stunnel-users Digest, Vol 38, Issue 14

Hi, What you have understood is correct. We are the provider of the Web Service; and my requirement is something as explained below, The end users are using a Web site and the data entered in the web site will be converted to an XML file and send to the Web Service which we have provided. The end users are using STUNNEL to encrypt the XML files before sending to us. Hence, I need to decrypt the message and process it. Hence, I think I need to use STUNNEL for doing the same. Also, upon request from the end users I need to send some data, again it is XML files; and I need to encrypt this using STUNNEL and send it to the end user. I am new to STUNNEL and went through the examples provided in www.stunnel.org and didn't get a very good idea on how to get this done. I hope, I am able to make it clear this time. I was communicating through another email id till now (sreejithmohanm(a)gmail.com). For our future communication, I will be using the present email id. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks and best regards, Sreejith Mohan Menon Software Engineer Globalization Services SAP Labs India Pvt. Ltd. 4th Floor 1B, RMZ NXT, Sonnenhalli, K.R. Puram Hobli, East Taluk, Bangalore - 560 066.

Stunnel Dies at 3500 connections...
by bear＠bears.org 27 Sep '07

27 Sep '07

Hey! I'm having a problem with a stunnel setup I have, and was wondering if anyone could help? I have two machines, one is acting as a simulator of clients. It uses the MINA library from apache to simulate a bunch of clients of the server. And the other acting as a server. Without stunnel in place, the client and server chat with no trouble... even with as many as 10k simulated clients. The protocol they communicate is just compressed binary data over standard TCP/IP. 20-50 bytes each direction per exchange. The behavior changes once stunnel is in place. The server behaves just fine, but the client acts very strange... in ways that make me think that stunnel is hitting some OS limit. (The files ulimit is set waaaaaay higher than the number of clients) On starting the client application, it begins making connections through the stunnel tunnel. The first 1500 or so are fine, but after that the load on the machine begins to climb. It gets to 5 or so around 2000. If I only do 2000 clients, the load then drops down into the 0.5 range, and the system runs okay. However, if I set the number of simulated clients higher... say 4000, the load continues to climb. When it gets to 3500 or so, the load goes above 500. The machine becomes unusable, and after a bit, stunnel dies with the message KILLED. I tried changing how quickly the clients connect, but that seemed to make no difference. Also, running two stunnels for the clients, and sending 2000 to each, for instance, causes it to still break down around 3500 or so. (Which is why I think it is an os limit) Any suggestions on this? Thanks!

Setting up Stunnel with Gmail.
by Roger 24 Sep '07

24 Sep '07

Hi, A simple question from a technical learner! I use Gmail's POP3 & SMTP [SSL] servers for three Gmail accounts using Thunderbird as my email client. I would like to know EXACTLY how to set up stunnel so that my anti-virus program ( NOD32) can scan messages being sent and received by SSL on ports 995 & 465. I have Open SSL installed: downloaded but not yet installed stunnel set up. I have tried before to use stunnel, but failed as I keep getting message, as I recall, to the effect that localhost is not recognised. There are detailed explanations on the web for configuring with Spampal, but I don't have, or need Spampal! Thanks, Roger

Re: [stunnel-users] Relaying OOB data [Was: A series of minor patchesfrom Debian]
by Richard's Hotmail 23 Sep '07

23 Sep '07

Hi Luis, Thanks for the detailed reply! > Ok, been reading. The short answer is no. Oh well :-( I guess that's what IPsec's for. > The longer answer is SSL doesn't support OOB data, so that's why > not. I did read your post saying you've read specs where it says it > does, but I could find no such. Take a look at RFC4346, section 6.2 > http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4346#page-14 > Take a look also at this thread: > http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tls/current/msg01041.html Doesn't that thread suggest that OOB functionality is part of the SSLv3 standard? Is version three one of those "yet to be" standards that is still a long way off? Renamed TLS? (I found several RFCs dealing with this, anyone know which is the relevant one? I couldn't find "Urgent", "OOB" or "band" in 4346) My understanding (imagination maybe) is that the OOB character is to be packaged up as a single byte record surrounded with the SSL wrapper with a bit set that says it's the OOB character. I would now like stunnel just to dequeue it from SSL and then set the MSG_OOB flag and replay it to the application port. So it's sort of quasi-OOB to Stunnel and then true-OOB to the receiving port. > The argument (almost) in full: > - SSL doesn't define anything like OOB data in its streams, so > anything we did in stunnel would be an extension, and not > interoperable. And, anyways, would have to be done in openssl and not > in stunnel, I think. I must be confused about what's available (the only SSL code I've cut is simple Java client stuff) 'cos I'm sure I've seen patch-comments that say something like "make sure stunnel handles OOB data correctly" and isn't there some sort of OOB INLINE configuration parameter. Is there really northing available after the SSL_Read that identifies the data as an OOB character? Anyway, thanks again for the reply. Cheers Richard Maher PS. Does anyone out there know of a lower-level version of Stunnel (or something else) that spoofs the originating host-address when replaying the connection on the local server? It sure would be useful for client identification, and for reducing DoS attacks! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Luis Rodrigo Gallardo Cruz" <rodrigo(a)nul-unu.com> To: <stunnel-users(a)mirt.net> Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2007 9:14 AM Subject: [stunnel-users] Relaying OOB data [Was: A series of minor patchesfrom Debian] > _______________________________________________ > stunnel-users mailing list > stunnel-users(a)mirt.net > http://stunnel.mirt.net/mailman/listinfo/stunnel-users

A series of minor patches from Debian
by Luis Rodrigo Gallardo Cruz 23 Sep '07

23 Sep '07

Hello. I have recently become the maintainer for the Debian package of stunnel. During the adoption process I noticed a few things that I think would be good to fix in the code. I will be sending the patches to this list (unless a better place for this is pointed out) as separate mails, to allow them to have individual responses, but thought I'd better introduce myself first. Thank you all, -- Rodrigo Gallardo GPG-Fingerprint: 7C81 E60C 442E 8FBC D975 2F49 0199 8318 ADC9 BC28

[patch] Move shared library into app specific dir
by Luis Rodrigo Gallardo Cruz 14 Sep '07

14 Sep '07

While upgrading the Debian package for stunnel, I noticed that it installs a shared library into /usr/lib/libstunnel.so This is recommended against by Debian policy, because misguided users might end up linking against it. The following (minor) patch moves the library into /usr/lib/stunnel/ which is a better location for it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Index: stunnel-4.20/src/Makefile.am =================================================================== --- stunnel-4.20.orig/src/Makefile.am 2007-07-24 20:36:58.000000000 -0500 +++ stunnel-4.20/src/Makefile.am 2007-07-24 20:39:04.000000000 -0500 @@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ # Unix shared library -lib_LTLIBRARIES = libstunnel.la +pkglib_LTLIBRARIES = libstunnel.la libstunnel_la_SOURCES = $(shared_sources) libstunnel_la_LDFLAGS = -avoid-version @@ -27,7 +27,7 @@ # Additional compiler flags -AM_CPPFLAGS = -DLIBDIR='"$(libdir)"' -DCONFDIR='"$(sysconfdir)/stunnel"' -DPIDFILE='"$(prefix)/var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid"' +AM_CPPFLAGS = -DLIBDIR='"$(pkglibdir)"' -DCONFDIR='"$(sysconfdir)/stunnel"' -DPIDFILE='"$(prefix)/var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid"' # Win32 executable ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Rodrigo Gallardo GPG-Fingerprint: 7C81 E60C 442E 8FBC D975 2F49 0199 8318 ADC9 BC28

Short of ripping the certificate out of the stunnel.pem file that I created using the command openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -config stunnel.cnf -out stunnel.pem -keyout stunnel.pem what are the steps to getting that holy grail with a 'cer' extension?

certificates, openssl and stunnel on windows
by David Schulberg 12 Sep '07

Hi All, Without wishing to sound naïve I find this whole subject area to be extraordinarily riddled with cryptic explanations of how to configure stunnel to work with a key and certificate. Using openssl I have generated a file including RSA private key and certificate which stunnel running as a server happily digests. Now I want to create the cer file that Windows will happily digest on the client side. Short of ripping the certificate out of the stunnel.pem file that I created using the command openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -config stunnel.cnf -out stunnel.pem -keyout stunnel.pem what are the steps to getting that holy grail with a 'cer' extension? Please educate David
