrong or is Windows 7 blocking the connection? I'm able to send an XML message from by application to 127.0.0.1:3600 and stunnel responds with a successful but EMPTY RESPONSE. Thanks in advance for your help. Dan Pierce Xpert Assist Corp.

stunnel 4.38 released
by Michal Trojnara 29 Jun '11

29 Jun '11

Dear Users, I have just released version 4.38 of stunnel. The ChangeLog entry: Version 4.38, 2011.06.28, urgency: MEDIUM: * New features - Server-side SNI implemented (RFC 3546 section 3.1) with a new service-level option "nsi". - "socket" option also accepts "yes" and "no" for flags. - Nagle's algorithm is now disabled by default for improved interactivity. * Bugfixes - A compilation fix was added for OpenSSL version < 1.0.0. - Signal pipe set to non-blocking mode. This bug caused hangs of stunnel features based on signals, e.g. local mode, FORK threading, or configuration file reload on Unix. Win32 platform was not affected.
