need to restart stunnel if stunnel starts before network?
by Zhang Weiwu 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

Hello. One reason to opt for stunnel instead of ssh -L to secure a local non-ssl client is, that if user use stunnel, it can work transparently, start working only when a connection is listened, so user do not have to start ssh-L before using the client and do not have to shut it down after using the client. However these days through the use of NetworkManager, the network interfaces are often not brought up when stunnel started as a system service. Instead, the network interfaces are brought up by users, in case of wifi or wan, after user typed password. I found I have to first start network interfaces, and run /etc/init.d/stunnel restart to prepare to run the insecure client. Is there a way to run in stunnel in such a way it does nothing except listening, and can recover from network restart, which happens from time to time for road warriors like me? Thanks in advance. I didn't find answer on FAQ by the way.

Is PSK supported with openssl-1.0.0-beta3 ?
by anders nilsson 20 Jan '10

20 Jan '10

Hello I am running x64 Linux 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 and installed OpenSSL 1.0.0-beta3 15 Jul 2009 My stunnel -version is: stunnel 4.15 on x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008 I would like to run the ciphers TLS_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA or TLS_PSK_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA and I wonder how I do that. My stunnel.conf contains: ciphers = PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA:PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA and the error I get is: 2009.11.05 11:32:32 LOG3[29268:47461015826624]: SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list: 1410D0B9: error:1410D0B9:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list:no cipher match Do I compile in the latest OpenSSL to stunnel? Isnt it a problem that the stunnel.conf does not even have the syntax to read PSK-key parameters since its most often run with RSA keys. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live: Gör det enklare för dina vänner att se vad du håller på med på Facebook. http://www.microsoft.com/sverige/windows/windowslive/see-it-in-action/socia…

Stunnel and RTMPS
by Nimrod Aviram 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

Hi, I'm currently trying to use rtmps, with Red5 and Stunnel, and it doesn't work with properly signed certificates: When I use a self-signed test certificate, everything works just fine. But when I use a proper certificate (2048 bits from godaddy.com, if that matters), NetConnection.connect just doesn't work - the server doesn't get a connection. https stil works though, and the browser treats the certificate as valid, so it's probably not a problem with the certificate. I saw some earlier posts on this problem, does anyone have a solution? Any comments are welcome... thanks, Nimrod

server refuses connection by STARTTLS
by Tsurutani Naoki 10 Jan '10

10 Jan '10

Hi, I want to connect to SMTP server by STARTTLS, from MUA who does not support STARTTLS. However, I cannot connect to the server with recent stunnel. On Windows XP, my stunnel.conf is the following: client=yes debug=notice output=C:\logs\stunnel.log service=stunnel [smtp_server] accept=127.0.0.1:10025 connect=smtp.example.com:587 protocol=smtp stunnel version 4.27 or 4.29 is started as service, by "C:\Network\stunnel\stunnel.exe" -service -install c:\home\turutani\INI\stunnel.conf I cannot connect with OpenSSL distributed via stunnel. Then I changed the OpenSSL DLL, and found that I can connect with OpenSSL older than 0.9.8i, while that newer than 0.9.8j fails. But it works by adding "sslVersion=all" or "sslVersion=SSLv2" to configuration file. I also ran stunnel on FreeBSD, and found the same result about SSL version. Here is a debug level log, with no "sslVersion=" or "sslVersion=SSLv3": 2010.01.08 09:50:06 LOG7[2372:3760]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2010.01.08 09:50:06 LOG7[2372:3760]:

I finally seem to have stunnel up ,and running with Agent ver 2.0 newsreader. I had to do some more research on this, and thru patience, and many config changes I believe stunnel is now supplying SSL for my agent newsreader. Not an easy task for a total windows dummy like me though. Never have got the Linux thing. I guess it is the having to deal with scripts issue continually that scares the hell out of me!! IF anyone needs the procedure in the future for this let me know and I will send it to them! jb

How to setup forte agent to work with stunnel latest version.
by johnnyb mee 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

I have been trying to get stunnel to work with Agent 2.0 newsreader so that I can use SSL from my news server. I have read the faq and gone thru alot of previous posts concerning this and found this one entry suggestion for the stunnel.config file in order to setup SSL to work with Agent which unfortunately has no SSL capabilities at all. It is suggested to use this entry to get both the newserver and client to work thru using stunnel as a proxy server service basically. c:\program files\stunnel -c -d 127.0.0.1:119 -r unlimited.newshosting.com:563 I copied and pasted the entry changing the usenet server to the above, and now I can no longer get stunnel to start at all. I am getting an error message stating I need to check the logfile to determine what is causing the error. The actual logfile error is as follows: 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: PRNG seeded successfully 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Certificate: stunnel.pem 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Certificate loaded 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Key file: stunnel.pem 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Private key loaded 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: SSL context initialized for service pop3s 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Certificate: stunnel.pem 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Certificate loaded 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Key file: stunnel.pem 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: Private key loaded 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG7[3456:1988]: SSL context initialized for service imaps file stunnel.conf line 55: No '=' found 2010.01.02 23:12:59 LOG3[3456:1988]: Server is down As you can ascertain I am no linux expert at all so working with startup scripts such as this is challenging to say the least. Is the entry I pasted into the config file incorrect or not pointing to the right path for the config file directory or what do you think is missing? I am using Windows XP Pro and know that the actual file for the config resides in windows/system32 folder. Any input on this would be very much appreciated and thanks in advance all. jb

Using stunnel instead of SSL API
by Vladimir Stariradev 24 Dec '09

24 Dec '09

Hi Guys, I'm working on a java mobile app (J2ME MIDP 2.0) which connects to a java server, which I created. The java mobile app is an instant messenger. I want to use stunnel to encrypt the communication between the app and the server. At the moment the server runs on my localhost on port 5555 and accepts connections from the mobile device emulator I have running on the same machine. Eventually I want to transfer the mobile app on to my mobile and use it from there. My machine is running the following versions stunnel 4.29 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8l on Windows 7 x64. I have not yet configured a pam or config file but I would like to continue listening on port 5555 with my own certificate (but for now any will do). Will the fact that I'm running both my server and device emulator on one machine mean that it'll bypass stunnel and I'll never know if it works or not? Should I have my mobile app use SecureConnection (SSL encrypted) class? In that case, I'd have to make the server listen for SSL connections too. That would defeat the purpose of stunnel. Help on configuration is welcome. Thanks for reading, I'm looking forward to your replies Vladimir

privileges not dropped before libwrap processes are spawned
by Micah Anderson 21 Dec '09

21 Dec '09

Hi, I recently stumbled on http://mirt.net/pipermail/stunnel-users/2008-May/001977.html which is exactly what I am seeing with version 4.27 of stunnel, namely the daemon is not switching to the setuid/setgid specified in the config before it is spawned. This means that I get 6 processes, 5 run as root with only one (albeit the one lisenting on the specified sockets) dropping privs to the specified user. The follow-up response from Mike was: I'll modify stunnel to delay spawning libwrap processes until privileges are dropped. and indeed, I find in the Changelog file for version 4.25 the following Bugfixes: * Bugfixes - Spawning libwrap processes delayed until privileges are dropped. However, it seems that either this fix either didn't make it in, or it somehow managed to creep its way back out because it is happening in 4.27. Thanks, micah

BBwin hanging windows
by Gregory Wege 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

Hey Guys, We have the following problem: Bbwin is sending traffic to 2 monitoring servers and is encrypted via stunnel. If one of the monitoring servers goes down, the number of ports being used by bbwin client increases to the point where the box is unusable - no more ports available on the windows box being monitored. If we kill the bbwin process, the problem goes away temporarily - after a short period of time, the problem returns. The problem continues even after the failed hobbit server recovers, and only clears up when we kill the bbwin process. * Windows version Server 2003 * bbwin versions 0.11, 0.12 * stunnel version 4.25 * hobbit server version 4.2.2 Output of the stunnel log shows the following error: 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:2460]: New thread created 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:4016]: hobbit_ssl started 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:4016]: FD 356 in non-blocking mode 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:4016]: TCP_NODELAY option set on local socket 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG5[2336:4016]: hobbit_ssl accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:1725 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:4016]: FD 396 in non-blocking mode 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG6[2336:4016]: connect_blocking: connecting 10.132.55.24:1982 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG3[2336:4016]: connect_blocking: connect 10.132.55.24:1982: No buffer space available (WSAENOBUFS) (10055) 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG5[2336:4016]: Connection reset: 0 bytes sent to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket 2009.12.16 06:56:19 LOG7[2336:4016]: hobbit_ssl finished (0 left) Can something be added to my stunnel.conf to prevent this from happening? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Tunnel iPhone - Server
by LoLoVioLo 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Hi all, It is my first post. Sorry if common question but didn't find answer in archives or google. The fact is that I am using an iPhone with a data plan that only allow ports 80 and 443 (http and https). My aim is to be able to use all ports (mail, ftp, msn, etc). The idea is to tunnel all TCP connections between my computer here and my server at home. iPhone <----port-443----> Linux Server <----all-ports----> Internet I know there is alternatives for each service (webmail, webmessenger, etc.) but I think that it is technically possible to have something running that allow using of usual software. I also know that this usage is typically VPN but there is no VPN client for iPhone that allow custom ports and not sure my data plan can route GRE protocol. By the way STunnel was ported to the iPhone. There is some hope. I am not sure Stunnel is the best way to do that and not even sure that Stunnel can do it but hope you can advice. Thanks for your help. LoLoVioLo

Question (simple one I think)
by Reinier van der Gugten 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Question: On the server, port 443 is already in use by a different service. However I require STunnel to communicate also on port 443. I thought, that perhaps I can obtain a second IP address and forward that trafic from the router to port 444 (or any other avail port). Then I can let Stunnel listen to port 444 and thus it would work. The firewall has to translate the 444 back to the 443 when transmitting data ofcourse. Is this the right way to go? Or ca I do this using one and the same IP (but then there would be 2 services listning to the same port right)? Thanks. Reinier

So... my question is has anyone else made a similar change to get the code to compile on AIX 5.3? If not, can you please tell me what configuration options you used to make stunnel work. Thanks for any help you can provide. I am at my wits end here and pretty much my capability in compiling code. Thanks in advance, Geoff

Upgrade From 4.27 to 4.28? Or Wait for Next Version?

Greetings, I've noticed some problems with v4.28 (posted in this group). Is there any compelling reason to upgrade from 4.27 to 4.28? Or, should we wait for the problems in 4.28 to be fixed in a new version and then upgrade? Regards, Jeff

build problem with 4.28 on SLES9 (SSL again)
by Andreas Vetter 27 Nov '09

27 Nov '09

Hi, there is a build problem with 4.28 on a SLES 9. May be similar to the no_ticket problem. Here is the interesting part of build log: options.c: In function `parse_ssl_option': options.c:1714: error: `SSL_OP_NO_QUERY_MTU' undeclared (first use in this function) options.c:1714: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once options.c:1714: error: for each function it appears in.) options.c:1715: error: `SSL_OP_COOKIE_EXCHANGE' undeclared (first use in this function) options.c:1724: error: `SSL_OP_SINGLE_ECDH_USE' undeclared (first use in this function) make[1]: *** [options.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/packages/BUILD/stunnel-4.28/src' any hints? -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Andreas Vetter Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik Fakultaet fuer Physik und Astronomie Universitaet Wuerzburg

problem with -fd option on Linux
by Sorkin, David 21 Nov '09

21 Nov '09

I'd like to report an interesting problem I found that occurs on Linux but not Solaris when using the -fd 0 option to read the stunnel configuration in from stdin. I am using stunnel to establish client tunnels on the fly for one time use by programs such as rsync. The client config file is generated automatically with some dynamic parameters. After the client tunnel is established a client program connects to the specified port on localhost. This works fine on Solaris but on Linux I found that the client program has to be invoked *twice* before it works. My work around is to write the config to a temp file and starting stunnel with the location of the file as its argument instead of writing to its standard input. I am using tcp wrappers to protect the stunnel servers and to limit the connects to the client to localhost. This isn't an issue for me anymore but it took a bit of troubleshooting to figure out. On Solaris I am running the same version of stunnel, openssl, etc... all compiled very similarly. One difference could be iconv but I don't know enough about it to say.

Hello, I have a problem ... on my network i have more than one proxy server, and y use Stunnel for a remote RDP. if my computer is directly connected to internet there is no problem. If i connect my computer on my domain with my proxies servers i'm not able to connect me on RDP to my remote RDP server. Is it possible to indicate my proxy server to user ?

Re: [stunnel-users] stunnel-users Digest, Vol 64, Issue 8
by Michael Wilson 12 Nov '09

12 Nov '09

Thanks Ludholf, Re Q2 - Solved. Re Q1 - Thanks, but I should have been clearer, I wanted an automated solution. My nightly Blat e-mails come from a command line .cmd file. I have recently added a javascript to check if stunnel is active and, if not, start it before my e-mails. Now I would like to create a similar script that, if stunnel is running, stops it after my e-mail. I may just have to use Windows Script Host's Terminate.

Vista questions
by Michael Wilson 11 Nov '09

11 Nov '09

I am running 4.27 on Vista and can successfully start it and use Blat to e-mail via my gmail account using stunnel. However, I have two questions: Q1: I would like to close down stunnel after sending my e-mails. How can I do that on Vista? Q2: Why do I get the following when I enter "stunnel -help" at the command line A window with the heading "Stunnel 4.27 on Win32 (not configured)" that says: Stunnel server is down due to an error. You will need to exit and correct the problem Click OK to see the error log window The error log is: Global options compression = zlib|rle compression type debug = [facility].level (e.g. daemon.info) EGD = path to Entropy Gathering Daemon socket engine = auto|engine_id engineCtrl = cmd[:arg] output = file to append log messages RNDbytes = bytes to read from random seed files RNDfile = path to file with random seed data RNDoverwrite = yes|no overwrite seed datafiles with new random data service = service name socket = a|l|r:option=value[:value] set an option on accept/local/remote socket taskbar = yes|no enable the taskbar icon Service-level options accept = [host:]port accept connections on specified host:port CApath = CA certificate directory for 'verify' option CAfile = CA certificate file for 'verify' option cert = certificate chain ciphers = list of permitted SSL ciphers client = yes|no client mode (remote service uses SSL) connect = [host:]port connect remote host:port CRLpath = CRL directory CRLfile = CRL file delay = yes|no delay DNS lookup for 'connect' option engineNum = number of engine to read the key from failover = rr|prio chose failover strategy ident = username for IDENT (RFC 1413) checking key = certificate private key local = IP address to be used as source for remote connections ocsp = OCSP server URL OCSPflag = OCSP server flags options = SSL option set an SSL option protocol = protocol to negotiate before SSL initialization currently supported: cifs, connect, nntp, pop3, smtp protocolAuthentication = authentication type for protocol negotiations protocolHost = host:port for protocol negotiations protocolPassword = password for protocol negotiations protocolUsername = username for protocol negotiations session = session cache timeout (in seconds) stack = thread stack size (in bytes) sslVersion = all|SSLv2|SSLv3|TLSv1 SSL method TIMEOUTbusy = seconds to wait for expected data TIMEOUTclose = seconds to wait for close_notify (set to 0 for buggy MSIE) TIMEOUTconnect = seconds to connect remote host TIMEOUTidle = seconds to keep an idle connection verify = level of peer certificate verification level 1 - verify peer certificate if present level 2 - require valid peer certificate always level 3 - verify peer with locally installed certificate 2009.11.11 13:03:36 LOG3[5440:5128]: Server is down

Update docs to remove RLE as compression choice
by Joe Kemp 06 Nov '09

06 Nov '09

I just confirmed that RLE compression is not truly implemented in OpenSSL. It would be helpful to remove it from the stunnel docs so people don't think it's an option to compress data. ZLIB is it. And yes I spent a good bit of time last year with Wireshark to determine RLE vs ZLIB compression ratios in stunnel. Shockingly ZLIB was always better... One other note that may be important for some people is that 0.9.7 openssl is not compatible with 0.9.8 with respect to zlib compression. Joe A.

Is PSK supported with openssl-1.0.0-beta3 ?
by anders nilsson 05 Nov '09

Hello I am running x64 Linux 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5 and installed OpenSSL 1.0.0-beta3 15 Jul 2009 My stunnel -version is: stunnel 4.15 on x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 01 Jul 2008 I would like to run the ciphers TLS_PSK_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA or TLS_PSK_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA and I wonder how I do that. My stunnel.conf contains: ciphers = PSK-AES128-CBC-SHA:PSK-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA and the error I get is: 2009.11.05 11:32:32 LOG3[29268:47461015826624]: SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list: 1410D0B9: error:1410D0B9:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_set_cipher_list:no cipher match Do I compile in the latest OpenSSL to stunnel? Isnt it a problem that the stunnel.conf does not even have the syntax to read PSK-key parameters since its most often run with RSA keys. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live: Gör det enklare för dina vänner att se vad du håller på med på Facebook. http://www.microsoft.com/sverige/windows/windowslive/see-it-in-action/socia…

Tunneling udp over stunnel
by D-503 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Hi, I'm trying to setup some kind of DNS-encryption with the usage of stunnel: https://www.privacyfoundation.de/wiki/HTTPS-DNS/TLS-DNS . This setup is working but pretty pretty slow. One DNS-request takes really long, about 5-6 seconds! I'm wondering why this happens. On the server is running stunnel 4.22 and on the client stunnel 4.25. The config is as described in the link above. What happens in the logs when I do one dns-request, you can see in the attachments of this mail. Something interesting is, if I do a: dig @localhost google.com it takes 5-6 seconds to finish. But if I execute it, abort it directly and execute it again, I get immediatly an answer! This works reproducably. Have you any idea? Could the error be with open/closed connections or some timeouts in stunnel? greetings D-503

Help with basic stunnel configuration
by Craig Watkinson 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

Hello, I have been trying to enable stunnel on a HPUX server, and whilst I thought it was going to be simple, I have not been able to make it work so far. We have a webserver and due to some pages being hardcoded to port 8080 it can't support SSL without a lot of code changes. As a short term workaround I am trying to use stunnel in server mode to provide a HTTPS interface. I expected this to be a very simple matter of accepting connections on port 443 and connecting to port 8080, but it's not working. We're using an old version of stunnel (4.04) however this is the version bundled with the HPUX OS we have. When stunnel is started there are no errors (log file output below) and netstat shows that a process is listening on port 443, however a browser (tried IE6 and Firefox) doesn't display anything. Connecting to port 8080 shows the application as expected. I have run a wireshark trace at the client end, and it seems that the stunnel server is not responding to the initial "Client Hello" message. Only 3 packets are seen: C->S SYN S->C SYN,ACK C->S SSL Client Hello My guess is that the ssl server is not starting up correctly, however everything looks ok in the logfile, although it might not be completing. Nothing is displayed in the log when I try to connect to port 443. Any help would be much appreciated as I am stuck!

Connections begin resetted
by Roman Medina-Heigl Hernandez 26 Oct '09

26 Oct '09

Hello, Till some recent time, I was using "socat" (http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/) to create a SSL-wrapper (in a way similar to what "stunnel" does). I was using: === socat -ly -d -d openssl-listen:443,bind=X.X.X.X,fork,reuseaddr,cipher=HIGH:3DES:MD5,cert=server-cert.pem,key=server-key.pem,verify=0 tcp4:Y.Y.Y.Y:P === It was working pretty well, without interruptions, although it got some estability problems when passing 1-2 months (server apparently get stuck). So I decided to give a try to "stunnel". I switched to "stunnel" and problems arise... I'm experimenting *very* frequent connection cuts. If I examine daemon.log (I'm using Debian 5), I have: Oct 20 12:06:36 hetzner stunnel: LOG3[3677:3083029392]: SSL_read: 140EC071: error:140EC071:SSL routines:SSL2_READ_INTERNAL:bad mac decode Oct 20 12:06:36 hetzner stunnel: LOG5[3677:3083029392]: Connection reset: 315484 bytes sent to SSL, 50471 bytes sent to socket So it seems stunnel is closing the connection due to a "bad mac decode" error. My environment (client and server) have not changed, I only switched "the transport" (socat -> stunnel). Any idea why is it failing now? Moreover, if I switch back to socat, cuts disappear. Is stunnel buggy? Am I missing some config/tunning at the SSL/socket level? My current config is: roman@hetzner:~$ stunnel4 -sockets Socket option defaults: Option Accept Local Remote OS default SO_DEBUG -- -- -- 0 SO_DONTROUTE -- -- -- 0 SO_KEEPALIVE -- -- -- 0 SO_LINGER -- -- -- 0:0 SO_OOBINLINE -- -- -- 0 SO_RCVBUF -- -- -- 87380 SO_SNDBUF -- -- -- 16384 SO_RCVLOWAT -- -- -- 1 SO_SNDLOWAT -- -- -- 1 SO_RCVTIMEO -- -- -- 0:0 SO_SNDTIMEO -- -- -- 0:0 SO_REUSEADDR 1 -- -- 0 SO_BINDTODEVICE -- -- -- -- IP_TOS -- -- -- 0 IP_TTL -- -- -- 64 TCP_NODELAY -- -- -- 0 root@hetzner:~# stunnel4 -version stunnel 4.22 on i486-pc-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP Global options debug = 5 pid = /var/run/stunnel4.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level options cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+RC4:@STRENGTH key = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem 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 My stunnel.conf is very simple. Apart from cert setup, the tunnel is something like: === [tunelserv] accept = X.X.X:X:443 connect = X.X.X.X:P === Any idea? Thank you in advance. Cheers, -Roman

multiple domain certificates
by Andrew Farmer 23 Oct '09

23 Oct '09

Does stunnel support multiple domain certificates? I am trying to get stunnel to work with multiple domains on a machine that can have only one IP address. (It is an amazon EC2 instance - they do not support multiple IPs per instance) It seems to me that the only way to get this to work is with a multiple domain certificate, which I believe is called a "Unified Communications Certificate". Does stunnel support these? Thank you so much, Andrew -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/multiple-domain-certificates-tp25897355p25897355.html Sent from the Stunnel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

https problems over TLSv1
by Al Gonzalez 20 Oct '09

20 Oct '09

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide... I am trying to talk to a UHF radio (from a PC) over a secure channel, but having some difficulties. Please let me provide just a little background so you know why I’m doing what I’m doing. In the existing system, Internet Explorer (IE) is the client that talks to this radio. When the radio boots up, it sends a webpage over Ethernet to IE and (after the user login), a secure link is established, and the radio can be controlled from IE – the various webpages change as the user maneuvers through the various dropdowns, etc. We’ve been asked to automate this interface now for a production environment. The client is going to be replaced with a PC connected to a great deal of test equipment, and the server will now send XML instead of html to the client. The client is being developed in LabVIEW (from National Instruments) – this has made this task even more challenging. As all of this secure stuff is new to me, I spent many hours just trying to understand the problem(s) and the lingo. As LabVIEW has some limitations in this area, I found that Stunnel was my best option. Using TCP/IP and sending http to the radio (shown below), I’ve been able (in a non-secure mode, without Stunnel) to communicate and get the opening screen (html) to be returned to me (the XML server output is currently being developed) and displayed in a LabVIEW window. GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: 10.4.32.1 Connection: Keep-Alive Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46UgEkJHdvtmQx Credentials: admin:Password I downloaded the binary version of Stunnel.exe (version 4.27 with OpenSSL 0.9.8k dated Mar 2009), then modified the LabVIEW code to call (using a command line approach) Stunnel. In this way, I can’t provide any (dash) options, so it’s completely dependent on the stunnel.conf file. After a number of attempts, I was able to get the client to bind to the server (I think), but I see nothing being returned to me (no html). I must use TLSv1, and ciphers = DES-CBC3-SHA. I’ve seen examples on stunnel.org that show a great deal more handshaking information than I’m seeing, so I’m wondering if I’m missing some detail in my conf file. For example, my log file ends like this 2009.10.16 13:18:49 LOG7[4812:4776]: FD 208 in non-blocking mode 2009.10.16 13:18:49 LOG7[4812:4776]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket 2009.10.16 13:18:49 LOG7[4812:4776]: https bound to 10.4.1.8:443 But the example I mentioned goes on after the “https bound” and adds things like … 2009.08.04 12:15:55 LOG7[16648:22996]: proxy accepted FD=320 from 127.0.0.1:48086 2009.08.04 12:15:55 LOG7[16648:22996]: Creating a new thread 2009.08.04 12:15:55 LOG7[16648:22996]: New thread created 2009.08.04 12:15:55 LOG7[16648:8540]: proxy started 2009.08.04 12:15:55 LOG7[16648:8540]: FD 320 in non-blocking mode 2009.08.04 12:15:55 LOG7[16648:8540]: TCP_NODELAY option set on local socket 2009.08.04 12:15:55 LOG5[16648:8540]: proxy accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:48086 2009.08.04 12:15:55 LOG7[16648:8540]: FD 340 in non-blocking mode 2009.08.04 12:15:55 LOG7[16648:8540]: proxy connecting 89.149.253.125:8080 2009.08.04 12:15:55 LOG7[16648:8540]: connect_wait: waiting 10 seconds 2009.08.04 12:15:56 LOG7[16648:8540]: connect_wait: connected 2009.08.04 12:15:56 LOG5[16648:8540]: proxy connected remote server from 192.168.2.3:48088 2009.08.04 12:15:56 LOG7[16648:8540]: Remote FD=340 initialized 2009.08.04 12:15:56 LOG7[16648:8540]: TCP_NODELAY option set on remote socket 2009.08.04 12:15:56 LOG7[16648:8540]: SSL state (connect): before/connect initialization 2009.08.04 12:15:56 LOG7[16648:8540]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 write client hello A 2009.08.04 12:15:56 LOG7[16648:8540]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 read server hello A . . . 2009.08.04 12:15:57 LOG6[16648:8540]: SSL connected: new session negotiated 2009.08.04 12:15:57 LOG6[16648:8540]: Negotiated ciphers: AES256-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA1 That make’s me think that I’m not quite there yet. I’ve attached my stunnel.conf, my log file, and the http request I’m making (above). I’m hoping you can find some flaws in my conf file that will get me closer. Other than receiving html, I’m not sure how to know that I truly have a secure connection. I’m thinking I should see a little more in my log file, but I’m not sure. The other thing I’m not sure about (as I’ve heard differing thoughts) is whether I have to Encrypt my http commands, or does stunnel take care of that somehow? If I have to encypt, how would I go about doing this? Also, (and I’m getting ahead of myself) do I have to open and close a session every time I want to talk, or do I somehow leave the channel open? I’ve read about Session Resumption, but I’m not sure if that is something I need to setup in the conf file, or if that can even be controlled by Stunnel.

MySQL replication with stunnel, connection closed after some time
by Marcel Kirsch 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

Hello, I have a problem regarding stunnel and MySQL replication. I use replication to keep our database synchronous with a second database, which stands in our building. The secure connection via stunnel works and "SHOW SLAVE STATUS;" shows, that the replication is working. Because the master database is rarely used at the moment, sometimes there are no changes (insert, update or delete) made for an hour. Unfortunately it seems that stunnel disconnects the connection between the databases after some time. The client database still thinks that it is connected to the master server, because it still is connected to port 3307 (which is stunnel of course). So now the changes made in the master database are no longer replicated. Is there any way to configure stunnel to keep the connection between the to servers alive even after an hour of zero traffic? I thought that TIMEOUTidle would be the answer to my problem, but it had no effect. I really hope you can help me and thanks for your suggestions in advance. Greetings, Marcel Kirsch This is my current configuration: Client: ; Certificate/key is needed in server mode and optional in client mode cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem key = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem

I think the timeout is caused by the TCP state expired rater than by stunnel. I think enabling TCP keepalives could be an effective workaround: socket = l:SO_KEEPALIVE=1 socket = r:SO_KEEPALIVE=1 The trick is to generate some traffic on an idle connection to convince the network device that this TCP connection is not dead. An alternative solution would be to increase the TCP state timeout on the network device. Best regards, Mike

bind error when specifying hostname

Hi! I'm not sure if this message was sent to the mailing list the first time... I was not subscribed before but I am now. I'm trying to configure stunnel to use a different CERT depending upon the hostname that my server is accessed on. (Same server has multiple hostnames) Is this feature supported? I didn't get very far before running into issues. This configuration works: (so I know nothing else is bound on port 443) [https] accept = 443 ... etc ... This configuration fails: [https] accept = nmw3.com:443 ... etc ... with this error: 2009.10.09 14:49:18 LOG3[31137:3086100144]: Error binding https to 75.101.155.94:443 2009.10.09 14:49:18 LOG3[31137:3086100144]: bind: Cannot assign requested address (99) So I tried a simpler configuration: [https] accept = 127.0.0.1:443 ... etc ... and that fails with this error: 2009.10.09 14:56:28 LOG3[31222:3086722736]: Error binding https to 127.0.0.1:443 2009.10.09 14:56:28 LOG3[31222:3086722736]: bind: Address already in use (98) Appreciate all your help!

Re: [stunnel-users] rewrite Destination: when rewriting Host:
by Brian Hatch 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Sometime near 2007-11-11 00:15 -0500, Marcio Marchini shouted: > Researching online one can see that WebDAV's spec requires that they > check both src and dest URLs for protocol & port. But with some proxies or > SSL fronts like stunnel, only one of the URLs is rewritten, so one goes as > http and the other as https. Here's one person explaining it, much better > than me: http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2006-03/0549.shtml Stunnel doesn't currently have the ability to scan and re-write the plaintext. For HTTP redirects it could possibly be implemented (re-write only the response before ^$, and redirects aren't chunked and don't have content lengths to work with, etc) but you'd still need enough HTTP logic to handle keepalives and such. It's not trivial and not likely. Another option would be to have something already HTTP aware doing the rewriting in between stunnel and subversion. A re-writing proxy. Another option would be to use mod_rewrite in apache to rewrite the urls. But the best way would be to just use SSL inside apache and drop stunnel entirely. -- Brian Hatch The best way to accelerate Systems and a Windows machine is at Security Engineer 9.8 meters per second http://www.ifokr.org/bri/ squared.

Weird verify behaviour using intermediate CAs
by Simon Vallet 05 Oct '09

05 Oct '09

Hi, we're trying to make use of stunnel here for proxy purposes : any certificate-authenticated SSL client connection from the Internet would be forwarded to some internal server. This works fine, but I found some surprising behaviour when verifying client certificates. Consider the following setup, using an intermediate client CA : * RootCA ** UserCA1 *** UserCert1 ** UserCA2 *** UserCert2 To make this work, it seems I only have to include the Root CA certificate in either a CAfile or a directory of trusted certificates. I would have expected to have to include the intermediate CA (which is signing the user certificate), but it seems it is not the case. What worries me is that now *any* end-entity certificate which has been issued by *other* intermediate CAs is accepted as valid, i.e. UserCert2 is accepted as valid, even if I don't include UserCA2 anywhere in the configuration. Is this really the intended behaviour ? If not, what would I be missing ?

Advanced Config Question-
by Dave Fazio 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Group, Need help confirming Stunnel can be configured the following way: I have a server that has 5 local IPs, mapping to 5 public IPs on the outside. For example purposes, my local IPs are "A", "B", "C", "D", and "E"... If I connect to a stunnel port configured to "C", will Stunnel route the request outbound on "C" or will it use "A" outbound? The way I have it configured, it's using "A" apparently, no matter what local stunnel IP I bind my connection to. And help will be greatly appreciated. - Dave Windows Server 2003 64-bit Stunnel as a Service Example Config: [Connection-A] accept = 10.5.12.57:9000 connect = outbound.example.server:145 TIMEOUTidle = 4 [Connection-B] accept = 10.5.12.58:9005 connect = outbound.example.server:145 TIMEOUTidle = 4

SMTP AUTH with stunnel?
by conover＠rahul.net 30 Sep '09

Can stunnel be used for a local smtp server, that does not support upstream SMTP AUTH, to connect to an smtp server that requires it? Thanks, John -- John Conover, conover(a)rahul.net, http://www.johncon.com/
