1 server and more desktops
by aaa aaa 07 Jun '09

07 Jun '09

Hello, I have one server and 3 desktops (PC1,PC2,PC3). I need to do this: every pc should communicate with server with his own certificate and server should sends anwser back to the computer encrypted for this one pc only. Example: PC3 {with server's public key} sends data to server and server sends answer to PC3 (encrypted wiht unique PC3's public key). then PC2 {with server's public key} sends data to server and server sends answer to PC2 (encrypted wiht unique PC2's public key). and so on... how should I configure stunnel for this? And another question > how should I configure all computers (server, pc1,pc2,pc3) to accept communication over secured stunnel only and drop all other unsecured communication? thank you in advance. regards, Mia ---------- Sutaz s InPage o ceny za viac ako 2000 Euro.

Hello guys, I would like to secure my OpenBSD/FreeBSD for communication over stunnel only. How should I configure BSD and stunnel when I want allow comminucation with one server only (data from pc encrypted with server's public certificate and allow data from this server to my pc encrypted with pc's public key) and drop all other communication (all other ports and certificates)? thank you, mia ---------- Sutaz s InPage o ceny za viac ako 2000 Euro.

Re: [stunnel-users] Stunnel for secure email connections
by Lee 25 May '09

25 May '09

Thanks again, Guy, I appreciate your efforts there. So I don't have to do anything regarding certificates or digital signatures, or anything along those lines? I just install OpenSSL and Stunnel, configure stunnel.conf, tweak Thunderbird's accounts settings and Avast's ports, and go with it? Guy wrote: > So what you have to do to proxy the connections through Avast! I don't > know, you'll need to show. > Do you *really* need to scan your outbound connections? > This whole thing is more of a challenge / experiment than anything else. Certainly, scanning my SMTP connection(s) is far from important. Off this specific Stunnel issue but related:- For the last day or so, I've gone back to my 'old' setup of TB + Popfile + Avast, and I've noticed that emails from my 'secure' POP connections are actually being scanned by Avast. They probably have been for some time and I didn't notice, but only recently have I turned on the 'adding of notes' in Avast's email scanner which adds an email footer along the lines of 'Avast found this message to be clean'. I assume this scanning of 'secure' emails is a convenient byproduct somehow or other of routing the secure connections through Popfile. For reference, Popfile is listening on its default port of 110, and the Avast email scanner currently also only has port 110 in its POP redirected ports settings. Thunderbird has the host for those accounts as 127.0.0.1, also on port 110, and the username is in the form of: pop_server:username:ssl which Popfile requires. The :ssl is required by Popfile to handle secure connections. I do notice that non-secure connections' emails end up with the scanning footer being added twice, suggesting Avast is double scanning them. Secure connections' emails only get the one footer added. So all told, all incoming email seems to be scanned by Avast, albeit some of it twice. > Your stunnel configuration file has 2 [popmail] service names, that > will be confusing. And why do you have a [popmail] and [pop3_sky] > connecting to the same MTA? > That is because I don't know what I'm doing :) I originally built stunnel.conf without catering for Popfile, then I wanted to introduce Popfile into the equation, so I found the below advice page regarding Popfile and Stunnel :- http://getpopfile.org/docs/howtos:stunnel It appears I wrongly guessed how to interpret that advice on what to add to stunnel.conf I have since had some clarification on this from a query I raised on this at the Popfile forums:- http://getpopfile.org/discussion/1/188 > Did you enable debugging within stunnel? > > Global options: > > debug = debug > output = stunnel.log > Yes, I did try that, and dabbled a little with the packet sniffers. However I didn't find it any easier to pinpoint what was actually going on regarding the prescence or otherwise of a secure connection. ie I don't know what I'm looking at/for. At the moment, my only method of 'testing' what is 'probably' going on, is to open or close parts of my local chain, and thereby build an apparent picture of what is happening. My original doubts of 'am I actually achieving a secure connection using Stunnel and my local chain' are not grounded in anything; I am/was just wanting to somehow avoid just assuming I had set everything up properly.

Hello Guy and thanks for your reply. Guy wrote: > So you have... > Client (MUA) <=> Avast and/or Popfile <=> Stunnel <=> Server (MTA) > > > Yes, that's right. I've looked at the mail headers more, and tried some of the packet sniffing/log methods, but I'm not really having any more success in understanding / pinpointing a secure connection. I think I'm not going to be able to grasp the issues here, so maybe it is simpler if I could simply state what I have done, to check that it should be correct; I installed both OpenSLL and Stunnel. I haven't changed anything from the OpenSLL install. In stunnel.conf, I currently have the file shown at the bottom of this email. I have changed settings in Thunderbird's mail accounts (hosts and ports) and in Avast Anti-Virus email scanner. (its redirected ports settings) Adding Popfile (a local mail 'tagging' proxy) back into the equation has required some further tweaks to Thunderbird's ports and server usernames syntax. As I said earlier, all seems to be working, in that my 'chain' appears to be having an effect. However should I be considering anything else to make this process meaningful, such as certificates or security issues? My only motive for using Stunnel and OpenSSL is to allow Avast email scanner to scan _all_ emails, including those it normally cannot scan due to their servers requiring me to use a secure connection. So, if I am doing this 'new' process wrongly or opening up security issues due to not understanding it, I would be better off reverting to how it was previously, seeing as the mail servers I use state they do virus scanning anyway. Thanks again, Lee UK my current stunnel.conf :- client=yes service=popmail [popmail] accept = 127.0.0.1:210 connect = pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk:995 [popmail] accept = 127.0.0.1:310 connect = pop.tools.sky.com:995 [pop3_sky] accept = 127.0.0.1:1109 connect = pop.tools.sky.com:995 [pop3_yahoo] accept = 127.0.0.1:1108 connect = pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk:995 [smtp_sky] accept=127.0.0.1:259 connect=smtp.tools.sky.com:465 [smtp_yahoo] accept=127.0.0.1:258 connect=smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk:465 [imap_sky] accept=127.0.0.1:1439 connect=imap.tools.sky.com:993 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- avast!

Stunnel for secure email connections; email headers ?
by Lee 23 May '09

23 May '09

Hello, I have been dabbling with Stunnel in order to do the following: Connect with remote POP3, IMAP and SMTP servers using a secure connection; Path those connections on my Windows XP desktop pc through Avast Anti-Virus and/or Popfile to Mozilla Thunderbird. After much fiddling and grinding of my rusty mental muscles, I appear to have everything working and pathing properly. However I am not confident and some amount of luck has been involved in settling on the apparently correct pathing, ports settings and stunnel.conf So, my question here is; Can I look for anything in the email headers to verify that I am actually achieving a locally made secure connection using Stunnel? Or, if necessary, can I force something into the headers to show this? As I imply, results/clues suggest all is in place correctly, but part of me doesn't really believe I have actually done it. :) Thanks very much, Lee UK --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

Multiple SSL Versions
by Jeremy 22 May '09

22 May '09

Hi, Is there any way to make the sslVersion version take multiple options? I would like to restrict things to TLSv1 or SSLv3 but it seems only one option can be specified. I tried specifying this in the cipher section instead of ALL but couldn't seem to get it to work. Also here is something a little weird I've noticed, if anyone else has ran into it before and knows what's going on. With sites set to use TLSv1, sometimes while testing a HTTPS site using Firefox SSL (when both SSLv3 and TLSv1 is enabled in Firefox) sometimes the site won't come up. It feels like Firefox is using a weird SSL version to do the SSL certificate verification but once you trust the certificate it uses the right settings. I've set sslVersion = all, and trusted the SSL certificate in Firefox, then set sslVersion = TLSv1 again and I can get to the site ok at that point. Kind of weird. I'm probably just going to have to leave sslVersion = all, but Nessus and other security scans really like things locked down to just TLSv1 or SSLv3. stunnel: LOG5[17972:3086609296]: https-site01 accepted connection from 1.2.3.4:50878 stunnel: LOG3[17972:3086609296]: SSL_accept: 1408F10B: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number stunnel: LOG5[17972:3086609296]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket

Preventing "choose a digital certificate" pop-up in IE
by Wallace Winfrey 08 May '09

08 May '09

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 CentOS 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. I am pretty sure I have a configuration issue. Here's what I have: socket=l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket=r:TCP_NODELAY=1 options = NO_SSLv2 ciphers=ALL:!aNULL:!ADH:!eNULL:!LOW:!EXP:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM output = /var/log/stunnel.log [my.host.name] accept=my.external.IP:443 connect=127.0.0.1:8101 xforwardedfor=yes CAfile=/etc/stunnel/GlobalSign.pem cert=/etc/stunnel/my.host.name.pem verify=1 How do we turn off the request for the client certificate in IE? Here are my details....thanks in advance. w * stunnel-4.15-2.el5.1 * I am running it standalone: /usr/sbin/stunnel /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf * /usr/sbin/stunnel -version stunnel 4.15 on i686-pc-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv4 Auth:LIBWRAP Global options debug = 5 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 key = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem session = 300 seconds TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none * uname -a: Linux my.host.name 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 09:19:18 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux * glibc version is 2.5-34 * gcc is not installed, using CentOS RPM * OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008
