I was trying to get stunnel working with anonymous ciphers (SSL_DH_anon_WITH_RC4_MD5_128, etc.) from a java based client and found that s_server succeeded while stunnel failed with the "no shared ciphers" message because it has routines to initialize a temporary DH key in the absence of a certificate. Here's a sloppy patch that just borrows those routines from the s_server source code. This is against an older version of stunnel (RHEL4u7 based system), but the latest version also fails without similar patching.

aNULL ciphers
by Brian P Hinz 20 Apr '09

20 Apr '09

Hi, Does stunnel support the use of the aNULL cipher suites? I can't seem to make it work, stunnel just fails with a "no shared ciphers" message. I don't think that the problem is with openssl or the client, since when I test it with s_server the handshake completes. Thanks, -brian

Issue resolving path to .conf using DFS and changing from "by name" to "by IP address"
by Peterson, Stephen 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

We use stunnel 4.20 and encountered a problem today and hope someone may be able to provide some insight to a solution. Our client machines are all Windows XP machines with stunnel started as a service. Those installs of stunnel have the path to the .conf as part of the path to the executable. The path to the .conf uses a DFS share. Our network administrator changed our DFS share from "by name" to "by IP address" and then the client services could not resolve the location of the .conf file when the services started on the next start up of client machines. Has anyone encountered this before and what did you do to fix it? Thanks for any assistance. Stephen

error during multithreaded operation
by Dale Kingsbury 13 Apr '09

13 Apr '09

OS: Windows 2003 SP2 SDK: 2003 R2 SDK We have a multithreaded application that uses a REST-style interface to an SSL-enabled UNIX box that only uses AES. I tried using WinHTTP, but unfortunately, AES is broken in the 2003 version of WinHTTP (confirmed by M$). SO, I hook up stunnel, which works fine when I only start one thread, but if I use more than 1 thread, I get the following error in the stunnel.log. Note that the error is on thread 7140, and the connection is immediately closed. I have retry logic that re-starts failed threads, and the restarted thread works the second time. (of course, the first has finished, so it is essentially running by itself.) The other item of interest is that each thread is sending about 500,000 bytes of data in chunks of 16,000 bytes, and my trace shows that it usually fails after having written more than 100,000 bytes successfully.

I've downloaded and installed the GUI version, "Process Explorer", on a test machine. I'm pleasantly surprised at its utility and light impact on system resources. One more question please: Will the Win32 binaries at the link you provided <ftp://stunnel.mirt.net/stunnel> keep up fairly closely with the latest OpenSSL releases? With OpenSSL so widely used it is constantly being evaluated for vulnerabilities. When they're found, it is patched quickly but dependent applications are sometimes slow to incorporate patched versions. Thanks again for your excellent help. ./Cal

Thank you Guy! I'll try the Win32 binaries and SSL libraries on a test machine. Do these SSL libraries still require "MSVCR90.dll" from the "Visual C++ Redistributables"?

OpenSSL Vulnerabilities
by Cal Webster 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Will there be a security update of stunnel to address vulnerabilities outlined in CVE-2009-0590, CVE-2009-0591, and CVE-2009-0789? Alternatively, will stunnel use updated OpenSSL libraries on the host? It appears that this is true on Fedora RPM packages. For Example: ldd stunnel: ------------ libssl.so.7 => /lib64/libssl.so.7 (0x0000000006a3c000) libcrypto.so.7 => /lib64/libcrypto.so.7 (0x0000000007954000) ------------ rpm -q --requires stunnel ----------------------------------------- ... libcrypto.so.7 ... libssl.so.7 ... ----------------------------------------- rpm -ql openssl | egrep 'libcrypto.so.7|libssl.so.7' ----------------------------------------- /lib/libcrypto.so.7 /lib/libssl.so.7 ----------------------------------------- However, I don't know how to determine whether the same dependency works with Win32 dll's. For example, could we install "Win32 OpenSSL v0.9.8k Light" from the below link to resolve the vulnerabilities? http://www.slproweb.com/download/Win32OpenSSL_Light-0_9_8k.exe The description says that it "Installs the most commonly used essentials of Win32 OpenSSL v0.9.8k" but it doesn't say exactly what. Thanks for any insights or suggestions. Cal Webster

It's not really a bug. It's rather an inherent property of chrooted environments. They often require some files and/or devices to work properly. Pozdrowienia z Polski, Mike

Updating OpenSSL used by stunnel
by Peter Droop 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hi, I am running stunnel 4.25 with openssl 0.9.8h on Windows 2003 Server. There are some security updates out for openssl, that are not available on stunnel.org. Can I update openssl by just replacing libeay32.dll and libssl32.dll in the stunnel installation directory? I downloaded the dlls from http://www.slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html. Thanks, Peter

GPL patches
by Michal Trojnara 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Dear Users, I've just uploaded some patches sent to stunnel-users list over the years to ftp://stunnel.mirt.net/stunnel/contrib/. Please remember my policy is *not* to include any GPL code into the official stunnel distribution. If you're brave you're free to apply the patches yourself, or even create a fork of stunnel with some additional functionality. Just be aware there were already some security vulnerabilities (including remote code execution) discovered in the 3rd party stunnel patches. For this reason I also don't recommend stunnel package/port maintainers to include any 3rd party code with stunnel. Best regards, Mike

Can't get NTLM authentication to work with proxy connect.

Hi there, My stunnel client is on an Active Directory-authenticated XP workstation, which needs to connect via a web proxy that authenticates using NTLM. I populated my login details in protocolUsername and protocolPassword, but the connection just dies when it reaches the proxy server.

SSL CTX use RSA Private Key error

stunnel 4.26 MS SQL connetion - works on Vista, not on XP
by zervakos 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

Greetings, I was wondering if anyone's come across anything like this. I want to encrypt connections for MS SQL Server 2008 Express from a Windows XP client to a Windows 2003 Server. Following these instructions: http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1677 I was able to configure encrypted connections by pointing SQL Server Management Studio to 127.0.0.1 on _either_ XP or Vista and then that gets tunneled over to the Windows 2003 Server running SQL Server 2008 Express. I can browse the database tables, etc. Now the problem. I have users that make use of a thin client that connects directly to the SQL Server. It has one config file that I've pointed to 127.0.0.1. When I run this thin client on Vista, it works great, however, when running it on XP, stunnel tries to connect, but then gives up after several attempts. Here's what I see in the server log before connecting: 2009.03.23 12:26:59 LOG7[284564:274684]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2009.03.23 12:26:59 LOG7[284564:274684]: PRNG seeded

From what I can tell, the combination of XP, the thin client and stunnel does not work. The thin client does work on XP when I do not use stunnel, but I need to have the connection encrypted.

Re: [stunnel-users] Using stunnel in a box having http client and http server.
by Joe Lau 23 Mar '09

So, my understanding is that I will need one stunnel for each remote web server that my http client is going to connnect to. For example if my http client want to connect to 3 remote web servers. I will need to setup the folllowing stunnels: Remote https Web Server #1 <------------- Stunnel #1 <---------- http client (http://localhost:81) (port 81) Remote https Web Server #1 <------------- Stunnel #2 <---------- http client (http://localhost:82) (port 82) Remote https Web Server #1 <------------- Stunnel #3 <---------- http client (http://localhost:83) (port 83) But I will need only one stunnel for my http server as follow: Remote https client #1 ------------+-----> Stunnel --------------- http server | (port 443) (port 80) Remote https client #2 ------------+ | ..... | | Remote https client #N-------------+ Is the following config file correct for my http server stunnel? client=no accept=443 connect=localhost:80 Thank you! -Joe -----Original Message----- From: Christophe Nanteuil [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 23, 2009 3:19 AM To: Joe Lau Cc: stunnel-users(a)mirt.net Subject: Re: [stunnel-users] Using stunnel in a box having http client and http server. 2009/3/20 Joe Lau <Jlau(a)extremenetworks.com>: > > Hello, Hello, > I am new to this list. > > I am planning to use stunnel on my box which has a http client and http server running on it. > I will need two stunnel instances, one for the http client and one for the http server respectively.

Hello, I am new to this list. I am planning to use stunnel on my box which has a http client and http server running on it. I will need two stunnel instances, one for the http client and one for the http server respectively. For my http client, my stunnel config file looks like this: client=yes accept=80 connect=remote_web_server:443 For my http server, my stunnel config file looks like this: client=no accept=443 The problem I am facing is now I have two programs (i.e. 1) stunnel for http client and 2) http server) listening to the same port 80. How do I resolve this conflict? Thank you very much for the help.

Is this possible? Stunnel FIPS mode with rdesktop to secured Microsoft terminal server
by David W Blaine 16 Mar '09

16 Mar '09

Hi list, I was wondering if this solution is possible? Linux Linux Windows Server 2003 rdesktop ----> Stunnel client ------> Terminal Server no enc FIPS mode FIPS mode I know there is doco's about how to setup a Stunnel using client and server setups on either side but Windows admins here are unlikely to install Stunnel on their side. They have enabled FIPS mode on their Windows servers and disconnected all the Linux/UNIX admins from their Terminal Server. So I was wondering if I could get away with a client only solution? Dave

persistent SSL connection
by Dorai Ashok 16 Mar '09

16 Mar '09

Hi all, I was able to setup stunnel between two hosts successfully but the only problem I am facing is that, the SSL connection between the two hosts is not persistent. For every connection I make to the stunnel client, a new SSL connection is established by the stunnel client to the stunnel server. Is there a configuration variable in stunnel which can make the SSL connection between stunnel client and server persistent ? Thanks, -Dorai.

Unless, of course, you are trying to communicate with a third-party product that speaks SSL - if either the client or the server is not under your control, there's no way to make them use multiplexed SSH connections instead of SSL :) But if it's just stunnel on both sides, then yes, SSH tunneling may be a better choice for multiplexing, although it has its own problems - most often related to connection keepalive, especially if there is some kind of firewalling gateway on the path.

Re: [stunnel-users] Configuring stunnel to use p12 and p7b in client mode
by Eduard Witteveen 14 Mar '09

14 Mar '09

Pierre and List, Thanks for the answer. Maybe i wasn't clear enough in my question: 1 - I have a p12 and p7b file, which work in firefox and iexplore. 2 - I want to setup a tunnel, so the encryption is done by stunnel and not by the browser(so i can 'talk' normal http for soap) Removing the password sounds like a good idea, so i started with this. However, somehow my openssl doesnt know the command pkey.

Can stunnel do this?
by Miguel Beccari 13 Mar '09

13 Mar '09

I tried this configuration: client = yes debug = debug cert =/Users/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem [imaps] accept = localhost:143 delay = yes connect = remote:993 and it worked! But if I change "accept = localhost:143" to "accept = localhost:993" it does not work. I need a imaps proxy. Logs does not say anything interesting (SSL accepted: new session negotiated) Thank you all, Miguel

Newbie Question - Moving stunnel to another machine
by Dave Nasralla 13 Mar '09

13 Mar '09

Hi, I'm pretty new to the unix command line and stunnel. I am running Mac OS 10.5 with the latest version of stunnel. I was able to get stunnel up and running on my computer and it is working fine ( - I installed X-Cold, used Darwinports, got it compiled and configured, and launching at bootup). My question is: If I have an identical Machine (same hardware and OS), is there an easy way to move stunnel over to it? I copied the stunnel executable and the configuration file over to the new machine. I ran it from the terminal command line. % /Applications/stunnel /Applications/stunnel.conf The original location on my machine was (/opt/local/bin/stunnel /opt/ local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf) No errors (got the prompt back). But no services start on the configured ports. Am I missing support files? Or am I being dumb to think you can simply copy the program over. I was hoping to not have to jump through the same hoops to get it up and running. Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks, dave naz PS It is a simple configuration to help non SSL Mail clients connect to GMail - no certs involved.

Configuring stunnel to use p12 and p7b in client mode
by Eduard Witteveen 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Hello, I'm trying to get stunnel running on my local system, so it will connect to the remote a host, which requires authentication with this p12 file(with password). I also have the chain of trust which is in the p7b file. The reason why i want to do this, is that the remote host exposes a soap interface by https, and i think it would be a good idea to tunnel the communications with stunnel, so a transparant configuration can be used. Also, this would mean there is no configuration needed for the browser anymore, since it can connect to the localhost instead of to the remoteserver. I've tested the p12(certificate PKCS12?) and (trust chain PKCS7?) files with internet explorer and firefox. They work(i can browse the remotehost), but i still have to enter the password. I've converted the p12 and p7b files into dem files with the following commands: > openssl pkcs12 -in certificate.p12 -out certificate.pem > Enter Import Password: > MAC verified OKK > Enter PEM pass phrase: > Verifying - Enter PEM pass phrase firefox: store as PEM with chain chain.p7b --> chain.pem Config: > key=certificate.pem > CAfile=chain.pem > client=yes > debug=7 > output=stunnel.log > verify=1 > [http] > accept=80 > connect=www.remoteserver.com:443 > TIMEOUTclose=0 Command: > sudo /usr/bin/stunnel4 stunnel.conf Error: > 009.03.11 00:58:10 LOG5[30424:3082909360]: Threading:PTHREAD > SSL:ENGINE > Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP > 2009.03.11 00:58:10 LOG6[30424:3082909360]: file ulimit = 1024 (can be > changed with 'ulimit -n') > 2009.03.11 00:58:10 LOG6[30424:3082909360]: poll() used - no > FD_SETSIZE > limit for file descriptors > 2009.03.11 00:58:10 LOG5[30424:3082909360]: 500 clients allowed > 2009.03.11 00:58:10 LOG7[30424:3082909360]: FD 10 in non-blocking mode > 2009.03.11 00:58:10 LOG7[30424:3082909360]: FD 11 in non-blocking mode > 2009.03.11 00:58:10 LOG7[30424:3082909360]: FD 12 in non-blocking mode > 2009.03.11 00:58:10 LOG7[30424:3082909360]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on > accept socket > 2009.03.11 00:58:10 LOG7[30424:3082909360]: http bound to 0.0.0.0:80 > 2009.03.11 00:58:10 LOG7[30430:3082909360]: Created pid file > /var/run/stunnel4.pid > > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082909360]: http accepted FD=13 from > 127.0.0.1:59793 > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: http started > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: FD 13 in non-blocking mode > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: Waiting for a libwrap > process > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: Acquired libwrap process > #0 > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: Releasing libwrap process > #0 > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: Released libwrap process > #0 > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: http permitted by libwrap > from > 127.0.0.1:59793 > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG5[30430:3082738576]: http accepted connection > from > 127.0.0.1:59793 > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: FD 14 in non-blocking mode > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: http connecting > ${REMOTESERVER_IP}:443 > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: connect_wait: waiting 10 > seconds > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: connect_wait: connected > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG5[30430:3082738576]: http connected remote > server > from 10.0.2.15:38710 > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: Remote FD=14 initialized > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: SSL state (connect): > before/connect initialization > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 > write > client hello A > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 > read > server hello A > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG4[30430:3082738576]: VERIFY ERROR: depth=0, > error=unable to get local issuer certificate: ${UNIQUE NAME} > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: SSL alert (write): fatal: > bad > certificate > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG3[30430:3082738576]: SSL_connect: 14090086: > error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate > verify > failed > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG5[30430:3082738576]: Connection reset: 0 bytes > sent > to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: http finished (0 left) (${UNIQUE NAME} / ${REMOTESERVER_IP} were replaced) Tested by connecting the browser to http://127.0.0.1:80/ How can i get stunnel to redirect http://127.0.0.1:80/ to http://remoteserver:443/ and use the certificate and chain to validate the connection?

Stunnel 4.26 compile issue against openssl 0.9.8j + openssl-fips-1.2
by David W Blaine 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

Hi all, When I compile against OpenSSL 0.9.8j + OpenSSL-FIPS-1.2 module on Centos 4.7, I get an error in client.c: client.o(.text+0x1dd): In function `init_ssl': /tmp/stunnel-4.27/src/client.c:333: undefined reference to `FIPS_set_prng_key' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [stunnel] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/stunnel-4.27/src' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 It seems this call is related to a bug in OpenSSL-FIPS-1.1.1 module according to the comments. Checking the references in the includes for both OpenSSL 0.9.8j and OpenSSL-FIPS-1.2, I found that the call should be "fips_set_prng_key" with 3 arguments (the above requires only 2). So based on the comments, I removed it and I was able to successfully compile and install. Not sure if that is the right thing to do??? Dave

email through clients where no port number defined - like Outlook Express
by Richard Brust 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

A few days ago, sent an email in regards to a CRM program attempting to access GMail where no port number definitions are possible. That email (or part of it) is below, but after a bit more diag, I found that the email client was communicating with stunnel, but was not getting past that to GMail (or stunnel was not getting to GMail, not sure how to tell). I also realized that the settings of this application are similar to Outlook Express - email server defined, but no ability to specify port number. Does anyone have stunnel working with Outlook Express? I have a feeling the stunnel settings for that would be similar to what I need. Thanks, and the original email is below I am attempting to send/receive to GMail through a CRM program (contains email client) called ACT! (http://www.act.com) ACT! only allows server addresses in the program configuration, NOT port numbers. (e.g. smtp.gmail.com or 127.0.0.1 - nothing else) I have configured stunnel 4.26 as such: ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting debug = 7 output = stunnel.log ; Use it for client mode client = yes ; Service-level configuration [pop] accept = localhost:110 connect = pop.gmail.com:995 [smtp] accept = localhost:25 connect = smtp.gmail.com:465 and in ACT as such: SMTP as localhost POP as localhost (also have tried 127.0.0.1, but with no difference).

Stunnel for tunneling all traffic (vpn)
by BS TLC 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

Is it possible to create 2 virtual interfaces, for tunnelling all traffic (vpn)? With ssh program it's quite simple: with the -w option 2 new (tunnel) interfaces are created (for example tun0 and tun1), and it's possible to create a vpn for all type of traffic.

stunnel with libwrap does not disconnect from terminal
by Lars Kruse 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hi, starting with v4.21, stunnel does not disconnect from the terminal anymore. This can cause problems, if the caller does not redirect stdout/stderr to /dev/null. This did not happen with v4.20. The problem disappears, when I use he "--disable-libwrap" configure switch when compiling stunnel. I am running debian testing on i386 with the stunnel4 package 4.22-2. How to reproduce: 1) stunnel config file: setuid = lars pid = /tmp/stunnel.pid [server] connect = 8080 accept = 443 cert = /some/file 2) command line: cat stunnel.conf | stunnel4 -fd 0 3) process list: erker:~/ttt/stunnel/testing/stunnel-4.26# ps -ef| grep stun lars 29599 1 0 13:47 pts/1 00:00:00 src/stunnel -fd 0 lars 29600 1 0 13:47 pts/1 00:00:00 src/stunnel -fd 0 lars 29601 1 0 13:47 pts/1 00:00:00 src/stunnel -fd 0 lars 29602 1 0 13:47 pts/1 00:00:00 src/stunnel -fd 0 lars 29603 1 0 13:47 pts/1 00:00:00 src/stunnel -fd 0 lars 29604 1 0 13:47 ? 00:00:00 src/stunnel -fd 0 4) FDs of spawned processes: erker:~/ttt/stunnel/testing/stunnel-4.26# ls -l /proc/29599/fd lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jan 10 13:50 1 -> /dev/pts/1 lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jan 10 13:47 2 -> /dev/pts/1 lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jan 10 13:50 3 -> socket:[903037] Is this the expected behaviour? I use stunnel in one of my projects (http://cryptonas.org) and it started to hang with v4.22. After redirecting stdout/stderr to /dev/null, the program works again. I assume, that stunnel should take care for stdout/stderr on its own, when started in daemon mode, right? thanks for your great work! Lars

No Tray Icon in XP SP3
by Zepp 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hi all: I am running Stunnel 4.26 in Windows XP SP3. The issue I'm having is that the tray icon is missing when I install and run Stunnel as a service. the program works fine, and it shows up on the process list okay, but no tray icon appears at all. I scanned the help file and saw an option called taskbar which is supposed to be toggled on by default. I added it to the conf file anyway, and it didn't make any difference. The only way I've been able to get the icon to show is to start Stunnel by adding a shortcut to the Startup folder. Is there an option I'm missing? Thanks much! Zepp

Stunnel error
by Reinier van der Gugten 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Hi, I use the STunnel tool to connect to my Ms-SQL database. And so far this works nice. However at one organization I have the following problem: << connect_wait: s_poll_wait timeout>> And the connection fails. Here is the log file and config file. Can you give me any hints how to check where it goes wrong? Thanks.

stunnel hanging (libwrap)
by Ulrich Wisser 11 Feb '09

11 Feb '09

Hi, on my current project I have a strange error. Stunnel will work for months and suddenly stop accepting connections. At other times it will fail after a couple of hours. It doesn't crash. Connections are still accepted, but no SSL negotiation does take place. Please find a log below. It seems to be some problem with libwrap. As you can see in the logs the last usage of libwrap doesn't release libwrap properly. "Released libwrap process" log statement is missing. And after that just everything hangs waiting for libwrap. But why is this happening? Our host.allow and host.deny files are empty. libwrap is supposed to allow everything. Any suggestions are welcome!

stunnel client connecting to host with dynamic dns service
by Adamson H 09 Feb '09

09 Feb '09

Hi, stunnel 4.26 solves a number of issues running on FreeBSD. However, a stunnel client still has a problem reconnecting to a host with dynamic DNS service after the host IP has changed. Stunnel client seems unaware of the host update, pointing the dynamic DNS name to the old outdated IP. In order to get reconnected to the host, I have to create a cron script to detect the IP change and restart stunnel on the stunnel client. My client conf file has the following: [1873] accept = 1873 connect = hostname.dynaip.org:1873 The ip of hostname.dynaip.org changes at a random interval. Please help. Adamosn H

Your understanding is not correct, but similar functionality was re-implemented from scratch. You may consider Reading The Fine Manual at: http://stunnel.mirt.net/static/stunnel.html The relevant part is: protocol = proto application protocol to negotiate SSL currently supported: cifs, connect, imap, nntp, pop3, smtp protocolAuthentication = auth_type authentication type for protocol negotiations currently supported: basic, NTLM Currently authentication type only applies to 'connect' protocol. default: basic protocolHost = host:port destination address for protocol negotiations protocolPassword = password password for protocol negotiations protocolUsername = username username for protocol negotiations Best regards, Mike

Hi, I use Stunnel for some of my customers. However I tried it myself (after a while, and after a reinstall of windows) and I get this error. Can anyone tell me how to get it to work again? I get the same error when I run it as administrator, or when I change the port from 443 to 4430. 2009.02.04 13:54:04 LOG7[2828:5668]: Snagged 64 random bytes from C:/.rnd 2009.02.04 13:54:04 LOG7[2828:5668]: Wrote 1024 new random bytes to C:/.rnd 2009.02.04 13:54:04 LOG7[2828:5668]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2009.02.04 13:54:04 LOG7[2828:5668]: PRNG seeded successfully 2009.02.04 13:54:04 LOG7[2828:5668]: Certificate: stunnel.pem 2009.02.04 13:54:04 LOG7[2828:5668]: Certificate loaded 2009.02.04 13:54:04 LOG7[2828:5668]: Key file: stunnel.pem 2009.02.04 13:54:04 LOG7[2828:5668]: Private key loaded 2009.02.04 13:54:04 LOG7[2828:5668]: SSL context initialized for service SQLServer 2009.02.04 13:54:04 LOG5[2828:5668]: stunnel 4.26 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8i 15 Sep 2008 2009.02.04 13:54:04 LOG5[2828:5668]: Threading:WIN32 SSL:ENGINE Sockets:SELECT,IPv6 2009.02.04 13:54:04 LOG5[2828:5672]: No limit detected for the number of clients 2009.02.04 13:54:04 LOG7[2828:5672]: FD 224 in non-blocking mode 2009.02.04 13:54:04 LOG7[2828:5672]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket 2009.02.04 13:54:04 LOG3[2828:5672]: Error binding SQLServer to 127.0.0.1:31433 2009.02.04 13:54:04 LOG3[2828:5672]: bind: Permission denied (WSAEACCES) (10013) 2009.02.04 13:54:04 LOG3[2828:5672]: Server is down My stunnel.conf looks like this (actual IP address has been modified): ; Sample stunnel configuration file by Michal Trojnara 2002-2006 ; Some options used here may not be adequate for your particular configuration ; Certificate/key is needed in server mode and optional in client mode ; The default certificate is provided only for testing and should not ; be used in a production environment cert = stunnel.pem ;key = stunnel.pem ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ; Authentication stuff ;verify = 2 ; Don't forget to c_rehash CApath ;CApath = certs ; It's often easier to use CAfile ;CAfile = certs.pem ; Don't forget to c_rehash CRLpath ;CRLpath = crls ; Alternatively you can use CRLfile ;CRLfile = crls.pem ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting debug = 7 ;output = stunnel.log ; Use it for client mode client = yes ; Service-level configuration [SQLServer] accept = 127.0.0.1:31433 connect = 85.15.135.121:443 ; In case of a proxy server, use: ;connect = 10.3.2.50:8080 ;protocol = connect ;protocolHost = 85.15.135.121:443

crl next update field functionality seems incorrect
by Steve Hoffman 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Regarding this piece of code in verify.c: if(X509_cmp_current_time(next_update)<0) { s_log(LOG_WARNING, "Found CRL is expired - " "revoking all certificates until you get updated CRL"); X509_STORE_CTX_set_error(callback_ctx, X509_V_ERR_CRL_HAS_EXPIRED); X509_OBJECT_free_contents(&obj); return 0; /* reject connection */ } I don't believe this is correct functionality. The "next update" field is not an expiration of the CRL, but more of an indicator that you, as the holder of the CRL, should obtain a new one. Snippet from this link: http://www.netscape.ca/browser/netscape8/help/en/ssl_help.html#next_update About the "Next Update" Date The browser uses the CRLs it has available to check the validity of certificates issued by the corresponding CAs. If a certificate is listed as revoked, the browser won't accept it as evidence of identity. A CA typically publishes an updated CRL at regular intervals. Every CRL includes a date, specified in the Next Update field, by which the CA will publish the next update of that CRL. In general, if the date in the Next Update field is earlier than the current date, you should obtain the most recent version of the CRL. To view CRL information and set up automatic CRL updating, see Viewing and Managing CRLs. CAs are required to produce a new CRL by the Next Update date. However, the absence of the most recent CRL does not by itself invalidate a certificate. For this reason, if the most recent CRL is not available, a certificate may be validated even though the most recent CRL shows it as expired. Automatic CRL updating can help to avoid this situation. I'd like to suggest removing this check. Thanks, Steve

Fwd: Stunnel & Zimbra
by Allen 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hi folks, I'm reposting this from my email address on file, because it was initially rejected (I think because I sent it from my main business address, which is not the address I have listed with this group. My apologies. ------------ I've been using stunnel with Zimbra, on OS X Sever since last year and it's been working well (SSL tunnels should be seen and not heard ;-). I upgraded Zimbra yesterday to a new version, that apparently was supposed to fix its instability running on the OS X platform. However, the upgrade wound up breaking the mail server's ability to send email. From Zimbra's web client, it appears like mail is getting sent (there's a little green sent mail box that pops up right after you click on the send button). Mail never arrives at the client end. I can still receive mail into the Zimbra account when I send to it from my business or personal email account. I provisoned and reloaded posffix, etc., and still can't receive mail on the other end. No stunnel settings have changed since before the upgrade. Here are the stunnel-related file outputs: ----------------------------------------------------------------- root# cat /opt/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf client = yes foreground = no [smtps] accept = 5000 connect = server_name.x.y.com:465 (server name changed to protect the innocent ;-) ----------------------------------------------------------------- cat /opt/zimbra/conf/relay_password server_name.domain.com [email protected]:fakepassword --------------------------------------------- With the real usernames, password, domains, etc., those two (above) stunnel files worked perfectly well with stunnel, and sending mail was not a problem. That was --until I upgraded Zimbra. I realize that this is a stunnel forum and the Zimbra-related forum deals with all their issues. However, I'm wondering if somebody out there in stunnel land might have a light bulb going off regarding this issue. Perhaps there's something that I'm overlooking? Thanks! Allen

Identification Propagation patch using stunnel client certificates
by Christophe Nanteuil 02 Feb '09

02 Feb '09

Hello, NB : this patch is provided as alpha version : it handles only 1 request at a time for each administrative and ident servers. Why to use this patch ? This patch can be useful when : - you provide access to Internet via your stunnel server and when your legislation enforces you to keep logs of who connected where and when. In this case, you will have Squid logs filled with identification of stunnel clients in a very simple way : nothing to ask to the client as it uses automatically its certificate to fill in the identity fields. - you want to implement several profile access for your clients accessing your web proxy/server : as the proxy will ask ident request to stunnel, you can create filter groups to allow / denied access (with redirection to a page that you can customize) depending on stunnel answer : see filtergroups option of DansGuardian or acl options in squid. Patch to version : 4.26 Type : new feature Description : Identification Propagation using stunnel client certificates The patch proposes to extend the identification propagation provided by the directive 'EXEC=' to directive 'CONNECT=' when using client certificates. With EXEC directive, Subject name and Issuer Name of clients are put in environment variables, which allows the program to determine identity of the stunnel client. This patch adds an ident server functionality to stunnel, compliant with RFC 1413, to allow propagation of identification to remote hosts specified by the service directive 'CONNECT='. Additionnaly, this patch provides an admnistrative server "bound" to the Ident server : on the administrative socket (default port 127.0.0.1:790), you can request number of users currently connected and list them. How to use this patch ? You just have to add a 'identServer=yes' directive to services that you want to propagate identification. For example, you can use this patch when connecting to a DansGuardian web proxy (installed on proxy.example.com) with the option authplugin = '/etc/dansguardian/ authplugins/ident.conf' enabled in the configuration file (or when connecting to a Squid web proxy compiled with --enable-ident-lookups option), and the following stunnel configuration file (located in /etc/ssl/stunnel/stunnel-ident.conf) : ... [WEB] accept=8080 connect=proxy.example.com:8080 identServer=yes ... Stunnel will create a listening socket on 0.0.0.0:113 and answer requests initiated by DansGuardian. -- Christophe Nanteuil

Feature request: set environment variable for inetd-type program
by Michael Renner 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

Moin, I am not a programmer, I am a writer and user, so I have to ask kindly for a additional stunnel feature I need the ability to push some information from the stunnel client side to the server side. To be more concrete: a self written script that is called by stunnels 'exec' statement need some settings, e.g. username and password. My idea is to configure this in the client side stunnel.conf and pass this as a environment variable to this script. There is no chance to pack these stings in a client certificate, because everybody who is able to handle snoop/tcpdump will be able to read this. I imagine a configuration like this: client stunnel.conf [foo] accept = 127.0.0.1:1234 connect = 192.0.20.0:443 env = "SUSER=renner" env = "SPASS=geheim" server stunnel.conf [foo] accept = 192.0.20.0:443 exec = /opt/foo/script.sh env = yes My question to the developers: do you think this is a helpful feature, also for others? Greetings -- |Michael Renner E-mail: michael.renner(a)gmx.de | |D-81541 Munich Germany ICQ: #112280325 | |Germany Don't drink as root! ESC:wq

Use stunnel through firewall for home Web server?
by Bill Eldridge 25 Jan '09

25 Jan '09

I was interested in whether there's a simple way to have stunnel redirect traffic from a public Web browser/port to my home Web browser behind my DSL firewall (no ports opened/forwarded for incoming connections on the router, only outgoing-initiated) I scanned old posts but didn't find anything that quite fit - references are usually for people who want to get out from behind a firewall, not publish sites publicly from behind (i.e. externally initiated clicks)

Compilation problem
by fredzy padzy 21 Jan '09

21 Jan '09

Hi everyone I try to compile stunnel, but it fails. Actually, it tells me about a parse error inside signal.h, and i think it's a falsePositive. The configure works great and nothing look strange inside the configure.log. I also tried to googled those errors, but didn't find any clues. My server is a sunOS 10 and the src were taken from http://www.stunnel.org/download/stunnel/src/stunnel-4.26.tar.gz My version of openssl : OpenSSL 0.9.7.d Here are the errors, after the make command : /stunnel-4.26 root# make Making all in src make[1]: Entering directory `/root/syslogNG/stunnel-4.26/src' if gcc -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"stunnel\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"stunnel\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"4.26\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"stunnel\ 4.26\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"\" -DPACKAGE=\"stunnel\" -DVERSION=\"4.26\" -DHOST=\"i386-pc-solaris2.10\" -DCPU_I386=1 -DVENDOR_PC=1 -DOS_SOLARIS2_10=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_MEMORY_H=1 -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_STDINT_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_DLFCN_H=1 -DSIZEOF_UNSIGNED_CHAR=1 -DSIZEOF_UNSIGNED_SHORT=2 -DSIZEOF_UNSIGNED_INT=4 -DSIZEOF_UNSIGNED_LONG=4 -DHAVE_DEV_PTMX=1 -DRANDOM_FILE=\"/dev/urandom\" -DHAVE_UCONTEXT_H=1 -DHAVE_PTHREAD_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_SELECT_H=1 -DHAVE_POLL_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_POLL_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_IOCTL_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_FILIO_H=1 -DHAVE_STROPTS_H=1 -DHAVE_GRP_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_RESOURCE_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_SOCKET_H=1 -DHAVE_LIBSOCKET=1 -DHAVE_LIBDL=1 -DHAVE_LIBZ=1 -DHAVE_LIBPTHREAD=1 -DUSE_PTHREAD=1 -DHAVE_SNPRINTF=1 -DHAVE_VSNPRINTF=1 -DHAVE_WAITPID=1 -DHAVE_WAIT4=1 -DHAVE_SETSID=1 -DHAVE_SETGROUPS=1 -DHAVE_CHROOT=1 -DHAVE_SYSCONF=1 -DHAVE_GETRLIMIT=1 -DHAVE_PTHREAD_SIGMASK=1 -DHAVE_LOCALTIME_R=1 -DHAVE_GETCONTEXT=1 -DHAVE_POLL=1 -DHAVE_ENDHOSTENT=1 -DHAVE_GETNAMEINFO=1 -DHAVE_GETADDRINFO=1 -DHAVE_OPENSSL=1 -Dssldir=\"/usr/local/ssl\" -DHAVE_OSSL_ENGINE_H=1 -DUSE_IPv6=1 -I. -I. -I/usr/kerberos/include -DLIBDIR='"/usr/local/lib/stunnel"' -DCONFDIR='"/usr/local/etc/stunnel"' -DPIDFILE='"/var/run/stunnel/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid"' -g -O2 -Wall -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wpointer-arith -I/usr/local/ssl/include -MT file.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/file.Tpo" -c -o file.o file.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/file.Tpo" ".deps/file.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/file.Tpo"; exit 1; fi *In file included from /usr/include/sys/signal.h:34,* from /usr/include/signal.h:26, from common.h:250, from file.c:38: /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:259: error: parse error before "ctid_t" /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:292: error: parse error before '}' token /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:294: error: parse error before '}' token /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:390: error: parse error before "ctid_t" /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:392: error: conflicting types for `__proc' /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:261: error: previous declaration of `__proc' /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:398: error: conflicting types for `__fault' /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:267: error: previous declaration of `__fault' /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:404: error: conflicting types for `__file' /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:273: error: previous declaration of `__file' /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:420: error: conflicting types for `__prof' /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:287: error: previous declaration of `__prof' /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:424: error: conflicting types for `__rctl' /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:291: error: previous declaration of `__rctl' /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:426: error: parse error before '}' token /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:428: error: parse error before '}' token /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:432: error: parse error before "k_siginfo_t" /usr/include/sys/siginfo.h:437: error: parse error before '}' token In file included from /usr/include/signal.h:26, from common.h:250, from file.c:38: /usr/include/sys/signal.h:85: error: parse error before "siginfo_t" In file included from common.h:250, from file.c:38: /usr/include/signal.h:111: error: parse error before "siginfo_t" /usr/include/signal.h:113: error: parse error before "siginfo_t" In file included from common.h:251, from file.c:38: /usr/include/sys/wait.h:86: error: parse error before "siginfo_t" make[1]: *** [file.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/syslogNG/stunnel-4.26/src' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 Is that normal that i've 2 signal.h files ?

So stunnel is the wrong tool if you have to use ftps. Please check http://www.stunnel.org/examples/ftp.html for more information about stunnel and ftp.

I do not think that this can work. SFTP is not just encrypted FTP traffic, but an entirely different protocol.
