Help Installing Stunnel After Reformat Drive
by mxrtmxd72＠att.net 22 Sep '05

22 Sep '05

I have been using Stunnel with Agent versioin 3. My system recently crashed and I had to re-format the hard drive, reinstall Windows XP, and reinstall my apps. I have followed the directions at wurd.com/cl_ssl_stunnel.php#Windows. Fortunately, I had backups of the required files. I placed libeay32.dll, libssl32.dll, stunnel-4.10.exe, and stunnel.conf in C:\Stunnel. I placed a shortcut on the desktop which points to C:\Batch\runagent.bat. C:\Batch\runagent.bat consists of the following line: c:\batch\runagent.cmd c:\batch\runagent.cmd consists of the following lines: net start stunnel "C:\Program Files\Agent\agent.exe" net stop stunnel There is also a desktop shortcut which points to C:\Stunnel\stunnel-4.10.exe. When I place a pause command following the net start stunnel line in runagent.cmd a message appears: The service name is invalid. The WURD document seems to imply that it is not necessary to run stunnel-410.exe -install unless you want Stunnel to run all the time. Am I missing something? I don't remember exactly how I made this work when I first installed it before my system crashed. Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks. Mort Middleman Print. Move to folder:

RE: [stunnel-users] Access to a daemon that has SSL abilities

10x for the quick reply Alaric! Just want to see if I fully understand your note.. You set the stunnel daemon (/application) on a certain client machine. (let's say you have an IMAP client on it) Then, you configure your Argosoft server, which is set on another machine, to listen to SSL communication (i.e. IMAPS). Is this correct?

Hello I am running the Win32 binaries, v4.11, and up to now, they were working fine, as had all the 4.x versions before. But now my http connection will not work; it says "Failed to initialize remote connection". 2005.09.14 22:50:04 LOG3[2500:1492]: Failed to initialize remote connection 2005.09.14 22:50:06 LOG3[2500:1608]: Failed to initialize remote connection Please can anyone advice me what is wrong and how to put this right?

FYI, I'm trying to make a case so that my employer will feel some degree of comfort if we deploy it. Is there any other commercial entity that uses this version (4.11) of stunnel. Thanks

stunnel-4.11 patch for multiple certificates
by Nick Tolomiczenko 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

Hi stunnel users, I placed a patch to stunnel-4.11 that will enable it to handle multiple certificates. It is currently awaiting moderator approval. For those who can't wait, please contact myself, Nick Tolomiczenko, or Shem Ali below. Here's the description of what it does: This patch addresses the need for service-level ssl contexts. In particular, the following options which were only available as global options may now be used at the service level: cert, key, CApath, CAfile, ciphers, CRLpath, CRLfile, options, client and verify. If any of these options are used in a service section, stunnel will override its global setting -- if it exists -- and initialize a separate ssl context for the service. On the other hand, for those services that do not specify any of these options, stunnel will fall back on what was specified in the global section of the configuration file and intialize a "common" ssl context for those services. Note: If all services each specified at least one the the above ssl options, then the no "common" ssl context will be initialized since each service will have its own. In this case, it's still a good idea to put common default ssl options in the global section as each service will inherit these settings even if the service initializes its own ssl context.

Access to a daemon that has SSL abilities

Hi. Can I use stunnel only on a client side, in case on the other side, the server already supports SSL? Will this work for SPOP3 and SMTP\S? 10X! Oren Amiram

[BUG] Stunnel 4.10 + xinetd : Connection reset by peer
by Eric Piel 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

Hello, I've upgraded to stunnel 4.10 yesterday and since this time I can't managed to get stunnel working with xinetd. I try to access a CVS server with ssl encryption. If stunnel is started as stand-alone, it works as before, but when it's started by xinetd all I get is: cvs [update aborted]: reading from server: Connection reset by peer I've attached the connection logs with 4.09 and 4.10 as well as my configuration file (which used to work for more than a year). My xinetd is version 2.3.13 (and I haven't changed it for several months). Please, let me know if I'm overlooking at something or if I can try anything to debug more in depth... Thanks in advance, Eric PS: actually the CVS is accesible from outside, so you might want to try yourself! # Sample stunnel configuration file # Copyright by Michal Trojnara 2002 setuid = root setgid = root # Authentication stuff verify = 2 CAfile = /etc/ssl/stunnel/lifl-cvs.pem # Use it for client mode client = yes #debug = 7 #output = /home/eric/busy/stunnel.log connect = cvs.lifl.fr:2405

Re: Flyspray task #7 - CRLfile is never refreshed
by Kartik Subbarao 27 Aug '05

27 Aug '05

I wanted to follow up on this. Flyspray did not let me add a comment since the bug is closed, so I'm posting to the mailing list. 1. I tried using CRLpath (and setting up the symbolic link properly to the hashed value), but that had the same behavior as CRLfile. It only reads the actual CRL once. If I update the file on disk, it never re-reads the file. So I don't see how this is a workaround. Am I missing something? 2. As I mentioned in my initial report, it is a significant disruption for existing stunnel processes to be killed. If it were possible just to kill the main daemon without also killing the child processes (i.e. like sshd), that could be a workaround. But currently, killing the main stunnel process also kills all child stunnel processes. I guess I don't understand what else one could do in this situation, apart from having the application properly reread the CRL on a regular basis. (OCSP is not yet available). When you say that "that's how openssl works", are you saying that the API does not allow you to reread/reload the CRL file? That seems rather odd. It seems like there should be some kind of way to refresh the OpenSSL data structures that store the CRL. Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.

[stunnel patch] updated transparent proxy on linux 2.6 using cttproxy patch
by MAtteo HCE Valsasna 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

hello folks, here comes an improved version of the transparent proxy patch, basically solving the previous TODO issues. please try it if you are interested in transparent stunnel. any feedback il welcome. the code is heavly based on the examples distributed along with the cttproxy patch, many thanks to Balzs Scheidler for its great work and to Lennert Buytenhek for the skaidrus example program. this code is (re)distributed under the GPL version 2 MAtteo ---README--- cttproxy patch to stunnel MAtteo HCE Valsasna (matteo dot valsasna at uninsubria dot it) based on example code in cttproxy patch ports stunnel transparent proxy to cttproxy kernel patch allow stunnel server to connect to the application server faking the stunnel client's IP source address. the server sees connections coming from the stunnel client's IP address instead of that of the stunnel server, and thus can apply admission control, bandwidth control, logging policies as if the client connected directly. should work 2.4 and 2.6 kernels and 2.0.x cttproxy patch tested with kernel 2.6.12.5 and cttproxy-2.6.12-2.0.2 patch setup: * application server(s): here run the application(s) you want to access trough stunnel must route all traffic, or at least all traffic for transproxyed connections, trough the stunnel server * stunnel server: must not be the same host as the application server grab recent kernel source patch your kernel source with the appropriate cttproxy patch (from http://www.balabit.com/products/oss/tproxy/) configure kernel with: CONFIG_IP_NF_TPROXY=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_TPROXY=m CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_TPROXY=m make and install kernel reboot and choose patched kernel load tproxy kernel modules # modprobe iptable_tproxy # modprobe ipt_tproxy enable ip forwarding (this must act as a router) # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward grab stunnel source and extract it $ tar xzf stunnel-4.11.tar.gz patch it $ patch -p0 < cttproxy.patch configure selecting tproxy support $ ./configure --enable-tproxy make and install $ make # make install run stunnel in server mode with transparent = yes remote = <application server>:<port> in conf file * stunnel client run plain stunnel, client = yes remote = stunnel server * application client may or may not be the same host as the stunnel client connect to stunnel client to talk securely to application server ---PATCH---diff -crb /tmp/stunnel-4.11/configure stunnel-4.11/configure *** /tmp/stunnel-4.11/configure 2005-07-09 23:00:44.000000000 +0200 --- stunnel-4.11/configure 2005-08-25 16:59:57.000000000 +0200 *************** *** 463,469 **** # include <unistd.h> #endif" !

RE: stunnel and OpenSSL v0.9.8 - tunneling the UDP. Possible?
by rz1a＠mail.ru 22 Aug '05

Hello Michal, Just one thought: - if the stunnel on LAN1 joins a group to receive a multicasted stream does it really depend on DTLS's [in]ability to handle the multicasting? I see it this way - on LAN1 a machine running the (first instance of) stunnel joins a group, i.e. stunnel is told to open a socket with all the relevant socket options. Then, another machine on LAN2 (behind NAT + firewall + internet + firewall + NAT) connects to the first stunnel and tells it's own instance of stunnel to open a socket with all the relevant socket options to emit the (apparently) multicasted stream. Please comment. -- Best regards, Tony

[stunnel patch] transparent proxy on linux 2.6 using cttproxy patch
by MAtteo HCE Valsasna 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

hi folks: as suggested in http://www.stunnel.org/faq/transparent.html#ToC3, I modified the stunnel code to use the transparent proxy funcionality on 2.6 (and possibly 2.4) linux kernels with the cttproxy patch (http://www.balabit.com/products/oss/tproxy/, I used )cttproxy-2.6.12-2.0.2. on a clean 2.6.12.5 kernel) the patch is higly incomplete, but it works (see TODO). please try it if you are interested in transparent stunnel. any feedback il welcome. MAtteo the code is heavly based on the examples distributed along with the cttproxy patch, many thanks to Balázs Scheidler for its great work and for making it GPL. with this patch, I was able to run a stunnel in server mode with the transparent option, and the application server I connected to saw the IP address of the stunnel client. of course, this code il also redistributed under the GPL. conditions for running stunnel in transparent mode: if you want to try this patch, you MUST modify the hardcoded IP address in client.c to the IP address of the stunnel server (look for DOIT! in the source code). any improvements wellcome. the stunnel server must run a linux kernel patched with the cttproxy patch the stunnel server and the application server cannot be the same host the application server must believe that it has to route all packets of transparently tunneled connections via the stunnel server. thus the two server should be on the same subnet. I was also able to use linux policy routing to avoid modifying the general routing on the application server: transparently tunneled connections are directed to a different IP on the application server, where a policy rule applies a specific routing table to packets with that source address (see at the end of this message). TODO: stunnel must explicitly bind to an *existing* local address (not loopback) before calling setsockopt(SOL_IP, IP_TPROXY, TPROXY_ASSIGN)"). now the address is hardcoded in the patch, it should automatically find a local address to bind to (or get it from the config file) now the code will only run with tproxy patch version 2.0.2 it should be less strict about tproxy version (make it a configurable option in stunnel?). which tproxy version will it run with?

Hello stunnel-users, OpenSSL from v0.9.8 onwards (I'm told) supports a thing called DTLS. On the OpenSSL's list I was told that it's the tool one needs to use for UDP tunneling. Are there any plans to use this OpenSSL's functionality in the stunnel? I need to securely tunnel the UDP traffic, namely multicasted datagramms. -- Best regards, Tony.

Folks, I'm in need of some help in setting up stunnel on windows, I get either Error reading certificate file: {path}/stunnel.pem {path}/stunnel.pem: No such process (3) So I am assuming the second error {path}/stunnel.pem: No such process (3) the path statement is correct and therefore something else is not correct but I have no idea where and what Regards Paul

Stunnel HTTPS Client Issue
by Salar Madadi 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

Hello, We are having a problem with our application using STUNNEL and are stuck. I have detailed the issue below with more detailed info about our setup. I am not very familiar with the SSL protocol so I am having trouble identifying the differences between the log samples I posted to determine what the issue may be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Salar Madadi - Latest Developments Inc. Problem Description ************************************ We are using Stunnel to provide an HTTPS client for use with the UPS ShipXML service. Our application is an xBase++ 1.82 service using the XB2.NET library, running on a windows 2003 server. The application opens a connection to stunnel, which then connects to the UPS https server to send and retrieve an xml response with shipping data. UPS made a change to their service last week related to load balancing and our application has not worked since then. When we send an XML document to UPS we receive the exact same XML document back as if it has been bounced instead of the proper response. Our setup was working until they made the change and they have no idea what is going on. Stunnel Version ***************************************** The problem initially happened with stunnel v. 4.05 and openSSL v. 0.9.7c. I have also tried it with stunnel v. 4.11 and openSSL v. 0.9.7f and the same result occurs. Stunnel.conf settings *********************************** #Stunnel server configuration file key=stunnel.pem #up this number to 7 to get full log details #leave it at 3 to just get critical error messages debug=7 output=test.log client=yes verify=0 [psuedo-https] accept = 8080 connect = www.ups.com:443 TIMEOUTclose = 0 Stunnel log samples ************************************** Here are some log samples.

Any examples of Stunnel usage in "enterprise environments"?
by Claus Lund 06 Aug '05

06 Aug '05

Hi everybody, I was just wondering if there are any public examples of widespread Stunnel usage in an enterprise environments? I'm a UNIX admin where I work and we are currently working on trying to find a solution for encrypting all network traffic to and from the UNIX machines (all the clients are using Windows boxes). We are running a variety of services on the boxes including Samba, homegrown services for our 3-tier app, Oracle, DB2 etc... I already have proof of concept setups for every network service that we offer but I think some "real-world examples" would go a long to convince my boss (and the Windows admins) that Stunnel is a viable option for us. Thank you in advance, Claus

Many times people have written in pointing out problems with stunnel crashing, dumping core, locking up, yet all you can offer is 'never report problems with older versions', 'you have no right to complain', etc etc, and now you have the arrogance to tell us all we have no clue how to report bugs. I get the feeling you are upset because so many of us discover problems with this software. Andrew

Stunnel dumping core
by Stephen Tanner 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

I've been running stunnel to tunnel syslog-ng messages to a loghost. On some occasions, be it a network maintenance issue or fluke, if a server loses connection to the loghost, stunnel starts spewing broken pipe messages to syslog. Sometimes shutting it down while it is doing this, it will dump core. Anyone have an idea on what might be causing this? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Stephen Tanner HP-UX Systems Administrator Network Support Services Lee County Clerk of Courts =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Error resolving '...' (Windows)
by Oliver Ackermann (infowing AG) 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

On a Windows 2000 machine I always get the following error when I try to start stunnel (4.11): Error resolving 'x.y.z.23': Neither nodename nor servname known (EAI_NONAME) The client should connect to a server using SSL. x.y.z.23 is a static IP address of the client. The client has multiple IP addresses and stunnel should use this one to connect to the server. Contents of stunnel.conf: client=yes [service] local=x.y.z.23 accept=12345 connect=server:12345 Why does stunnel try to "resolve" this IP? Is the configuration correct? Thanks for your help! Oliver

ftp support for stunnel-4.11 (still has errors, do not know why)
by ZHUANG YUYAO 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

hi, here is the initial patch (pre-pre-pre-alpha! just a demo/test) for adding ftp support to stunnel-4.11. Known bugs: 1) only tested under linux. debian 3.1 (testing), gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13) 2) ftp_alloc_port() in ftp.c is not yet finished. just a demo; 3) only works when configured with --with-threads=ucontext. does not work with --with-threads=pthread! 4) libwrap support is not tested. 5) only tested with flashfxp (3.0.2 build(1043) implicit SSL); 6) still contains memory leaks. 7) can only successfully transfer(RETR) small files whose size is less than about 90K bytes. stunnel hangs while transferring a larger file, looks like poll() in scan_waiting_queue() (network.c line 164) can not receive a POLLOUT event from ssl_wfd->fd after successfully transfered 90K bytes. the log file is also included in this mail. bug #7 really frustrats me. still do not know why. could anyone please give me some hints?

some thoughts of add ftp server proxy support to stunnel4. comments required
by ZHUANG YUYAO 30 Jul '05

30 Jul '05

Hi, I am thinking about adding ftp protocol support to stunnel4. first, some restrictions to simplify the implimentation: 1) only support for stunnel running in server mode, users can use ftp clients which support ssl connection (ie. FlashFXP) to connect to the real ftp server through stunnel daemon; 2) only support standalone service mode of stunnel. (inted support may be added later, I've just read the source code related to standalone service, and have not got any clue about how to support inetd.) 3) only support FTP implicit SSL and PASSIVE mode; the code may look like this: (the real ftp server is at 192.168.10.254, listening on port 21.) 1) start a stunnel daemon nonmally with accept = 990, remote = 192.168.10.254:21, protocol = ftp; 2) when a connection come in, parse the ftp server response, search for "227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,10,254,133,22)", then got the data connection IP: 192.168.10.254 PORT: 34070; 3) plus 1 to the data connction port 34070, then we got 34071 which will be used as stunnel accept port; 4) create a LOCAL_OPTIONS structure instance opt (prototypes.h) dynamically, set opt->accept=1, opt->local_addr same to the parent stunnel, change its port to 34071, opt->remote_addr = real data connection (IP: 192.168.10.254 PORT: 34070); opt->fd = socket(), bind(); 5) set local_option->next = opt; 6) s_poll_add (&fds, opt->fd, 1, 0); (stunnel.c) (the local variable fds needs to be changed to a global variable, by the way, I think it is also required if stunnel want real SIGHUP configuration-on-the-fly support) 7) changed server response to "227 Entering Passive Mode (STUNNEL_LOCAL_HOST,133,23)", then send back to client. 8) the client will then connect to STUNNEL_LOCAL_HOST port = 34071, negotiate SSL session and send/receive data; 9) after ftp session finished (How to know a ftp session is finished?), free the dynamic LOCAL_OPTIONS opt, remove opt->fd from fds, close the data sessoin. There are only two source file (stunnel.c, protocol.c) need to be modified to implement these functions. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you. Zhuang Yuyao 2005/7/28

Configuration and startup?
by JACK ROBERT BIESIADECKI 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

Hi, I am new to stunnel and Linux. I am trying to set up a secure connection to a server which can be accessed from any web browser on a designated port. I need to be able to access a web browser server administration interface, this is over http, I need to make this an https connection. I have compiled and installed stunnel on a Linux machine (FC4) but can't seem to get any response from it or make it work. If anyone can explain, step by step, how to configure stunnel for general https usage, it would be greatly appreciated. I have looked through the documentation but I have not been able to get it to work. I have also noticed that webmin supports stunnel but there is nothing in it. I added this to the conf file: [https] accept = 8080 connect = 28477 TIMEOUTclose = 0 Thanks

3.x branch updates
by Brian Hatch 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

As y'all can probably see, I've started climbing out from the rock under which I've been living (the rock called "too many kids".) If there are folks who have issues or bugs in stunnel 3.x, let's get talking off list so we can make another release. I'd like to include only security or bug fixes. The 4.x branch is totally fine, and I see no reason to add new features to the 3.x branch. This would be one of at most a few last bug fix releases for the 3.x branch so I can lay it to rest. -- Brian Hatch "Look, somebody's got to have Systems and some damn perspective around Security Engineer here.

Linux pppd VPN network notwork very well
by Colin McKinnon 27 Jul '05

27 Jul '05

Hi all, I've got two two LANs behind masquerading routers that I've linked via a stunnel + pppd vpn. When it works, it works, but I've got a couple of problems - has anybody out there in Stunnel Land managed to fix / workaround these? 1) The connection goes down fairly regluarly. I've setup a cron job to move a few packets back and forth to make sure that the ADSL connection at both ends stays up (pppd set not do demand stuff). There's nothing in the logs to suggest that the ADSL *is* going down, but I thought it would eliminate a lot of possibilities. (see log entries below). Currently the link is going down at lesat once per day. Uptime varies greatly. I can't see anyway of asking stunnel to try again if the pppd exits (see conf below) other than manually restarting it. I'm hoping to scale the VPN up to multiple sites - with one connection, I can just do /etc/rc.d/stunnel restart - but if I've got multiple instances of stunnel running with different configs it gets a bit messy to reset a single connection. I did think about having multiple hard links to the stunnel binary, so each VPN will have a different process name attached to it, but this strikes me as a bit of a hack. 2) bandwidth on the link is poor. I consistently get 1/4 of the bandwidth (measured using scp to copy largish files) compared with bypassing the stunnel/pppd pair (same route between LANs). While I expected some overhead, this seems rather a lot. 3) latency is a lot higher too 4) The VPN seems to stutter more regularly than the direct connection ...I mean that I don't seem to be getting any traffic for 5-10 seconds then it resumes without any loss of data (e.g. when using ssh). The routers at either end are relatively dumb so (as I understand it) there's not many options for using IPIP or GRE tunnelling). Anybody got any suggestions as to how I can make it (particularly) more reliable and (also) a bit faster?

newbie q: stunnel -d and -r options
by Jagannadha Bhattu 27 Jul '05

27 Jul '05

I was reading a book where they discussed using stunnel as client and server proxy with -d -r and -c options. I have SuSE 9.3 and the stunnel on it has different options. Then I found that we have to use config file. I used it to configure my server. I defined the following section: [myserver] accept = 12345 connect = 12323 Here my server listens on 12323. I have my server already running. Now I typed stunnel and nothing happened. I typed "pgrep stunnel" and could not see anything. Apparently I have not understood how stunnel works. Can some one let me know how can I configure to use stunnel to secure my server app and my client app which are not ssl aware. I also have a question. The book which I am reading says, stunnel acts as a proxy for a server app. If my server app is listening on A then if I want stunnel to service all clients connecting to A then how can it do it as that port is already serviced by my server app. Thanks JB

samba over stunnel performance
by Brian Szymanski 26 Jul '05

26 Jul '05

Howdy... I'm trying to run samba over stunnel on a wireless connection. Here's the setup: unix box <- wifi -> windows laptop Unfortunately, reading files from the shared drive is extremely slow. If I look at the stunnel box on my windows machine, it is pumping out about 20 messages/second that say: LOG7[2140:3636]: SSL_read returned WANT_READ: retrying On two >1GHz machines, this is utilizing about 5% of cpu, and 4% of the 11Mbps link. Clearly there is room for improvement here! I tried poking around with stunnel.conf on the server to no avail - specifically, I commented out the lines: ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ;compression = rle And restarted stunnel - same miserable performance (roughly the same throughput, and resource usage). Is there something about the SMB protocol that would cause stunnel to not deal with it well? If so, is there a configuration option somewhere I can tune, or do I have to RTFS & hack it to get decent performance here? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Problems compiling on AIX5.2 -- ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .inflateEnd

25 Jul '05

Hi everybody, I am trying to get stunnel 4.11 compiled on my AIX boxes but I am not having much luck. I am using GCC 3.3.2 on AIX 5.2. OpenSSL has been compiled and is working on those same boxes (OpenSSL 0.9.8). I configured stunnel using: root@tax178:/tmp/stunnel/stunnel-4.11 # ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc/stunnel --prefix=/usr/local --disable-libwrap And everything seems to go OK during the config steps. When I try to build stunnel it comes up with a series of warnings and eventually dies with a bunch of errors.

Poll Problem
by John O'Fallon 24 Jul '05

24 Jul '05

I have confirmed that the problem I reported last week (on Mac OS X, streams are truncated with a reported "s_poll_wait returned 1, but no descriptor is ready" error) can be corrected by using the older "select" versions of the network functions. I did this by tweaking the source, but would like to make the fix as cleanly as possible, so... Sorry if this is in the docs (I couldn't find it), but what is the best way to disable the poll option?

Question regarding SSL v2/v3
by vasudha.upadhyaya＠convergys.com 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

We have been using Stunnel 4.05 now for quite sometime now with OpenSSL 0.97d.I had a question regarding the SSL Version.When I look into the Stunnel.log I see Negotiated ciphers: AES256-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA1 This means that stunnel is using AES-256-SHA1 which uses SSL v3. Is it standard for stunnel4.05 to use SSL v3 or is it dependent on the OpenSSL Version. We haven't configured anything in the stunnel.conf to use SSL v3. Thanks, Vasudha. -------------------------------------------- Vasudha Upadhyaya Convergys Speech Solutions Ph:703-885-5837 vasudha.upadhyaya(a)convergys.com -- "NOTICE: The information contained in this electronic mail transmission is intended by Convergys Corporation for the use of the named individual or entity to which it is directed and may contain information that is privileged or otherwise confidential.

Problem with mysql
by lmarcilly＠aressi.fr 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

Hi all, i try to encrypt mysql connections... I saw this : http://www.stunnel.org/examples/mysql.html but i use stunnel4.x. I configure it on my windows box and it work well! (mysql server is on a linux box, i have configure stunnel as a server on this box) when i try mysql -u user --password=xyz it works but i have to made it work on a linux box. I use the same config file for stunnel, but when i try mysql -u user --password=xyz i have : Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' This socket doesn't exist since there is no MySQL server on the box. I try with --protocol=TCP but it won't work, i have : Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' Do you have an idea? Do you want more details on my config file for stunnel? Thanks in advance and sorry for my english! lm

SSL Session Cache and HTTPS performance
by Daniel Hamburg 19 Jul '05

19 Jul '05

Hello everybody, I hope I didn't muss an existing thread about this question, but I wasn't able to find one. At least none where I found an answer, although my question is quite simple. I would like to test the performance difference between enabled and disabled SSLCaching. I use a configuration file for Stunnel 4.11 (daemon mode) where I tell it to accept incoming connections on port 444 and direct them to a local web-server on port 80. Because STunnel uses Caching by default, I tried to tell STunnel to disable SSL Caching by setting session = 0 in the configuration file, which resulted in an error when starting the program. I looked at the code and found that there is a check so that the session parameter can not be equal to 0. I disabled the check and started stunnel again which seemed to work. But taking a look at the packets exchanged via a browser and the server resulted in the conclusion that caching is still enabled. My simple question is, how I can disable the Caching. Another question is if anyone of you has made any performance tests regarding STunnel in combination with an Apache HTTP server on the same machine. I'm specially interested in modes to get this combination run faster. And now please do not tell me to use mod_ssl. :) Thanks in advance.

smtps problem on Fedora Core 4

Hi, I am trying to get the smtps solution described on http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/answers.php?action=viewarticle&arti… working on my server. Basically I want my users on Windows XP boxes to get their mail from 127.0.0.1:100 and send their mail to 127.0.0.1:25 I have gotten as far as having the users able to get mails. That is I have stunnel on a windows box, with a configuration file like this: client = yes debug = debug cert = pemfile.pem [pop3s] accept = localhost:110 connect = my.domain.com:995 [smtps] accept = localhost:25 connect = my.domain.com:465 And a telnet to port 110 on the lookback interface gives me access to the pop server. Så I am guessing that the certificates etc. are working correctly. As for the smtps I am using xinetd, and have tried with various configurations. Here is one of the one's that didn't work: service smtps { disable = no socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/stunnel server_args = -v3 -rlocalhost:25 log_on_success += HOST DURATION log_on_failure += HOST ATTEMPT } Any ideas as to how to setup my xinetd file (or is there a better solution?) # stunnel -version stunnel 4.08 on i386-redhat-linux-gnu PTHREAD+POLL+IPv4+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.7f 22 Mar 2005 Global options cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH debug = 5 key = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes session = 300 seconds verify = none Service-level options TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds Kind regards, Anders
