Hi, Ok, this has clarified things for me. Another question, do you have a copy of the proxy program (SocksCap ?) running on PC2? If not then this is the problem. I believe that stunnel does not itself act as a proxy. It simply acts as a tunnel. >From your description of your config I suspect that you should have a second copy of SocksCap listenening on PC2 which will forward data onto the internet. A quick example: PC1: SocksCap listening on port 8080 ( for example) forwards to 127.0.0.1:500 stunnel listening on port 500, forwarded any data to PC2 port 500 PC2: stunnel listening on port 500 forwards data to 127.0.0.1:8080 SocksCap listening on port 8080 forwards data out to the internet. This will encrypt data between PC1 & PC2 but after that it will be back in plain. In order to test this I would break it down into its individual components and test each stage. I recommend downloading netcat (http://netcat.sourceforge.net/ or google for it) and learn how to use it. Sorry I can't help you with this bit, its better if you learn it yourself - and once you have you will wonder how you ever managed without it ;) Regards Ian --

Stunnel for HTTP encription
by LoopBack Inc 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

Hello! I'm tring to encript HTTP. I use two PCs, PC1 and PC2. PC1 is a client PC2 is a server. IP of PC1:192.168.0.1 IP of PC2:192.168.0.2 I use SocksCap to forward the iexplore cnnections to another port, a port on which stunnel listens. On PC1, the client, stunnel is listening on port 500. So when I start iexplore.exe with SocksCap every connection goes to 127.0.0.1:500. PC1 connects to PC2, with connect = 192.168.0.2:123 On PC2, the server, stunnel listens on port 500. then is connects to the internet with connect = 127.0.0.1:80. Here is the problem, stunnel doesn't connect to the internet over 127.0.0.1:80. I don't know why, but it doesnt. LOGs from the SERVER: 2006.07.18 16:56:07 LOG7[2332:2720]: inet accepted FD=208 from 192.168.0.1:2156 2006.07.18 16:56:07 LOG7[2332:2720]: Creating a new thread 2006.07.18 16:56:07 LOG7[2332:2720]:

connect to the internet on PC2. I think i have to use something different than connect = 127.0.0.1:80 on PC2, but not sure. I'm using Windwos.

configure/compile issue on AIX
by Boxall, John 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

I'm trying to get stunnel working on AIX 5.3. I'm running the configure with "--prefix=/opt/freeware", however, when I start stunnel it is looking for the stunnel.conf file in /usr/local/etc/stunnel. Shouldn't it be looking for it in "/opt/freeware/etc/stunnel", which is where the "make install" put it? Regards, John Boxall

newbie: stunnel works but do not encrypt
by Gallas Róbert 13 Jul '06

13 Jul '06

Hello, I setup stunnel( v4.15 win32 port ) on both side, client and server. Connection is working but does not encrypt. Setup is done for ORACLE and WEB. Oracle`s listener is setup with "USE_SHARED_SOCKET = TRUE" variable and works fine with OpenSSH with PUTTY I use default configuration just with the needed basic customization: # ##Client cert = stunnel.pem socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 debug = 7 output = stunnel.log client = yes [web] accept = 3128 connect = 10.160.1.220:3128 [oracle] accept = 1521 connect = 10.160.1.220:4892 ### Server: cert = stunnel.pem socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 [web] accept = 3128 connect = 10.160.0.4:3128 [oracle] accept = 4892 connect = 10.160.1.220:1521 Any good sugestions?

Follow-up: Bad certificate? (was Expired certificate?)
by Boxall, John 11 Jul '06

11 Jul '06

Mike, et al, The problem I was having with stunnel on a Windows box connecting with stunnel on a Unix server (Solaris in this case) turned out to be a mis-configuration of the syslog-ng server on Unix. I took a sample syslog-ng.conf from somewhere else and didn't know the impact of "max-connections(1)". Though I assume it is intended as a limit on the number of connections to the localhost (127.0.0.1:514), it effectively limits the number of in-bound connections from remote logging clients to 1 (in this case using port 5140). Removing this parameter allowed all of my test clients to simultaneously log to the server. Mike, the OpenSSL-generated cert works fine. Thanks. Regards, John Boxall

I have a Solaris 10 SPARC server running stunnel 4.15 with openssl version "OpenSSL 0.9.8b 04 May 2006". When I try to run /usr/local/sbin/stunnel I get the following error. ld.so.1: stunnel: fatal: libssl.so.0.9.8: open failed: No such file or directory Killed In the stunnel.conf file I have debug set to 7 but it will not write to the stunnel.log file. I also get the same error if I run stunnel -version. Thanks for any help you could give.

Wildcard outbound IP matching...
by Jeff Roberts 07 Jul '06

07 Jul '06

Is there a way to configure Stunnel to capture outbound packets for *any* IP, but for a specific port? My SMTP server can be configured to connect directly to the final SMTP server. I can configure the outbound port to some other port other than 25, so I'd like to say something like - [smtpclient] protocol=smtp accept = *:2210 connect = *:25 Suggestions? ->Jeff RAD Game Tools

Bad certificate? (was Expired certificate?)
by Boxall, John 30 Jun '06

30 Jun '06

Mike, I've created a self-signed certificate on my Windows test box using OpenSSL 0.9.7j (the version from Shining Light). I created the key file with the following command: "openssl genrsa 1024 > \host.key Here is the command I used to create the self-signed cert: "openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 -days 9999 -key \host.key > \host.cert" I then copied the key/cert to the appropriate file in the stunnel directory.

Stunnel 4.15 cannot handle PKCS8 format private keys
by David Gillingham 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

In modifying stunnel to work with the OpenSSL FIPS-certified module, I found out that private keys cannot be in the default OpenSSL format; they must be in PKCS8 format (due to the MD5 algorithm being disabled in FIPS mode). Talking to Dr. Henson of the OpenSSL group I was able to convert my private keys from the default format to PKCS8, but I found that stunnel was not able to handle these keys. I got the following error output (note that server.pem contains a PKCS8 private key and a PKCS7 public cert): 2006.06.08 17:49:38 LOG7[1120:616]: Certificate: server.pem 2006.06.08 17:49:38 LOG7[1120:616]: Key file: server.pem 2006.06.08 17:49:42 LOG3[1120:616]: error stack: 140B3009 : error:140B3009:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_use_RSAPrivateKey_file:PEM lib 2006.06.08 17:49:42 LOG3[1120:616]: error stack: 906700D : error:0906700D:PEM routines:PEM_ASN1_read_bio:ASN1 lib 2006.06.08 17:49:42 LOG3[1120:616]: error stack: 2306A075 : error:2306A075:PKCS12 routines:PKCS12_DECRYPT_D2I:pkcs12 pbe crypt error 2006.06.08 17:49:42 LOG3[1120:616]: error stack: 23077073 : error:23077073:PKCS12 routines:PKCS12_pbe_crypt:pkcs12 algor cipherinit error 2006.06.08 17:49:42 LOG3[1120:616]: SSL_CTX_use_RSAPrivateKey_file: 6074079: error:06074079:digital envelope routines:EVP_PBE_CipherInit:unknown pbe algorithm 2006.06.08 17:49:42 LOG3[1120:616]: Server is down Continuing with Dr. Henson, he informed me that this ssl error output meant that "the PBE table has not been initialized in the application". I corrected this by adding a call to OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() into ssl_init() in ssl.c. This fixed my error with the PEM files. I am posting this so that this bug may be fixed for the next stunnel release. Additionally, I'd like verification that my fix makes sense given the structure of the stunnel code. From doing some searches in the stunnel source, I could not find any existing code that initialized the PBE table so adding the call to ssl_init() made sense _to me_. Michal: do you agree?

Expired certificate?
by Boxall, John 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Michal, et al, When attempting to connect from a Windows box to a Solaris box (as the server), the Solaris stunnel log (debug = 7) shows that the certificate on the Windows box (included with the download) has expired. I can connect from a Solaris 9 client box with no problems. The Solaris box is running as an NTP client to an internal NTP server. The Windows box isn't logged into a domain, but the time is within 5 minutes of the Solaris box. Solaris server: Solaris 9 (2004/09, no patches) OpenSSL 0.9.8a Stunnel 4.15 Application: Syslog-ng 1.6.11 (working fine on a client Solaris 9 box) Windows client: Windows XP Stunnel 4.15 Application: EventReporter 8.0.268/8.0.219 stunnel.conf: (borrowed and modified from a Solaris client box) ; ;CLIENT-ONLY stunnel configuration file ; client = yes cert = C:\Program Files\stunnel\stunnel.pem-client-certificate CAfile = C:\Program Files\stunnel\stunnel.pem-server-certificate ;chroot = /var/run/stunnel ;pid = /usr/local/var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid ;setuid = stunnel ;setgid = stunnel verify = 3 ;foreground = yes debug = 7 output = C:\Program Files\stunnel\stunnel.log [5140] accept = 127.0.0.1:514 connect = 192.168.0.143:5140 If the certificate has truly expired, could you post a new one? If not, any suggestions? Regards, John Boxall

patch to build stunnel 4.15 with VS2005
by David Gillingham 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

All-- I have created a patch that will allow stunnel 4.15 to be built with Visual Studio 2005's command line environment. I have only tested it with VS2k5, but it should work for all Visual Studio .NET versions (that is, VS 7.0 or later). After you apply this patch to the source tree, you will need to run the makefile from a Visual Studio Command prompt (Start->Programs->Visual Studio->Visual Studio Tools->Visual Studio Command Prompt). From there, change the working directory to the stunnel\src folder and execute the command "nmake -f vs.mak all". After the build process has completed, you will have a working stunnel.exe. This patch will modify vc.mak to a working makefile for nmake (mimicing the basic structure of mingw.mak), common.h to include a couple missing headers for the I/O functions in pty.c, and env.c to include the winsock headers under the Win32 environment (replicating how it was done in common.h). This patch that is a result of internal testing/development I've done here at work and am releasing it to this list (and the stunnel developers) so that these changes could possibly be included in future stunnel releases. To the stunnel devs: if there's any additional work that can be done to get this integrated by the next release, just mention it. The other day, I tried sending the patch to the list as an attachment, but my message never showed up on either the mirt.net or google groups mirrors. I can only assume it was rejected because of the attachment. What follows is the full text of my patch file. > cat 4.15-MSVC2005.patch diff -cr stunnel-4.15-orig/src/common.h stunnel-4.15/src/common.h *** stunnel-4.15-orig/src/common.h Fri Mar 10 08:54:56 2006 --- stunnel-4.15/src/common.h Fri Jun 23 21:41:00 2006 *************** *** 153,158 **** --- 153,164 ---- #endif #include <windows.h> + /* include Visual Studio headers needed for I/O manipulation */ + #ifdef _MSC_VER + #include <io.h> + #include <fcntl.h> + #endif + #define ECONNRESET WSAECONNRESET #define ENOTSOCK WSAENOTSOCK #define ENOPROTOOPT WSAENOPROTOOPT diff -cr stunnel-4.15-orig/src/env.c stunnel-4.15/src/env.c *** stunnel-4.15-orig/src/env.c Sat Jan 7 13:47:36 2006 --- stunnel-4.15/src/env.c Mon Jun 26 21:11:25 2006 *************** *** 31,45 **** /* getpeername() can't be declared in the following includes */ #define getpeername no_getpeername #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> /* for AF_INET */ #include <netinet/in.h> #include <arpa/inet.h> /* for inet_addr() */ #include <stdlib.h> /* for getenv() */ #ifdef __BEOS__ #include <be/bone/arpa/inet.h> /* for AF_INET */ #include <be/bone/sys/socket.h> /* for AF_INET */ - #else - #include <sys/socket.h> /* for AF_INET */ #endif #undef getpeername --- 31,52 ---- /* getpeername() can't be declared in the following includes */ #define getpeername no_getpeername #include <sys/types.h> + #ifdef USE_WIN32 + #ifdef _WIN32_WCE + #include <winsock.h> + #else + #include <winsock2.h> + #include <ws2tcpip.h> + #endif /* _WIN32_WCE */ + #else /* USE_WIN32 */ #include <sys/socket.h> /* for AF_INET */ #include <netinet/in.h> #include <arpa/inet.h> /* for inet_addr() */ + #endif /* USE_WIN32 */ #include <stdlib.h> /* for getenv() */ #ifdef __BEOS__ #include <be/bone/arpa/inet.h> /* for AF_INET */ #include <be/bone/sys/socket.h> /* for AF_INET */ #endif #undef getpeername diff -cr stunnel-4.15-orig/src/vc.mak stunnel-4.15/src/vc.mak *** stunnel-4.15-orig/src/vc.mak Sat Jan 21 10:17:32 2006 --- stunnel-4.15/src/vc.mak Tue Jun 27 21:02:15 2006 *************** *** 1,2 **** ! # makefile for VC is not ready... --- 1,45 ---- ! # Simple Makefile.w32 for stunnel.exe by Michal Trojnara 1998-2006 ! # ! # Modified by David Gillingham (dgillingham(a)gmail.com) for Visual ! # Studio ! ! # Modify this to point to your actual openssl compile directory ! # (You did already compile openssl, didn't you???) !

stunnel in proxy mode won't start
by Dave Hinz 28 Jun '06

28 Jun '06

I'm trying to run stunnel in proxy mode, to accept connections on port 443, and forward them to an application listening at port 9999 on the same box. I believe I have the configuration correct, but I'm obviously overlooking something. Environment: stunnel 4.15 on sparc-sun-solaris2.9 with OpenSSL 0.9.7g 11 Apr 2005 I have built an stunnel.conf file, and a stunnel.pem file which are located in the correct place with the right permissions. I verified that by moving or changing permissions and seeing that errors were produced. I've changed the debug level to 7, and the following information is displayed when I try to start stunnel: cert# stunnel 2006.06.28 13:01:14 LOG7[9088:1]: Snagged 64 random bytes from /users/dave/.rnd 2006.06.28 13:01:14 LOG7[9088:1]: Wrote 1024 new random bytes to /users/dave/.rnd 2006.06.28 13:01:14 LOG7[9088:1]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2006.06.28 13:01:14 LOG6[9088:1]: PRNG seeded successfully 2006.06.28 13:01:14 LOG7[9088:1]: Certificate: /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem 2006.06.28 13:01:14 LOG7[9088:1]: Key file: /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem 2006.06.28 13:01:14 LOG7[9088:1]: Verify directory set to / 2006.06.28 13:01:14 LOG5[9088:1]: Peer certificate location / 2006.06.28 13:01:14 LOG7[9088:1]: SSL context initialized for service test cert# Same thing if I run it as stunnel stunnel.conf -fd The prompt comes back immediately, ps -ef shows no stunnel running, and nothing is answering on port 443 which is where I'm telling it to listen: stunnel.conf file: cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem chroot = /usr/local/etc/stunnel # PID is created inside chroot jail pid = /pid/stunnel.pid #setuid = nobody #setgid = nogroup # Authentication stuff verify = 3 # don't forget about c_rehash CApath # it is located inside chroot jail: CApath = / # Some debugging stuff debug = 7 output = stunnel.log # Use it for client mode client = no # Service-level configuration [test] accept = 127.0.0.1:443 connect = 127.0.0.1:9999 #TIMEOUTclose = 0 ---end stunnel.conf file--- The pem files are located in the same directory as the stunnel.conf, hence the "/" for the pathname above.

stunnel.cfg file
by Dheeraj Sehrawat 28 Jun '06

28 Jun '06

Hi All, I am looking at a problem and found the system is using stunnel with web server. From my google search I have understood that stunnel is used to make the application SSL enable. Please validate my understanding. I found following stunnel.cfg file in properties directory Port0 Enabled=0 ExternalPort=0 LocalPort=0 SSLEnabled=0 UDP=0 Port1 Enabled=1 ExternalPort=1500 LocalPort=10080 SSLEnabled=0 Port2 Enabled=0 ExternalPort=1600 LocalPort=10080 SSLEnabled=1 ------------------------------------------------------ I have the following questions: 1] what is the meaning of ExternalPort and LocalPort ? How does these ports relate with each other? Please help me in understanding this configuration file. Thanks, Dheeraj __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

Re: enabling zlib compression

I'd really like to get this working, but I'm not sure what other information you require? All other posts on this subject refer to making sure zlib is included when openssl is compiled. Well, I've confirmed that it is. Would a strace of stunnel attempting to start up help?

Patch to fix compile errors under MS Visual C++ 2005
by David Gillingham 26 Jun '06

26 Jun '06

Attached is a patch for stunnel 4.15 that allows the source to be built under Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. Here's a rundown of what's been changed: In common.h, I included io.h and fcntl.h so that pty.c would build without error. In env.c, I included the winsock headers (replicating how it was done for common.h), and removed a duplicate include of sys/socket.h. The latter change wasn't necessary for compiliation with MSVC, but I thought I'd remove what looked like an unncessary line. To get stunnel to build without warning, I defined the following preprocessor definitions: USE_WIN32 _CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE _CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE HAVE_GETADDRINFO HAVE_GETNAMEINFO _MBCS Later in the week, I'll post a patch to vs.mak to automate the build process (I'm still building with a solution file at the moment). To the stunnel developers: If there's anything extra I can do to ensure these changes are incorporated into the next release, please let me know.

I have checked the OpenSSL INSTALL file and zlib /should/ be enabled by default... zlib-dynamic Like "zlib", but has OpenSSL load the zlib library dynamically when needed. This is only supported on systems where loading of shared libraries is supported. This is the default choice. If I can assume that Linux supports the loading of shared libraries, then can someone please help me to get zlib compression working over the stunnel. Thanks very much.

Solaris9/Sparc runtime library problems
by Dave Hinz 23 Jun '06

23 Jun '06

This is probably a very basic problem, but I've checked the FAQ and googled through the mailing list's archives and I'm not seeing what appears to be a match for this problem. I'm completely new to stunnel. It built and runs just fine on one of my linux dev boxes, but on Solaris, I can't get it to run. Attempting to run /usr/local/sbin/stunnel, I get the following: ---begin output--- jabba% ./stunnel ld.so.1: ./stunnel: fatal: libssl.so.0.9.7: open failed: No such file or directory Killed ---end output--- The various debug switches to stunnel give the same output - it's dying before anything can be started, apparently. libssl.so.0.9.7 is located on that box at /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7and other ssl functions of the system appear to work normally. I suspect that stunnel just doesn't know how to find it, but I'm at a loss as to how to tell it where to look. Can someone suggest my next steps please? Thank you, Dave Hinz

Is there a limit to the number of services you can have defined on a client?
by Lund, Claus 14 Jun '06

14 Jun '06

We have a bunch of middle-tier servers for an application and we're using stunnel to encrypt the traffic between the windows clients and those middle-tier servers. The clients have stunnel.conf files with a large number of services defined and it seems like we're hitting some limit in stunnel. I ran some quick tests and it looks like it's impossible to have more than 64 services defined? If I have a config file with about 100 services defined then everything works fine up until I try to connect to service number 65. When I try to connect to that service then the client just hangs forever (and there's no output in the log file on the client). We are using version 4.14 but I tested this on 4.15 as well and I am getting the same result there. Here's a piece of the config file I am using for testing: "client = yes ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting debug = 7 output = stunnel.log [blah] accept = 13806 connect = tax187a:13806 [blah1] accept = 13807 connect = tax187a:13806" Then followed by blah2 - blah100. Things work fine when connect to "blah63" and lower. Anything higher than that cause the stunnel client to just hang.

Modifying STunnel to use OpenSSL FIPS
by David Gillingham 13 Jun '06

13 Jun '06

As part of an internal project at work, I'm investigating a Windows tunneling solution using STunnel. As a requirement of my work, I am to modify STunnel to use OpenSSL's FIPS APIs. And, with only a couple of speedbumps, I was able to achieve this. However I'd like to make my code a little more robust--to provide some notification to the user if OpenSSL's FIPS mode is active or not. To this point I've not been able to figure out a way to do this. In my copy of the STunnel source, I've modified the routine ssl_init() in ssl.c to make a call to FIPS_mode_set(1) (as demonstrated on page 33 of http://www.openssl.org/docs/fips/UserGuide-1.0.pdf) Below is a copy of my current copy of ssl_init(): void ssl_init(void) { /* to keep CLI structure for verify callback */ #if defined(OPENSSL_FIPS) && defined(USE_FIPS) if (!FIPS_mode_set(1)) { s_log(LOG_CRIT, "Could not set FIPS mdoe!"); } else { s_log(LOG_INFO, "In FIPS mode."); } #endif /* rest of ssl_init() from original source */ } As I've found out, the s_log calls do nothing because the STunnel window has not been displayed yet. Ideally, in the case where the FIPS_mode_set() call fails, I'd like to invoke an error handler to cause the STunnel service to fail to start. But trying to make a call to something like sslerror() caused a program crash. Any ideas on how to make these changes?

BarracudaDrive is *not* a free software (even though its home page claims so). See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html for details. 2. It only works on Windows, Linux, QNX and Mac OS X. Compare it to the list on http://stunnel.mirt.net/. 3. BarracudaDrive is designed to be used for file transfer, while stunnel is a universal tool for encrypting TCP streams. As the result stunnel is much more flexible, but it won't perform any file transfer by itself. > http://proxytunnel.sourceforge.net 1. It's not really an encryption tool, but rather an extension for OpenSSH client. It has some optional basic SSL code (as for version 1.6.0), but it's currently broken. The code incorrectly assumes that SSL_read() only needs to read from a file descriptor and SSL_write() only needs to wrote to a file descriptor. 2. Proxytunnel supports NTLM authentication that is not currently supported by stunnel. 3. It looks like an interesting addition to stunnel on a Unix platform. The client configuration should be something like: [Proxytunnel] client = yes accept = 12345 exec = /path/to/proxytunnel execargs = proxytunnel -p proxy:8080 -u user -s pass -d mybox.athome.nl:443 4. Optional use of stunnel is recommended in README file of Proxytunnel 1.6.0. 8-) Best regards, Mike

socket closed after SSL_write
by Srilalitha Muralidhara(HCL Capital Market Services) 12 Jun '06

12 Jun '06

Hi, I work on a client-server application that needs to be supported on both UNIX and windows platforms. Currently, we keep one socket open for all communication from client to server (during which many read-write operations take place) For user authentication and security purposes, we are planning to implement SSL-Stunnel. I have developed a small ssl client (based on sclient.c example) which connects to the Stunnel Server. Upon the first SSL_write, SSL is closing the underlying socket. Hence the contents written by subsequent SSL_write operations are not visible in the server log. I saw lot of posts on the same problem. But couldn't find the solution. Any help is greatly appreciated. Please note that: 1. Due platform independency issues, I use RWSocket (a Roguewave library class) instead of the BSD socket in conjunction with SSL.

Hello, I set up a server and a client machine to test the combination of stunnel and syslog-ng. I followed the instructions in the example at http://www.stunnel.org/examples/syslog-ng.html, but the log messages are not sent correcly.

Hi, My stunnel server is unable to send data correctly to my application running the same machine. This happens when the client is run from windows platform. When client is run from UNIX everything works fine.

decryption failed or bad record mac
by Trent Townsend 07 Jun '06

07 Jun '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've emailed about this once already, but am just giving a *little* more info. It seems similar problems with SSL proliferate the web. The problem is below (message from the client and server posted). I thought it may be a bug reported with SSL and zlib (which a fix isn't due out until the next version of OpenSSL). However, I can successfully start up a openssl s_server and talk to it with a s_client, so I think that eliminates OpenSSL. Has anyone seen this before (I'm sure this is the case) and figured it out?

Processing during CRL expiry and refresh
by Nagasundaram, Sekhar 06 Jun '06

06 Jun '06

All: I have 2 questions: 1. Is there a way to have Stunnel continue processing and accepting connections after the CRL expiry? Currently it gives a "revoking all certificates" error and stops accepting connections. 2. Is there a configurable parameter through which we can have the CRL list refresh itself such that 1 above does not happen? Much Thanks in advance.. Sekhar

stunnel and bad rsa signature

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On a test environment, I successfully had stunnel securing MySQL traffic between 2 systems using a verify level of 3. However, with the production system and what I would call an identical setup (albeit with new certificates), I get the following errors (see log below.) The version I'm running of stunnel is 4.11.

Problem getting stunnel to chroot on Suse 10
by Paul Stepowski 29 May '06

29 May '06

Hi list, I'm using stunnel package that comes standard with Suse 10.0 stunnel 4.10 on i686-suse-linux-gnu UCONTEXT+POLL+IPv4+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.7g 11 Apr 2005 I can tunnel ports over ssl using stunnel but the chroot directive doesn't seem to be working. E.g. my pid file is being created under / rather than /var/lib/stunnel-syslogng. The other paths in the config file are taken by stunnel as relative to / rather than the chroot directory. What am I missing? Here's my stunnel config. I'm not passing any other flags when running stunnel. ---snip--- client = no #debug = 7 #foreground = yes chroot = /var/lib/stunnel-syslogng setuid = stunnel setgid = nogroup pid = /stunnel.pid #output = stunnel.log socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 #compression = rle #options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS #verify = 2 #CApath = /certs #CAfile = /certs/stunnel.pem #CRLpath = /crls #CRLfile = /etc/stunnel/crls.pem cert = /var/lib/stunnel-syslogng/certs/stunnel.pem ---snip--- Thanks, Paul

The first, successful (!) call to run_client() seems to leave the ssl context in an undefined state which makes the following calls to run_client() segfault in the forked child which in turn produces the core file. My guess is, that it's not actually supposed to loop if the call to run_client() is successful. Reverting client.c to roughly 4.14 fixes the problem for me. A patch is attached. Any insights and a more permanent fix would be highly appreciated. BTW: I configured stunnel with --with-threads=pthread. By default, ucontext is detected, which is broken in stunnel-4.14 as well. After finishing, 4.14 hangs in s_poll_wait waiting for -1 seconds on 0 fds (!?). I can provide debugging log and gdb output if needed. -- bye, Michael

Using a signed *.domain.com with ssl - Getting "unable to get local issuer certificate"
by Pritesh Mehta 24 May '06

24 May '06

Hello all, I have had a good hunt around and am having trouble finding a solution. I am using stunnel to provide encrypted pop3 access to our mail server, and we have recently purchased a signed *.XXX.com certificate from godaddy. This has been great since I can use the same cert on all our servers, and this has worked cleanly with the webservices. However, I am having some issues with the stunnel and pop3 service. I am not entirely certain whether it is caused by the *.XXX.com certificate (although I think it unlikely) but was hoping someone more knowledgeable could enlighten me? I currently have stunnel configured thusly: stunnel -f \ -A /etc/stunnel/certs/sf_issuing.pem \ -p /etc/stunnel/certs/wildcard.XXX.com.stunnel.pem \ -r 127.0.0.1:110 Unfortunately my users are getting warnings, and using the openssl client I get: $ openssl s_client -connect mail.XXX.com:995 CONNECTED(00000003) depth=1 /C=US/ST=Arizona/L=Scottsdale/O=Starfield Technologies, Inc./OU=http://www.starfieldtech.com/repository/CN=Starfield Secure Certification Authority/emailAddress=practices(a)starfieldtech.com verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate verify return:0 --- Certificate chain 0 s:/O=*.XXX.com/OU=Domain Control Validated/CN=*.XXX.com i:/C=US/ST=Arizona/L=Scottsdale/O=Starfield Technologies, Inc./OU=http://www.starfieldtech.com/repository/CN=Starfield Secure Certification Authority/emailAddress=practices(a)starfieldtech.com 1 s:/C=US/ST=Arizona/L=Scottsdale/O=Starfield Technologies, Inc./OU=http://www.starfieldtech.com/repository/CN=Starfield Secure Certification Authority/emailAddress=practices(a)starfieldtech.com i:/L=ValiCert Validation Network/O=ValiCert, Inc./OU=ValiCert Class 2 Policy Validation Authority/CN=http://www.valicert.com//[email protected] --- Server certificate -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- [snip] -----END CERTIFICATE----- subject=/O=*.XXX.com/OU=Domain Control Validated/CN=*.XXX.com issuer=/C=US/ST=Arizona/L=Scottsdale/O=Starfield Technologies, Inc./OU=http://www.starfieldtech.com/repository/CN=Starfield Secure Certification Authority/emailAddress=practices(a)starfieldtech.com --- No client certificate CA names sent --- SSL handshake has read 2381 bytes and written 340 bytes --- New, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is AES256-SHA Server public key is 1024 bit Compression: NONE Expansion: NONE SSL-Session: Protocol : TLSv1 Cipher : AES256-SHA Session-ID: 4E550C07BDA9661C4B532A28110E5616549CB9FA72D37E5C979E3C6579F8FB99 Session-ID-ctx: Master-Key: 2E588101AA098463FA40C0353009F5842FA19B1C3D48D9A0000EB2E241EFB70BB10D52FE9BC444344D49653B9FEB25F4 Key-Arg : None Start Time: 1148463445 Timeout : 300 (sec) Verify return code: 20 (unable to get local issuer certificate) --- I am positive this must have been covered before somewhere, but I haven't been able to find anything conclusive.
