GMail and OAuth 2.0
by Colin Knight 12 May '22

12 May '22

I’ve received an email from Google advising that it will no longer be able to login to Gmail with older third party apps using just username/password. Minimum login security requirements for software are now OAuth 2.0 or similar. I’m using an iPhone to post this which won’t be affected but my laptop uses POP3 collection via Foxmail and Stunnel. I must have continued access to mail on my laptop so will I have to dump Gmail or does Stunnel use OAuth 2.0 (it’s not in my config file.) Advice appreciated.

Handling AUTH LOGIN for SMTP
by reaperunknown＠live.com 22 Apr '22

22 Apr '22

Hello everyone. Perhaps I'm a little new with Stunnel but, I've successfully used it to get an old EarthLink MailStation compatible with GMail SMTP and POP mail. Kind of neat. That said, I wish to use Outlook, but going through the SMTP process manually via Telnet, I've found that the SMTP requires you issue "AUTH LOGIN" command, and give the username and password in Base64. If I do this manually, I can send SMTP mail all day. However, this unit is old enough that I don't think it knows how to do anything with SMTP auth. It also looks like Outlook doesn't turn SMTP auth off for Outlook.com personal accounts. Is there any way that I've missed to have Stunnel handle the AUTH LOGIN part of the SMTP process, so that device that can't, doesn't have to? Thanks!

Force PSK Authentication
by gerhard＠ats.hacktic.nl 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

Hi stunnel-users, Is there a way to force PSK Authentication? Current behavior is that if the client has no PSK Authentication configured, no authentication is performed and the connection proceeds even when the server has this configured: ciphers = PSK PSKsecrets = mypsk.txt Is this expected behavior? Is there a way to enforce PSK, in other words block clients without PSK Authentication? Thanks

Windows service won't start. ""The Stunnel TLS wrapper service is marked as an interactive service."
by robert.croteau＠quest.com 15 Apr '22

15 Apr '22

Window 10 LTCS (1089): "The Stunnel TLS wrapper service is marked as an interactive service. However, the system is configured to not allow interactive services. This service may not function properly." looks like starting with version 5.61, this above error appears in the System Event log. I've given a quick glance at the changes from 5.60 to 5.61 and there a lot of them. From the release notes, seems that windows services code might have been affected: New features for the Windows platform - Added client mode allowing authenticated users to view logs, reconfigure and terminate running stunnel services. - Added support for multiple GUI and service instances distinguised by the location of stunnel.conf. On GitHub, I also noticed that in the source code for src/ui_win_gui.c the service is created as follows: service=CreateService(scm, SERVICE_NAME, SERVICE_DISPLAY_NAME, SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS, SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS|SERVICE_INTERACTIVE_PROCESS, SERVICE_AUTO_START, SERVICE_ERROR_NORMAL, service_path, NULL, NULL, TEXT("TCPIP\0"), NULL, NULL);ui_win_gui.c at around line 1622 the SERVICE_INTERACTIVE_PROCESS flag is set Is this flag necessary? I guess that would be the culprit. my reason to upgrade is because of the CVE-2022-0778 OpenSSL vulnerability anyone has a workaround for this? Microsoft has fully disabled Interactive Service Detection starting with Windows 10 Build 1803 and Windows Server 2016 and 2019. So, it looks like that that Interactive services are no longer allowed and this can't be circumvented by changing some registry setting like it seems it was possible before. thank you

issue with vendor trying to use proxy for tls
by Daniel Trickett 14 Apr '22

14 Apr '22

Hi stunnelers, We have a supplier which we are attempting punchout to ecommerce site. We use the url http://local-val.dc-clic.com:8899/punchout/request/0fd1ef2b-d09a-441d-b161-… to initiate punchout. The host local-val.dc.clic.com routes to our local host, where stunnel is listening on port 8899. Our config file contains the following below. accept = local-val.dc-clic.com:8899 connect = val.dc-clic.com:443 The application fails to connect and is trying to connect using the incorrect url. Error Code: 202 Supplier Site Does Not Respond Unable to send the Login Request XML. Supplier Login URL: http://local-val.dc-clic.com:8899/punchout/request/0fd1ef2b-d09a-441d-b161-… We use stunnel as tls proxy for various suppliers and have been encountering more issues lately. I am feeling that the long string after the request is causing an issue for stunnel, but unclear to us. Our understanding is stunnel will open the connection to https:// val.dc-clic.com:443/punchout/request/0fd1ef2b-d09a-441d-b161-5ada0e226b80. Stunnel log indicates that a connection is opened to val.dc-clic.com. Any help appreciated!

Can parent proxy see what's going through stunnel
by mingheng wang 28 Mar '22

28 Mar '22

Hi community, I'm using stunnel behind my company proxy like this: protocol=connect connect=proxy.ourcompany.com:3128 protocolHost=myownproxy.net:443 Since I notice that our company seems to be intercepting HTTPS because my web browser sometimes sees our company's certificate instead of the real websites'. So I want to make sure if the company proxy can see what's going through stunnel. Thanks in advance.

Stunnel aborted the workflow silently in half way
by ygaochn＠amazon.com 25 Mar '22

25 Mar '22

Hey stunnel-users, We are using stunnel as the encryption transit between our NFS client and server. Recently we detected that the stunnel aborted the workflow silently in half way for unknown reason. We'd like to understand what could be the potential reason that cause the issue. Stunnel version: 4.56/5.56, below logs are for 4.56, 5.56 is from customer report without detail log Occurance #1: 2022.03.17 02:19:58 LOG7[1105:139990955783936]: connect_blocking: s_poll_wait IP:PORT: waiting 10 seconds # -> There should be a `TIMEOUTconnect exceeded` failure if the connection failed, but there is no info about how is the waiting going on, there is no log further 2022.03.17 02:56:09 LOG7[1105:139990955789440]: Dispatching signals from the signal pipe Occurance #2: 2022.03.23 16:10:49 LOG6[19003:140551554406144]: CERT: Host name "**" matched with "**" # Aborted again, this is the handshake phase 2022.03.23 16:56:09 LOG7[19003:140551554411648]: Dispatching signals from the signal pipe From the PCAP of the #2 occurance, there is no client side cert and key send to server side, so we can rule out the network issue. 8510 2022-03-23 16:09:47.660910 A B TLSv1.2 5507 Server Hello, Certificate[Packet size limited during capture] 8511 2022-03-23 16:09:47.660919 B A TCP 68 38390 → 2049 [ACK] Seq=340 Ack=5440 Win=57472 Len=0 TSval=698509941 TSecr=1821371384 ... No other client side packet send to server side afterwards, server side are waiting Does anyone encounter this before? I searched the archive but there is no similar issue. What could cause stunnel swallow all the subsequent workflow? Thanks.
