Stunnel and RTMPS
by Nimrod Aviram 11 Jan '10

Hi, I'm currently trying to use rtmps, with Red5 and Stunnel, and it doesn't work with properly signed certificates: When I use a self-signed test certificate, everything works just fine. But when I use a proper certificate (2048 bits from godaddy.com, if that matters), NetConnection.connect just doesn't work - the server doesn't get a connection. https stil works though, and the browser treats the certificate as valid, so it's probably not a problem with the certificate. I saw some earlier posts on this problem, does anyone have a solution? Any comments are welcome... thanks, Nimrod

server refuses connection by STARTTLS
by Tsurutani Naoki 10 Jan '10

Hi, I want to connect to SMTP server by STARTTLS, from MUA who does not support STARTTLS. However, I cannot connect to the server with recent stunnel. On Windows XP, my stunnel.conf is the following: client=yes debug=notice output=C:\logs\stunnel.log service=stunnel [smtp_server] accept=127.0.0.1:10025 connect=smtp.example.com:587 protocol=smtp stunnel version 4.27 or 4.29 is started as service, by "C:\Network\stunnel\stunnel.exe" -service -install c:\home\turutani\INI\stunnel.conf I cannot connect with OpenSSL distributed via stunnel. Then I changed the OpenSSL DLL, and found that I can connect with OpenSSL older than 0.9.8i, while that newer than 0.9.8j fails. But it works by adding "sslVersion=all" or "sslVersion=SSLv2" to configuration file. I also ran stunnel on FreeBSD, and found the same result about SSL version. Here is a debug level log, with no "sslVersion=" or "sslVersion=SSLv3": 2010.01.08 09:50:06 LOG7[2372:3760]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2010.01.08 09:50:06 LOG7[2372:3760]:

I finally seem to have stunnel up ,and running with Agent ver 2.0 newsreader. I had to do some more research on this, and thru patience, and many config changes I believe stunnel is now supplying SSL for my agent newsreader. Not an easy task for a total windows dummy like me though. Never have got the Linux thing. I guess it is the having to deal with scripts issue continually that scares the hell out of me!! IF anyone needs the procedure in the future for this let me know and I will send it to them! jb

How to setup forte agent to work with stunnel latest version.
by johnnyb mee 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

I have been trying to get stunnel to work with Agent 2.0 newsreader so that I can use SSL from my news server. I have read the faq and gone thru alot of previous posts concerning this and found this one entry suggestion for the stunnel.config file in order to setup SSL to work with Agent which unfortunately has no SSL capabilities at all. It is suggested to use this entry to get both the newserver and client to work thru using stunnel as a proxy server service basically. c:\program files\stunnel -c -d 127.0.0.1:119 -r unlimited.newshosting.com:563 I copied and pasted the entry changing the usenet server to the above, and now I can no longer get stunnel to start at all. I am getting an error message stating I need to check the logfile to determine what is causing the error. The actual logfile error is as follows: 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: PRNG seeded successfully 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Certificate: stunnel.pem 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Certificate loaded 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Key file: stunnel.pem 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Private key loaded 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: SSL context initialized for service pop3s 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Certificate: stunnel.pem 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Certificate loaded 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Key file: stunnel.pem 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Private key loaded 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: SSL context initialized for service imaps file stunnel.conf line 55: No '=' found 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG3[3456:1988]: Server is down As you can ascertain I am no linux expert at all so working with startup scripts such as this is challenging to say the least. Is the entry I pasted into the config file incorrect or not pointing to the right path for the config file directory or what do you think is missing? I am using Windows XP Pro and know that the actual file for the config resides in windows/system32 folder. Any input on this would be very much appreciated and thanks in advance all. jb

Using stunnel instead of SSL API
by Vladimir Stariradev 24 Dec '09

24 Dec '09

Hi Guys, I'm working on a java mobile app (J2ME MIDP 2.0) which connects to a java server, which I created. The java mobile app is an instant messenger. I want to use stunnel to encrypt the communication between the app and the server. At the moment the server runs on my localhost on port 5555 and accepts connections from the mobile device emulator I have running on the same machine. Eventually I want to transfer the mobile app on to my mobile and use it from there. My machine is running the following versions stunnel 4.29 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8l on Windows 7 x64. I have not yet configured a pam or config file but I would like to continue listening on port 5555 with my own certificate (but for now any will do). Will the fact that I'm running both my server and device emulator on one machine mean that it'll bypass stunnel and I'll never know if it works or not? Should I have my mobile app use SecureConnection (SSL encrypted) class? In that case, I'd have to make the server listen for SSL connections too. That would defeat the purpose of stunnel. Help on configuration is welcome. Thanks for reading, I'm looking forward to your replies Vladimir

privileges not dropped before libwrap processes are spawned
by Micah Anderson 21 Dec '09

21 Dec '09

Hi, I recently stumbled on http://mirt.net/pipermail/stunnel-users/2008-May/001977.html which is exactly what I am seeing with version 4.27 of stunnel, namely the daemon is not switching to the setuid/setgid specified in the config before it is spawned. This means that I get 6 processes, 5 run as root with only one (albeit the one lisenting on the specified sockets) dropping privs to the specified user. The follow-up response from Mike was: I'll modify stunnel to delay spawning libwrap processes until privileges are dropped. and indeed, I find in the Changelog file for version 4.25 the following Bugfixes: * Bugfixes - Spawning libwrap processes delayed until privileges are dropped. However, it seems that either this fix either didn't make it in, or it somehow managed to creep its way back out because it is happening in 4.27. Thanks, micah

BBwin hanging windows
by Gregory Wege 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

Hey Guys, We have the following problem: Bbwin is sending traffic to 2 monitoring servers and is encrypted via stunnel. If one of the monitoring servers goes down, the number of ports being used by bbwin client increases to the point where the box is unusable - no more ports available on the windows box being monitored. If we kill the bbwin process, the problem goes away temporarily - after a short period of time, the problem returns. The problem continues even after the failed hobbit server recovers, and only clears up when we kill the bbwin process. * Windows version Server 2003 * bbwin versions 0.11, 0.12 * stunnel version 4.25 * hobbit server version 4.2.2 Output of the stunnel log shows the following error: 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:2460]: New thread created 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:4016]: hobbit_ssl started 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:4016]: FD 356 in non-blocking mode 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:4016]: TCP_NODELAY option set on local socket 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG5[2336:4016]: hobbit_ssl accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:1725 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:4016]: FD 396 in non-blocking mode 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG6[2336:4016]: connect_blocking: connecting 10.132.55.24:1982 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG3[2336:4016]: connect_blocking: connect 10.132.55.24:1982: No buffer space available (WSAENOBUFS) (10055) 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG5[2336:4016]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:4016]: hobbit_ssl finished (0 left) Can something be added to my stunnel.conf to prevent this from happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Tunnel iPhone - Server
by LoLoVioLo 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Hi all, It is my first post. Sorry if common question but didn't find answer in archives or google. The fact is that I am using an iPhone with a data plan that only allow ports 80 and 443 (http and https). My aim is to be able to use all ports (mail, ftp, msn, etc). The idea is to tunnel all TCP connections between my computer here and my server at home. iPhone <----port-443----> Linux Server <----all-ports----> Internet I know there is alternatives for each service (webmail, webmessenger, etc.) but I think that it is technically possible to have something running that allow using of usual software. I also know that this usage is typically VPN but there is no VPN client for iPhone that allow custom ports and not sure my data plan can route GRE protocol. By the way STunnel was ported to the iPhone. There is some hope. I am not sure Stunnel is the best way to do that and not even sure that Stunnel can do it but hope you can advice. Thanks for your help. LoLoVioLo

Question (simple one I think)
by Reinier van der Gugten 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Question: On the server, port 443 is already in use by a different service. However I require STunnel to communicate also on port 443. I thought, that perhaps I can obtain a second IP address and forward that trafic from the router to port 444 (or any other avail port). Then I can let Stunnel listen to port 444 and thus it would work. The firewall has to translate the 444 back to the 443 when transmitting data ofcourse. Is this the right way to go? Or ca I do this using one and the same IP (but then there would be 2 services listning to the same port right)? Thanks. Reinier

So... my question is has anyone else made a similar change to get the code to compile on AIX 5.3? If not, can you please tell me what configuration options you used to make stunnel work. Thanks for any help you can provide. I am at my wits end here and pretty much my capability in compiling code. Thanks in advance, Geoff

Greetings, I've noticed some problems with v4.28 (posted in this group). Is there any compelling reason to upgrade from 4.27 to 4.28? Or, should we wait for the problems in 4.28 to be fixed in a new version and then upgrade? Regards, Jeff

problem with -fd option on Linux
by Sorkin, David 21 Nov '09

21 Nov '09

I'd like to report an interesting problem I found that occurs on Linux but not Solaris when using the -fd 0 option to read the stunnel configuration in from stdin. I am using stunnel to establish client tunnels on the fly for one time use by programs such as rsync. The client config file is generated automatically with some dynamic parameters. After the client tunnel is established a client program connects to the specified port on localhost. This works fine on Solaris but on Linux I found that the client program has to be invoked *twice* before it works. My work around is to write the config to a temp file and starting stunnel with the location of the file as its argument instead of writing to its standard input. I am using tcp wrappers to protect the stunnel servers and to limit the connects to the client to localhost. This isn't an issue for me anymore but it took a bit of troubleshooting to figure out. On Solaris I am running the same version of stunnel, openssl, etc... all compiled very similarly. One difference could be iconv but I don't know enough about it to say.

Hello, I have a problem ... on my network i have more than one proxy server, and y use Stunnel for a remote RDP. if my computer is directly connected to internet there is no problem. If i connect my computer on my domain with my proxies servers i'm not able to connect me on RDP to my remote RDP server. Is it possible to indicate my proxy server to user ?

Error installing Stunnel-4.28

13 Nov '09

I could not get Stunnel-4.27 to work as described in a previous post on Mon Nov 9 17:12:38 CET 2009 to which nobody responded. So I tried installing the latest version, Stunnel-4.28, and received the following error when running the 'make' command... options.c: In function ‘service_options’: options.c:1139: error: ‘SSL_OP_NO_TICKET’ undeclared (first use in this function) options.c:1139: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once options.c:1139: error: for each function it appears in.) options.c: In function ‘parse_ssl_option’: options.c:1709: error: ‘SSL_OP_NO_TICKET’ undeclared (first use in this function) make[1]: *** [options.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/stunnel-4.28/src' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 The output for 'openssl version' is: OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008 Can anyone help me with either problems please?

Re: [stunnel-users] stunnel-users Digest, Vol 64, Issue 8
by Michael Wilson 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Thanks Ludholf, Re Q2 - Solved. Re Q1 - Thanks, but I should have been clearer, I wanted an automated solution. My nightly Blat e-mails come from a command line .cmd file. I have recently added a javascript to check if stunnel is active and, if not, start it before my e-mails. Now I would like to create a similar script that, if stunnel is running, stops it after my e-mail. I may just have to use Windows Script Host's Terminate.

Vista questions
by Michael Wilson 11 Nov '09

11 Nov '09

I am running 4.27 on Vista and can successfully start it and use Blat to e-mail via my gmail account using stunnel. However, I have two questions: Q1: I would like to close down stunnel after sending my e-mails. How can I do that on Vista? Q2: Why do I get the following when I enter "stunnel -help" at the command line A window with the heading "Stunnel 4.27 on Win32 (not configured)" that says: Stunnel server is down due to an error. You will need to exit and correct the problem Click OK to see the error log window The error log is: Global options compression = zlib|rle compression type debug = [facility].level (e.g. daemon.info) EGD = path to Entropy Gathering Daemon socket engine = auto|engine_id engineCtrl = cmd[:arg] output = file to append log messages RNDbytes = bytes to read from random seed files RNDfile = path to file with random seed data RNDoverwrite = yes|no overwrite seed datafiles with new random data service = service name socket = a|l|r:option=value[:value] set an option on accept/local/remote socket taskbar = yes|no enable the taskbar icon Service-level options accept = [host:]port accept connections on specified host:port CApath = CA certificate directory for 'verify' option CAfile = CA certificate file for 'verify' option cert = certificate chain ciphers = list of permitted SSL ciphers client = yes|no client mode (remote service uses SSL) connect = [host:]port connect remote host:port CRLpath = CRL directory CRLfile = CRL file delay = yes|no delay DNS lookup for 'connect' option engineNum = number of engine to read the key from failover = rr|prio chose failover strategy ident = username for IDENT (RFC 1413) checking key = certificate private key local = IP address to be used as source for remote connections ocsp = OCSP server URL OCSPflag = OCSP server flags options = SSL option set an SSL option protocol = protocol to negotiate before SSL initialization currently supported: cifs, connect, nntp, pop3, smtp protocolAuthentication = authentication type for protocol negotiations protocolHost = host:port for protocol negotiations protocolPassword = password for protocol negotiations protocolUsername = username for protocol negotiations session = session cache timeout (in seconds) stack = thread stack size (in bytes) sslVersion = all|SSLv2|SSLv3|TLSv1 SSL method TIMEOUTbusy = seconds to wait for expected data TIMEOUTclose = seconds to wait for close_notify (set to 0 for buggy MSIE) TIMEOUTconnect = seconds to connect remote host TIMEOUTidle = seconds to keep an idle connection verify = level of peer certificate verification level 1 - verify peer certificate if present level 2 - require valid peer certificate always level 3 - verify peer with locally installed certificate 2009.11.11 13:03:36 LOG3[5440:5128]: Server is down

I just installed Stunnel-4.27 on a Linux box and cannot get it to start with a test config that works on another box running same version of Stunnel. I get the following output... [root@dvl stunnel]# stunnel stunnel.conf-test 2009.11.07 11:07:43 LOG7[31671:46968864029472]: Snagged 64 random bytes from stunnel-test.rnd 2009.11.07 11:07:43 LOG7[31671:46968864029472]: Wrote 1024 new random bytes to stunnel-test.rnd 2009.11.07 11:07:43 LOG7[31671:46968864029472]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2009.11.07 11:07:43 LOG7[31671:46968864029472]: PRNG seeded successfully 2009.11.07 11:07:43 LOG7[31671:46968864029472]: SSL context initialized for service Test 2009.11.07 11:07:43 LOG3[31671:46968864029472]: FIPS_mode_set: 2D06C06E: error:2D06C06E:FIPS routines:FIPS_mode_set:fingerprint does not match Does anybody have a clue what may be causing this and how to fix it? Please pardon my ignorance regarding OpenSSL.
