SNI and some troubles solving

Hi All, At first I would like to thank Marzena Trojnara for the useful program! Occurrence of support SNI has especially interest. I have decided to use the given possibility, but have detect pair of bugs which has independently successfully solved. To begin with I dump part of my config: [virtual_server] accept = 443 connect = localhost:1081 cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/alexCA.crt key = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/alexCA.key ; need peer verification for default access verify = 2 CAfile = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/alexCA.crt ; use restricted access form some target services [socks5] sni = virtual_server:localhost sni = virtual_server:89.250.5.185 sni = virtual_server:127.0.0.1 sni = virtual_server:server cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/alexCA.crt key = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/alexCA.key verify = 2 CAfile = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/alexCA.crt connect = localhost:1081 ; public service [dreamhub_ru] sni = virtual_server:dreamhub.ru sni = virtual_server:pad.dreamhub.ru cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/dreamhub.cer key = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/dreamhub.pem connect = localhost:80 I want to use stunnel on 443rd port for ssl-socks5 service with peer certificates verification and use public https web-service (https://dreamhub.ru). And so it has appeared that value for "verify" are always used from global section (in my case [virtual_server]), and values of "verify" parameters from virtual services sections aren't used. Problem it has appeared that in the SNI check callback static int servername_cb(SSL *ssl, int *ad, void *arg) ... for(list=section->servername_list_head; list; list=list->next) if(!strcasecmp(servername, list->servername)) { c=SSL_get_ex_data(ssl, cli_index); c->opt=list->opt; SSL_set_SSL_CTX(ssl, c->opt->ctx); s_log(LOG_NOTICE, "SNI: switched to section %s", c->opt->servname); SSL_set_SSL_CTX(ssl, c->opt->ctx); does not copy ctx->verify_mode (SSL*)s->verify_mode=ctx->verify_mode; It has been solved by explicit calling SSL_set_verify *** ctx.c 2011-09-07 14:43:50.000000000 +0400 --- ctx.c_patched 2011-09-10 01:12:48.000000000 +0400 *************** *** 156,161 **** --- 156,162 ---- c=SSL_get_ex_data(ssl, cli_index); c->opt=list->opt; SSL_set_SSL_CTX(ssl, c->opt->ctx); + SSL_set_verify(ssl, SSL_CTX_get_verify_mode(c->opt->ctx), +NULL); s_log(LOG_NOTICE, "SNI: switched to section %s", c->opt->servname); #ifdef USE_LIBWRAP The second moment concerns uses stunnel as client through HTTPS a proxy (protocol=connect).

SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert internal error
by Andrew Heuneman 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

Hello, We recently implemented Stunnel on Centos 5.6 for ssl offloading for our java application. The application has applets to communicate java objects over https to a tomcat server on the server side. We have it setup in front of our Alteon/Radware load balancer. This hardware load balancer is capable of ssl load balancing, but has produced a very specific packet reset that only presents itself in ssl processing. We decided to implement Stunnel in front of this load balancer to fix this problem. Ssl offloading was working great with Stunnel until we ran into Java 7. if I run any version of our applets on java 6 they work. If i run java 7 they do not work. I have tried googling and looking for this error but I have only found some references to SNI... is this correct? Is there anything I can do. Please forgive me if i have omitted any details I will be more than happy to include a packet capture or other details if needed.

Internal error after reload modified server mode section
by Javier 07 Sep '11

07 Sep '11

Hi, I didn't found this question, so I hope isn't duplicate. I'm using the latest stable 4.42 version and I'm running Windows 2000 and I want to ask is this is a normal behavior. What is happening is that, after change the server section in the config file (the rest are all client mode), if it has been any connection to that server (and only if it has been a connection), when I reload the modified conf, it gives...: INTERNAL ERROR: get_alloc_list_ptr: Bad magic str_stats: 380 block(s), 96684 byte(s) This happens after no errors in the load (except for DH being hardcoded), SSL context initialized Configuration successful after open every service (clients and server) and then, after the error, closes every service. Trying to reload the conf, doesn't nothing, just stunnel hangs (is not responding to reloads). The only way to restart all is to close stunnel and reopen. Then, the configuration is accepted without problems and works perfectly. This happens, as I said, after modify the conf file and if it was a connection. The section is related to a local test server, where I modify the IP and/or ports where to accept and where to connect. As general options I have: debug = debug delay = yes And the server section: [mySSL] client = no cert = mytestpem.pem accept = 127.0.0.1:443 connect = 127.0.0.1:80 What I'm doing wrong? Is the normal behavior? Is it a new bug? Regards, Javier.

Compiling Stunnel For Windows
by Albert 05 Sep '11

05 Sep '11

Hi, I want to compile stunnel for windows, to include the XMPP patch (that I managed to apply cleanly to the current stunnel code) that I saw on the mailing list earlier as I need to get it to connect to a SSL only server in client mode. I followed the instructions in the Install.w32 file 1) apt-get install gcc-mingw32 - Worked fine with no issues 2) Download the recent zlib from http://www.zlib.net/ , Update the following definitions in win32/Makefile.gcc file: etc *snip* Worked fine as far as I can tell 3) Download the recent OpenSSL in unpack it to /usr/src/ directory., cd /usr/src && tar zvxf ~/openssl-(version).tar.gz I got OpenSSL 1.0.0d 4) Build OpenSSL with cross_mingw32.sh script. I ran instead ./Configure --cross-compile-prefix=i586-mingw32msvc- mingw shared zlib-dynamic && make it seems to have worked fine 5) Download and unpack stunnel-(version).tar.gz. -got stunnel 4.42 6) Configure stunnel. cd stunnel-(version) && ./configure --with-ssl=/path/to/openssl-(version) This step worked fine 7) Build windows executable. cd src && make stunnel.exe The first few compile steps work fine, but I get stuck on: ...i586-mingw32msvc/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypto.dll I did a few hours of troubleshooting and trying to move a few files around but couldn't find crypto.dll anywhere I'm running a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.04 in a VM if that makes any difference. Help would be greatly appreciated :) Thanks, Albert

Changing the secure tunnel 'encryption' method ....
by VANDOOREN, Pascal 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

Hello Everyone, I have a question, Why use you a certificate and not a hash AES, or other crypting algorithm to make a secure tunnel ? Because i use not a validate cert and i can only generate a cert valid for maximum 1year ... In the config file you can let the choice to use the cert or hash .. It's only a idea Kind regards Pascal -- This e-mail is confidential.

stunnel : binding in ipv6+ipv4 : problem
by Guylhem Aznar 27 Aug '11

27 Aug '11

Hello I have a problem with stunnel : I just don't know how to specify 2 different port forwarding, one for all ipv4 connections to port 443, the other for all ipv6 connections. Either one seem to work, but I can't have both at the same time. In my /etc/hosts : 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1 localhost6 0.0.0.0 listenall4 :: listenall6 In my stunnel.conf: [sslh] accept = listenall4:443 connect = 127.0.0.1:444 TIMEOUTclose = 0 [ssl6] accept = listenall6:443 connect = 6.guylhem.org:80 TIMEOUTclose = 0 I have read that linux can block ipv6 sockets if the ipv4 socket is created first, but here the order doesn't change anything. I though that stunnel was ipv6 capable, but apparently it doesn't play well with ipv4 on the same port. So I tried to remove one of the listenall : the listenall4 is important, but listenall6 is not. Yet giving a AAAA only host like 6.guylhem.org does not help - even if it goes before the listenall4. So I'm stuck. Has anyone patched stunnel for such a situation? Guylhem

stunnel4 tcp_nodelay
by Madhu R 21 Aug '11

21 Aug '11

Hi, We are using stunnel in order to tunnel http proxy traffic. Is it better in this case to turn on Nagle's algo? I have tried to set socket=l:TCP_NODELAY=0 and socket=r:TCP_NODELAY=0 in the global config, but when I look at debug log it keeps saying option tcp_nodelay is set on local and remote socket. Is this a bug, or is there a different way of turning off tcp_nodelay (since I understand this is on by default now) Regds

Hi All, Sorry if this has been asked and answered. Saw the security warning about Stunnel 4.40 and 4.41 at http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/49254/info Are older version vulnerable as well or just those two specific versions?

centos 6 - stunnel 4.42 unusable (libssl trap divide error) in FIPS mode (default)
by draeath 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

I just finished building and configuring stunnel 4.42 on my x86_64 CentOS6 box. It appears to run, but not long into the SSL connection stunnel dies. Log info below. This only happens if I do NOT specify --disable-fips during ./configure (as it enables FIPS by default). I assume this is because FIPS compliancy requires a key to have a passphrase, which my key does not have?

When X-FORWARDED-FOR for Stunnel ?
by Elodie BOSSIER 19 Aug '11

19 Aug '11

Greetings, Why you don't implement X-FORWARDED-FOR into stunnel ? I have found this patch : http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/patches/stunnel-4.32-xforwarded-for.diff but this on is to much old, i'm with stunnel 4.41 and i can't go to 4.32 because i need SNI, implemented since 4.38 I have attempt to modify the patch to match with the current version, in begining it's ok but not after, all line code have changed and i'm not developer. X-FORWARDED-FOR is very important and exist on mostly all the frontend web and usuable by all the web server. Someone told me to switch to Nginx because X-FORWARDED-FOR don't exist in Stunnel ... I would like stay on Stunnel because it's only a light tunnel. The patch have only 219 lines, could you help me please to addapt it to the version 4.41 and/or add this feature into Stunnel please ? This is the "manual" to apply the patch : http://www.buro9.com/blog/2009/12/07/installing-haproxy-load-balance-http-a… Just need to add "xforwardedfor=yes" into your config file and should be OK. With this feature, I won't have need to "play" with this (censured) of transparent = source, iptables rules, tcpdump and root exec ... Thanks so much ... Elodie.

stunnel 4.42 released
by Michal Trojnara 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Dear Users, I have released version 4.42 of stunnel. This is a security bugfix release. Upgrade is highly recommended! The ChangeLog entry: Version 4.42, 2011.08.18, urgency: HIGH: * New features - New verify level 0 to request and ignore peer certificate. This feature is useful with the new Windows GUI menu to save cached peer certificate chains, as SSL client certificates are not sent by default. - Manual page has been updated. - Removed support for changing Windows Service name with "service" option. * Bugfixes - Fixed a heap corruption vulnerability in versions 4.40 and 4.41. It may possibly be leveraged to perform DoS or remote code execution attacks. - The -quiet commandline option was applied to *all* message boxes. - Silent install (/S option) no longer attempts to create stunnel.pem. Home page: http://www.stunnel.org/ Download: ftp://ftp.stunnel.org/stunnel/ SHA-256 hash for stunnel-4.42.tar.gz: d33c407bfc4f58070e818081bd082c38f91cab7691ccbb794da63143c535de3b Best regards, Mike

stunnel transparent mode
by Julian D. Seifert 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Hi List, I have a little issue trying to get stunnel running for encapsulating an existing service with SSL. We are running a really old legacy ircd service and would like to provide SSL for the users without having to actually hack that into the really old code base. (Yes we could just use another more modern software but let's just say there are "political" reasons as to why this is not an option) For an ircd we need transparency as in "the ircd should think the connection is not coming from localhost") ANYWAY... so I am working with stunnel 4.39 right now. First a question if I understand it correctly how stunnel will work. I have the ircd running on IP1:6667. I created a service section like this. [ircd] accept = 7000 connect = 6667 transparent = source (And applied the iptables/routing related stuff mentioned in the documentation) Should this already work? Will stunnel "manipulate" packets so that the IRCD "sees" connections from the Peers IP's? And will the Answers the ircd sends to the peers get "intercepted" by stunnel so it can "remanipulate" the answers into the SSL connection? If I try it like I get "local_bind (original port): Cannot assign requested address (99) stunnel" and clients get connection abort. Or is this what "transparent = both" is for? With 4.39 I had an issue trying to use "transparent = both". Stunnel always displayed an error message saying "Each service must define two endpoints" (more or less). I got it to compile by commenting out the one line in options.c causing the error... #### snip #### } else { /* standalone mode checks */ if((unsigned int)section->option.accept + (unsigned int)section->option.program + (unsigned int)section->option.remote + (unsigned int)section->option.sni #ifndef USE_WIN32 + (unsigned int)section->option.transparent_dst #endif /* USE_WIN32 */ !=2) { section_error(last_line, section->servname, "Each service must define two endpoints"); return 0; } ### snap ### Commented out the line within the ifndef. Anyway... I hope somebody can clarify for me how stunnel works and what transparent mode is the one I need. (I want to transparently provide the ircd service with connections so it seems they are directly from the peers and not from stunnel(localhost)) regards, Julian Seifert -- I hate mondays...

Sending "LOGOUT" when using StartTLS offloading?
by Markus Borst 17 Aug '11

17 Aug '11

I have to cope with a very unusual imap server behavior, but maybe stunnel can help me: Can stunnel send an imap command ("XX LOGOUT"), just before closing the tcp session? Setup: I use stunnel for SSL/TLS offloading, both via extra port (993) and StartTLS emulation (143). Our imap server (Mercury) has a very peculiar feature: If a tcp connection is closed without properly closing the imap session first (LOGOUT), the server discards certain attributes, specifically, it "forgets" all deletions since last logout. Since many imap clients just tear down the connection in certain cases (for example Thunderbird going into offline mode, many webmailers or stunnel reaching it's "TIMEOUTidle"), this causes mails to be undeleted. We currently use an older version of the mailserver, since only the newest is broken. Needless to say, this does not go well with our users. A fixed version of the imap server may never come, so, until we can switch all users to a new mail system: Is it possible to use stunnel to send an additional imap command before closing the tcp connection (something like "999 LOGOUT")? The command should be sent no matter why the connection is closed, either because the client closed it, a timeout is reached or stunnel is unloaded. If the connection is already cleanly logged out, this doesn't matter, in all other situations it would help. Would it be possible to send such a command, or could this be added as a new feature?

Stunnel and CryptoAPI
by ratmahat＠hush.ai 15 Aug '11

15 Aug '11

Hello everyone! I have an interesting question, which i didn't find any answer to after several searches. 1. What if I want to enable client verification with client certificate provided by smart card? Is it possible? 2. Does stunnel has the capability to access Windows certificate store in order to verificate the client certificate with the CA in the store? If anyone ever dealt with this, I'd really appreciate this. Thanks, Rat.

Odd stunnel problem
by Tristan Schmelcher 09 Aug '11

09 Aug '11

My company uses stunnel on a telecom product and we have run into a strange problem. One of our customers sees an issue every couple weeks where the stunnel process becomes busted. Attempts to establish a connection through stunnel to any host hang indefinitely. Interface stats indicate that stunnel sends and receives a flurry of packets--as if a TLS connection was successfully established--but the local plaintext socket connection to stunnel never passes data. For example, if attempting to run telnet over stunnel, the telnet client just sits there and doesn't write anything to the terminal. During this time the network is otherwise functioning fine. Unfortunately nothing is logged by stunnel when this happens and we haven't been able to reproduce the problem in a controlled environment. Does anyone have any ideas what might be happening? We currently use stunnel 4.35 with debug = warning, sslVersion = TLSv1, and verify = 2.

The tray icon options "Edit stunnel.conf" and "Reload stunnel.conf" do not find the conf file, and the option "Manual" has no effect. At program start Stunnel finds the Conf file without problems (start link: "drive1/path1/stunnel.exe drive2/path2/stunnel.conf"). Greetings seb

Hi Ludolf , Sorry for my previous typing mistake , There is *no* firewall rules between any of my 3 servers My problem is when I open webmail with https:// and compose any email and click on send button then page is getting expire and I am getting logout. Kindly note that my other webmail pages with https:// are working properly. Where as with http:// the compose email and send works properly without any problem. That is if I open the webmail vai stunnel https config then only problem comes. So I am searching solution and config option with the same. Let me know if any config info require from my end. I am checking out with the option which you have suggested and will reply you shortly.

by jayesh.shinde 08 Aug '11

08 Aug '11

Dear All , I am trying to setup a load balancing under webmail on my test servers. Here is my setup details :-- Total server are 3 servers. i.e ( 2 backend webmail server and 1 front server ) On one server I have installed haproxy-1.4.15.tar.gz + stunnel-4.41.tar.gz with http:// and https:// Another two servers are installed with squirrelmail . my problem:-- ========== 1) When I access the webmail by https://webmail.domain.com and compose any email and click on send button , the page is getting expire and I am getting log out from webmail. In Firefox there is no error on browser , where as in internet explorer I am getting below error with popup window :-- *Error Popup* :-- ============ "do you want to view only the webpage content that was deliver securely. This webpage contain the content that will not be delivered using the secure HTTPS connection, which could compromise the security of entire webpage." Where as if I check with http://webmail.domain.com , then the mail compose and send work properly. Here is the stunnel.conf :-- =================== [root@jayesh ~]# cat /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf cert=/opt/ssl/ssl.key/mail_domain_com.crt key=/opt/ssl/ssl.key/domain.key setuid=stunnel setgid=stunnel pid=/var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid output = /var/log/stunnel.log debug = 7 socket=l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket=r:TCP_NODELAY=1 [https] accept=192.168.30.200:443 connect=192.168.30.200:81 TIMEOUTclose = 0 session = 600 TIMEOUTbusy = 600 TIMEOUTclose = 300 TIMEOUTconnect = 600 I checked by defining the TIMEOUTs but I am not able to figure out why the page is getting expire and I am getting logout ? There is firewall rule between any servers. Please suggest me and guide on this issue. I am stuck here. Regards Jayesh Shinde

anyone got a port for android?
by Jason Haar 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hi there Exchange email doesn't work on Android for us because we have a requirement for using client certs to protect the ActiveSync over HTTPS transactions. If I had stunnel, I could sync with localhost and stunnel could do the client cert-foo.... So does anyone know of a working stunnel implementation for Android (or even something else that does the same job?) Thanks -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.

Hi, I just upgrade stunner on a FreeBSD server from 4.35 to 4.41 using the ports, I restarted the server and notice that stunnel was not listen to any port, I had to manually restart it so it could work again.

stunnel OK without "transparent = source", with = timeout problem
by Elodie BOSSIER 03 Aug '11

03 Aug '11

Greetings again, Thanks so much to have updated the manual about SNI, my stunel works correctly. But i have a tiny problem, when i visit my webserver, the SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] with PHP isn't the ip adress of the visitor but the IP of the stunnel. I have read the manual about this transparent proxy and i don't sucess with the configuration. This is my config file : pid = /stunnel.pid options = NO_SSLv2 transparent = source [virtual] accept = 443 cert = /usr/local/openssl/etc/CERTIFICATES/www.franceserv.fr_cert.cert key = /usr/local/openssl/etc/PRIVATE_KEYS/www.franceserv.fr_key.pem connect = www.franceserv.fr:80 [sni1] sni = virtual:elodie.franceserv.com cert = /etc/ssl-fsh/cert-elodie.franceserv.com.pem key = /etc/ssl-fsh/key-franceserv.key connect = elodie.franceserv.com:80 [sni2] sni = virtual:befun.franceserv.com cert = /etc/ssl-fsh/cert-befun.franceserv.com.pem key = /etc/ssl-fsh/key-franceserv.key connect = befun.franceserv.com:80 It's don't work, i have a timeout with my browser. With iptables, i have set this : iptables -t mangle -N DIVERT iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -p tcp -m socket -j DIVERT iptables -t mangle -A DIVERT -j MARK --set-mark 1 iptables -t mangle -A DIVERT -j ACCEPT ip rule add fwmark 1 lookup 100 ip route add local 0.0.0.0/0 dev lo table 100 echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/lo/rp_filter echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward My stunnel is on the server 192.168.0.20 and the webserver on 192.168.0.2 I try to follow the help of http://www.stunnel.org/static/stunnel.html#service_level_options with : transparent = none | source | destination | both (Unix only) Could you tell me what i make wrong please ?

DH parameters
by yyy 30 Jul '11

30 Jul '11

Hello! How to specify custom DH parameters? There is an option for specifying ECDH curve (curve option), but not for ordinary DH. Searching man page for "DH" did not yield anything. Searching this list archive for "DH paramaeters" found only some default error messages.

Issue with -quiet option (Windows 2000 Server SP4)
by rtr purchase 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Hello, Thank you for STunnel. I've been using BLAT command line mailer for years at a client's site to send system status messages to me. Recently the client switched to ATT's SSL protected email. Blat does not support SSL. STunnel to the rescue. I started with ver. 4.39. I wanted to start and stop the STUNNEL service via script commands but found that the -quiet switch did not suppress the OK message box consistently. This naturally stopped the script from continuing. This was true of both the -start and -stop functions but was more of an issue with the -stop function. While looking through the documentation to see what I might be doing wrong, I saw that 4.40 was released (the day after I downloaded 4.39). 4.40 has the same issue with the -quiet switch but the addition of the -exit switch allowed me to start and stop STUNNEL without running it as a service. Great timing! I had tested my scripts using a Windows 7 machine where they functioned as expected. It was only when I moved them to the client's Windows 2000 Server (SP4) that this issue appeared.

misconfiguration of transparent proxy
by Marco Strullato 19 Jul '11

19 Jul '11

Hi all, is there any way to use stunnel to proxy a connection without using encryption? I have an application that is listening on 0.0.0.0:port but which refuses connection if not coming from localhost:port and that application is reachable only with telnet, with no encryption. I have found a possible configuration that is the following: chroot = /var/run/stunnel/ setuid = nobody setgid = nobody pid = /stunnel.pid socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 debug = 7 output = /var/log/stunnel.log transparent=yes [AppSrv01] accept = 5776 connect = 4776 [AppSrv02] accept = 5777 connect = 4777 but it seems not working: that is the log. 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG5[30375:47349987463360]: stunnel 4.15 on x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG5[30375:47349987463360]: Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG6[30375:47349987463360]: file ulimit = 1024 (can be changed with 'ulimit -n') 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG6[30375:47349987463360]: poll() used - no FD_SETSIZE limit for file descriptors 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG5[30375:47349987463360]: 500 clients allowed 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: FD 4 in non-blocking mode 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: FD 5 in non-blocking mode 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: FD 6 in non-blocking mode 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: AppSrv01 bound to 0.0.0.0:5776 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: FD 7 in non-blocking mode 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: AppSrv02 bound to 0.0.0.0:5777 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30376:47349987463360]: Created pid file /stunnel.pid 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:47349987463360]: AppSrv01 accepted FD=8 from 10.0.1.11:41922 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: AppSrv01 started 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: FD 8 in non-blocking mode 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: TCP_NODELAY option set on local socket 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: FD 9 in non-blocking mode 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: FD 10 in non-blocking mode 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:47349987463360]: Cleaning up the signal pipe 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG6[30376:47349987463360]: Child process 30384 finished with code 0 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: Connection from 10.0.1.11:41922 permitted by libwrap 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG5[30376:1094314304]: AppSrv01 connected from 10.0.1.11:41922 2011.07.06 11:08:30 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization 2011.07.06 11:08:43 LOG3[30376:1094314304]: SSL_accept: 140760FC: error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol 2011.07.06 11:08:43 LOG5[30376:1094314304]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket 2011.07.06 11:08:43 LOG7[30376:1094314304]: AppSrv01 finished (0 left) and from the standard out I get: 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: Snagged 64 random bytes from /home/user/.rnd 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: Wrote 1024 new random bytes to /home/user/.rnd 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG6[30375:47349987463360]: PRNG seeded successfully 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: Certificate: /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: Key file: /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: SSL context initialized for service AppSrv01 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: Certificate: /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: Key file: /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem 2011.07.06 11:08:20 LOG7[30375:47349987463360]: SSL context initialized for service AppSrv02 What happens connecting with telnet is: Trying 10.0.2.140...

stunnel 4.40b1
by Michal Trojnara 17 Jul '11

Dear Users, I have just added a new Windows GUI menu to save peer certificate chains. Please to give it a try and let me know if there are any issues, so I can fix them in the final stunnel 4.40: ftp://ftp.stunnel.org/stunnel/stunnel-4.40b1-installer.exe Another useful function would probably be a replacement for Unix c_rehash script. 8-) I also appreciate your comments are suggestions related to the new functionality.

Windows 7 connection to HTTPS server
by Daniel Pierce 10 Jul '11

10 Jul '11

stunnel user group, Thanks Yucong Sun or your help. I have changed the configuration file values to the values that you recommended. I didn't read the documentation careful enough. [https] accept = 3600 connect = partnerlogin.advancedmd.com <https://partnerlogin.advancedmd.com/practicemanager/xmlrpc/processrequest.a sp> :443 (stopped and started the windows service to get the new configuration) HOWEVER I'm still not getting stunnel to provide the interface to the https web server. I have a http client software which I have tried both GET and POST calls to https://localhost:3600/practicemanager/xmlrpc/processrequest.asp <blocked::https://localhost:3600/practicemanager/xmlrpc/processrequest.asp> Every time the interface comes back with the error "The Connection to the Server was Reset while the Page was Loading" So I decided to try the page using a standard web browser (Firefox and IE) thinking that my client software may have a problem. I opened the browser and entered the address https://localhost:3600/practicemanager/xmlrpc/processrequest.asp <blocked::https://localhost:3600/practicemanager/xmlrpc/processrequest.asp> Got the same results. So I changed the configuration to go to the same web site as gmail with the following configuration. [https] accept = 3600 connect = mail.google.com:443 When I try to open the page with the browser to address https://localhost:3600/mail/?hl=en <blocked::https://localhost:3600/mail/?hl=en&shva=1#inbox> &shva=1#inbox, I get the same error message. NEXT I started WIRESHARK on the network and filtered for packets coming from/to my host computer. When I enter https://localhost:3600/mail/?hl=en <blocked::https://localhost:3600/mail/?hl=en&shva=1#inbox> &shva=1#inbox on the browser. The following details were captured by WIRESHARK.
