transfer() loop executes not transferring any data
by Nelson 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

I just setup stunnel to partner with haproxy to handle https. My concern is I saw the logs below on my stunnel logs. I don't know if I need to worry about this since my testing using https is doing fine. stunnel is forwarding https request to haproxy. 2010.06.22 07:57:27 LOG3[1363:2083728]: transfer() loop executes not transferring any data 2010.06.22 07:57:27 LOG3[1363:2083728]: please report the problem to Michal.Trojnara(a)mirt.net 2010.06.22 07:57:27 LOG3[1363:2083728]: protocol=TLSv1, check_SSL_pending=no 2010.06.22 07:57:27 LOG3[1363:2083728]: socket open: rd=yes wr=no, ssl open: rd=no wr=yes 2010.06.22 07:57:27 LOG3[1363:2083728]: socket ready: rd=no wr=no, ssl ready: rd=yes wr=no 2010.06.22 07:57:27 LOG3[1363:2083728]: wants: SSL_read rd=no wr=no, SSL_write rd=no wr=yes, SSL_shutdown rd=no wr=no 2010.06.22 07:57:27 LOG3[1363:2083728]: socket input buffer: 16384 byte(s), ssl input buffer: 0 byte(s) Thanks, Nelson

"choose a digital certificate" pop-up in IE
by KumpelJ 21 Jun '10

Hello I have browsed the archives but have not found the answer to this question... I have stunnel set up to handle https connections. It sits on a Debian server alongside HAProxy and works fine with every browser except for Internet Explorer. When I connect with Internet Explorer, I get a blank "Please choose a digital certificate" pop-up. How do we turn off the request for the client certificate in IE? Here are my details....thanks in advance. #vi /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf verify=0 CAfile=/etc/ssl/certs/chain.pem cert=/etc/ssl/certs/multidomain.pem CApath=/etc/ssl/certs/ pid = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pid debug = 3 output = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.log socket=l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket=r:TCP_NODELAY=1 client=no [https] accept=192.168.11.32:443 connect=localhost:444 TIMEOUTclose=0 xforwardedfor=yes #usr/local/bin/stunnel -version stunnel 4.32 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Global options debug = daemon.notice pid = /usr/local/var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level options cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+RC4:@STRENGTH session = 300 seconds stack = 65536 bytes sslVersion = SSLv3 for client, all for server TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/%22choose-a-digital-certificate%22-pop-up-in-IE-tp286… Sent from the Stunnel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

To those who may find it useful: Mike came to rescure. He provided some new code and gave me the modified file to try out. It worked very well so far, problem solved. He plans to release the change in the next revision. Thanks a lot Mike.

stunnel 4.33 stops (crashes?) after undetermined running time
by Markus Borst 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

Hi, I have a strange problem with current stunnel (4.33): It just crashes after some time. The time is variable, I suspect it stops after a number of connections. System: - Windows Server 2003 SP2 (also happens on Windows Server 2008R2) - stunnel runs as service - stunnel is configured to run as ssl server for imap and pop3 with our certificate (including key-chain) stunnel was running fine for years on the Windows Server 2003. After upgrade to stunnel 4.33, the stunnel service process first worked fine, the just stopped working after some time: - The windows service "stunnel" was stopped - the stunnel.log (standard debug level) showed not error or other entry at the time of the stop. - The windows eventlog shows: ====== Event 7034, Service Control Manager The stunnel service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). ====== (I'm not 100% sure, whether this event log message corresponds to the stunnel crash I described or to another crash.) I have downgrade to version 4.32, the stunnel service now runs uninterrupted as before. Since the time of crash varies somewhat, seemingly with the current load of the server, I suspect that stunnel crashes after a certain amount of ssl connections, but I'm not sure. This has happened on two different servers (Windows Server 2003 SP2 and Windows Server 2008 R2). Is this a known problem? I'd love to do some further tests, but since this is a production system, I cannot test it in our normal environment. A program to generate random ssl connections would come handy to further analyze the problem.

Three patches: DNS CommonName verification support, separated stderr/foreground options, and support for minimal ssl libs
by Tristan Schmelcher 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

Hello, Recently I started using stunnel in an embedded Linux product and I had need to add several features that I think other users would benefit from. I have attached them as separate patches against 4.33. I hereby release them into the public domain. Here is a description of each: stunnel-4.33-handle-minimal-ssl-libs.patch: Add support for building against a libssl/libcrypo that has had various non-essential features removed via the "no-<feature>" Configure options for openssl. This requires disabling non-essential Stunnel features at compile-time if they have dependencies on disabled libssl/libcrypto features. For memory-constrained embedded systems, this is a big win. With this patch I was able to cut the memory footprint of stunnel+openssl by about a third simply by disabling openssl features that I didn't need. stunnel-4.33-separate-stderr-option.patch This splits the stderr logging effect of the "foreground" option into a separate option named "stderr", so that users have the freedom to enable foreground without stderr logging, or vice versa. For backwards compatibility though, specifying foreground = yes implies stderr = yes unless followed in the config by stderr = no. This is useful on embedded Linux systems that lack an implementation of fork() (due to the processor not having an MMU), because on such systems every daemon has to be launched in a foreground mode and pre-daemonized with the simpler vfork() function, e.g. using "&" from a shell. In this mode, logging to stderr does not make sense, because in reality the process is still a daemon so the logging clutters the terminal. stunnel-4.33-dns-commonname-verify-support.patch: I saved the best for last. ;) This adds a "verify_dns" option to check the CommonName in peer certificates against their DNS name when verifying, much as web browsers do. I have seen posts from users asking for this feature in the past, so I think it's value is self-evident. I'd also like to take this opportunity to say that I'm a long-time user of Stunnel on my personal Linux desktop machine and it is a really excellent piece of software. Thank you for making it free and open source.

Stunnel supports ECC certificate?
by Bao, Robert 03 Jun '10

03 Jun '10

I searched the entire archive, couldn't find the answer/solution I am looking for. I have to post to this group, and appreciate any help/suggestion from any you. I use the latest 1.0.0 OpenSSL and 4.33 Stunnel. I used OpenSSL commands that very similar to what is described in the following link to create the ECC certificate and the private key file. http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/sfw/usr/src/lib/openssl/openssl-0 .9.8n/demos/ssltest-ecc/ECC-RSAcertgen.sh Start Stunnel, see the following errors: Key file: (actual path to the private key file)\HOST.KEY error stack: 140B3009 : error:140B3009:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_use_RSAPrivateKey_file:PEM lib SSL_CTX_use_RSAPrivateKey_file: 607907F: error:0607907F:digital envelope routines:EVP_PKEY_get1_RSA:expecting an rsa key There was a similar posting 4-5 years ago, and Mike answered it (the answer was: Stunnel didn't support ECC at that time). http://stunnel.mirt.net/pipermail/stunnel-users/2005-October/000817.html Seems like this is still true today. Then, when the ECC support will be added to Stunnel? If Stunnel already supports ECC certificate, how do I make it work? Thanks.

Is there a way to deploy stunnel to all users versus the current user logged in? I would like to deploy it with sms to all users of the machine.

Default for TIMEOUTidle?

I want to modify TIMEOUTidle in our configuration. To be sure to set it to sensible values, I need to know the default value, but I can't find it in the docs.
