compressed stunnel?
by jonathan.wilson 06 Nov '04

Hi all, I found some references to compression options in openssl.org - specifically to the SSL_COMP_add_compression_method() routine. Is there any way to invoke/use this from stunnel? Thanks, Jonathan Wilson

Re: stunnel consumes 99% cpu at HPUX
by Gavin Ho 06 Nov '04

Mike, thanks for your information. Each of our HPUX machines has 2 CPUs. Actually, before post my problem on this mailing list, I tried to search on Google but can't find any hints to solve the problem. Then I tried to browse the stunnel 4.0.5 source code and can't find any hints too. But I noticed that someone said on some historical newsgroup postings the problem may be related to openssl. Do you think thats true? I will wait for the version 4.0.6 and hope it can solve my problem. Cheers, Gavin -- ___________________________________________________________ Sign-up for Ads Free at Mail.com http://promo.mail.com/adsfreejump.htm

stunnel consumes 99% cpu at HPUX
by gykho＠ogcio.gov.hk 04 Nov '04

04 Nov '04

Hi All, We set up stunnel from two linux machines located at DMZ to a HPUX cluster located at Private Zone. There is firewall in between. We use stunnel to encrypt Tomcat AJP traffic from apache web servers on linux machines to JBoss app server a HPUX cluster. The stunnel run at HPUX cluster was started as deamon mode and listened on a cluster failover IP instead of host IP. We found that the stunnel process at HPUX cluster consumed 99% CPU after run for a few days (started at Oct 26 10:26 and it was reported 99% CPU at Oct 29 23:00, under a very low traffic. Can anyone help? The debug log at HPUX is also attached, as shown in the log there was no requeset on Oct29 but the CPU still shot up to 99%.

Perhaps I wasn't quite as clear as I intended.. :) I'm not suggesting that SSL over UDP should be done.. I'm suggesting that stunnel could potentially act as a UDP-over-encrypted-TCP gateway. For example: (For the moment, lets focus on syslog data): Pre-stunnel: Server 1 Sends syslog messages to UDP port 514 on Server 2. Server1 and Server2 both then install stunnel: Server1: Syslog messages are redirected to localhost UDP port 514 (rather than Server2 UDP port 514). Server1: Stunnel listens on UDP port 514, and sends encrypted data to Server2 on TCP port 12345 Server2: Stunnel listens on TCP port 12345, decrypts the data, and sends to localhost UDP port 514. This way, stunnel acts as the UDP to TCP (encrypted) to UDP gateway - in a similar way that it can currently act as a pure TCP -> TCP (encrypted) -> TCP gateway. Regards, Leigh.

UDP end-points

Establishing a SSL connection over UDP would be pretty tough, but has anyone thought about the possibility of allowing the 'listen' and 'destination' points to be UDP ports, with the main comms routed over TCP? This would effectively accomplish what most UDP requestors need. I was thinking along the lines of: Server1 (source): client = yes [syslogcrypt] # listen on udp port 514 for syslog messages uaccept = 514 # connect to remote stunnel TCP port 5140 connect = 5140 - - - - - Server2 (destination): client = no [syslogcrypt] # listen on 5140 accept = 5140 # connect to local udp port 514 uconnect = 514 Logic would be along the lines of: if client = yes and uconnect is used, then die (or assume they meant tcp). if client = no and uaccept is used, then die (or assume tcp). it should be reasonably easy to add a flag into LOCAL_OPTIONS somewhere, so that it opens a UDP server/client - along the lines of (mangled out of a simple udp server app I wrote): int sockfd,rbind; struct sockaddr_in serv_addr, client_addr; int port,sockopt=1; char buffer[1234]; if((sockfd=socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM,0))<0) { fprintf(stderr,"UDP Server: errno = %d\n", errno); fprintf(stderr,"Cannot open datagram socket\n"); exit(1); } setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, &sockopt, sizeof(sockopt)); // check that ports are available, and files exist? bzero((char *) &serv_addr, sizeof(serv_addr)); serv_addr.sin_family = AF_INET; serv_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY); serv_addr.sin_port = htons(portnumber); if((rbind = bind(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *) &serv_addr, sizeof(serv_addr))) < 0) { fprintf(stderr,"Port is not available. Exiting.\n"); exit(2); } while(1) { length=recvfrom(sockfd,buffer,sizeof(buffer)-1,0,(struct sockaddr *) &client_addr,&addrlen); } Any thoughts? Regards, Leigh.

VPN with windows
by Angelo Raspanti 30 Oct '04

30 Oct '04

I have experimented with succes to use stunnel for make a VPN between two PC with linux.It work with start pppd on both sides when the SSL negotiation is termined with success. At this time server and client sides launch the pppd daemon and the connecction with IP address read from pppd command line (written in config file of stunnel) is made. To make a VPN with two linux BOX is easily ! But if one of the two sides is a Windows plattaform ? I think that the use of this tecnique is noot possible. How to make un VPN between a Linux Plattaform and a Windows plattaform ? Is possible ? Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english

Managed to sort this issue out by upgrading my JVM to 1.5.0 and adding the certificated in under the Java control panel. Ran into another problem afterwards with my application generating an UNKNOWN PROTOCOL error on the 3rd TCP session after successfully accepting the first two... very strange. I think I'm going to have to give up on the idea of using Java's or IE's SSL system and use Stunnel as a client too. Found a great GUI for Stunnel on Mac OS X called SSL Enabler, shame theres not one as nice for Windows!

permanent tunnel
by Ramin Dousti 29 Oct '04

29 Oct '04

Hello, I'd like to set up an stunnel between two hosts which currently talk to each other unencrypted. The communication between these two hosts is HTTP and sporadic. What I'd like to achieve is a permanent stunnel between the hosts regardless of their communiucation pattern. Is this possible? And if yes, how? The current setup utilizes stunnel in server mode on the server side and stunnel in client mode on the client side. When a client issues a request, I see that an SSL tunnel is set up between the hosts and after the reception of the reply, the SSL tunnel is torn down. So, the question is, how can I nail down the SSL tunnel to be permanent? Thank you in advance, Ramin

SSL read returned WANT_: retrying
by Hacker, Dietmar 29 Oct '04

29 Oct '04

Has anybody a solution to this problem ? There was a thread about this msg in June. I am using a central Source staging server for my windows applications accessed via stunnel from remote over a Linux stunnel on the Internet gateway. Centrally I use SuSE Linux 8.2 with stunnel 4.04 and on the clients the current 4.05 windows binary version (also does not work with the older 4.04 windows binary version). The "SourceSave" Software does a directory comparision and then a download of all changed components. Without stunnel no problem. With stunnel after some traffic I always get "SSL returned WANT_: retrying" in the stunnel window and then the software stops downloading. Mit freundlichen Gruessen / With regards Dipl. Ing.

Session resumption

I use Stunnel 4.03 I have been working on a project with some slow POS equipment trying to do SSL connections. Because of the slow processors on these devices, we are trying to speed up the connection and transaction. The concept of "session resumption" came up. What is the best way to setup Stunnel to make subsequent connections faster with session resumption.

Outlook has problems with sending email
by Kenneth Simpson 27 Oct '04

27 Oct '04

Hi - I'm having problems with Stunnel 4.05 and Outlook - but not with Mozilla/Thunderbird. Unfortantely, most of our users use Outlook from Office 2000 and Office XP. The problem is Outlook can't send email when using SIMAP/SSMTP. If the remote users set their SMTP server to be their ISP, then Outlook doesn't have a problem. It suggests a sendmail issue except Mozilla/Thunderbird work fine. How do most people configure stunnel for Outlook? We're behind a screening router and port 587 - the so-called sendmail "submission" port - is currently closed. All ICMP is administratively disabled for this host at the router. But sendmail on this particular host is configured for port 587 behind the firewall. Is there a need to configure stunnel for port 587 too? We're using OpenSSL 0.9.7d Sendmail 8.12.10 Stunnel 4.0.5 SPARC Solaris 5.8 Enclosed is the stunnel.conf file. Under version 3.x roughly year ago things appeared to be working correctly - but we've upgraded both sendmail and SSL since then - and our users where migrating from Outlook Express to Outlook. Any ideas? I've added the options options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS TIMEOUTbusy = 300 TIMEOUTclose = 60 TIMEOUTidle = 43200 but no help. Any help would greatly appreciated! -- Ken

stunnel with netcat.
by Graeme Stewart 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

I'm hoping someone on this list will take the time to help me. I apologize for the newbie nature of this question. I'm trying to create an SSL stunnel connection to an https URL then utilize netcat to send requests through that previously established link. I believe this should be possible. My configuration file includes: verify=0 client=yes [https] accept=localhost:8080 connect=www.remotesite.com:443 TIMEOUTEclose=0 transparent=yes Whenever I run: # stunnel stunnel.config # nc -vv localhost 8080 I receive a connection refused error from netcat. Could someone point me in the right direction? I did review the examples on stunnel.org but they all seem to reference an earlier version of stunnel. Thanks, Graeme

Stunnel and streaming audio
by grimholtz＠mailbolt.com 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

Hi, I'm using stunnel 4.05 on Windows 2000 for both client and server. I have VNC working just fine over port 443. Now I want to stream audio from the server to the client over port 21 with stunnel and any streaming audio server. I can't get this to work. I'm currently using Windows Media Encoder for streaming because it is simple and free, but I don't mind switching to SHOUTcast or something else. This is the stunnel server configuration: CAfile = CAcert.pem CApath = certificates cert = server.pem client = no verify = 3 [vnc] accept = 443 connect = 127.0.0.1:15351 [audiostream] accept = 21 connect = 127.0.0.1:80 On the client-side, I have this configuration: CAfile = CAcert.pem CApath = certificates cert = client.pem client = yes verify = 3 [vnc] accept = 127.0.0.1:15351 connect = someurl.com:443 [audiostream] accept = 127.0.0.1:80 connect = someurl.com:21 VNC works fine but streaming audio does not. It doesn't matter if I change port 21 to something else; I get the same error. The output on the server-side stunnel console is: 2004.10.18 13:16:02 LOG5[2036:1732]: audiostream connected from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:59090 The output on the client-side stunnel console is: 2004.10.18 13:21:07 LOG5[1088:1300]: audiostream connected from 127.0.0.1:1467 2004.10.18 13:21:07 LOG3[1088:1300]: SSL_connect: Peer suddenly disconnected stunnel -version on the server-side displays this info: stunnel 4.05 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu WIN32 with OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 Global options cert = stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH debug = 5 key = stunnel.pem RNDbytes = 64 RNDoverwrite = yes service = stunnel session = 300 seconds taskbar = yes verify = none Service-level options TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds 2004.10.18 20:47:05 LOG3[1316:2092]: Server is down openssl version on the server-side displays this info: OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 Anyone have ideas?

Client certificates still valid after removal with verify = 3
by Michael Brown 18 Oct '04

18 Oct '04

I'm having a problem with my stunnel 4.05 setup: We are using a setup where each client that connects has to have a valid certificate present on the filesystem (verify = 3). After the client connects once, it seems that the certificate is cached by either the SSL libraries or stunnel: stunnel.conf: <<< cert = /etc/stunnel/servercert.pem CAfile = /usr/share/ssl/CA/cacert.pem CApath = /etc/stunnel/clientdb verify = 3 [https] accept = 443 connect = remote.server.name:443 local = 192.168.0.6 >>> Some output: Oct 15 19:36:34 machine stunnel[14139]: VERIFY OK: depth=1, /C=CA/ST=Ontario/L=Here/O=Us/OU=Bigwigs/CN=CA Cert/emailAddress=certainly(a)here.com Oct 15 19:36:34 fruitfly stunnel[14139]: VERIFY OK: depth=0, /C=CA/ST=Ontario/O=Us/OU=slackers anonymous/CN=Daniel Unceman/emailAddress=dunce(a)here.com ... and the same thing after I remove the hash link in /etc/stunnel/clientdb. But only after I restart does it to the right thing: Oct 15 19:40:24 fruitfly stunnel[15247]: VERIFY OK: depth=1, /C=CA/ST=Ontario/L=Here/O=Us/OU=Bigwigs/CN=CA Cert/emailAddress=certainly(a)here.com Oct 15 19:40:24 fruitfly stunnel[15247]: VERIFY ERROR ONLY MY: no cert for /C=CA/ST=Ontario/O=Us/OU=slackers anonymous/CN=Daniel Unceman/emailAddress=dunce(a)here.com Help!

Stunnel V4.05 error with rsync
by craig hobbs 12 Oct '04

12 Oct '04

Hello, I am using stunnel v4.05 with rsync v2.6.0 and solaris9 as both my client and server machine. I am running rsync in daemon mode on the server and starting an rsync transfer on the client. I am getting a frequent error where my rsync client process just appears to hang. On the client side I will receive several 'SSL_read returned WANT_: retrying/SSL_write returned WANT_: retrying' messages back-to-back and then finally the message is always 'Socket closed on read'. Some data does get transferred but it appears from the messages that the socket looses its connection, and the the rsync process just hangs until time-out. Currently in no-blocking mode with the following limits: FD_SETSIZE=1024, file ulimit=2147483647 -> 500 clients allowed Is there any stunnel bug or system resource limit that could be the problem ??

connection timeout
by SqM 10 Oct '04

10 Oct '04

Hi! I have an application that itself has the possibility to use a backup server. I.e config of primary and secondary server. I have set up the application to connect to localhost on 2 different ports ( 1000 and 1001 ) and each of the ports are forwarded to a primary and secondary server. When testing this setup i find that if i route packets to the primary server to /dev/null in order for the application to select the secondary server the application seems to be happy since stunnel answers. After aproxx 300 seconds i can see in the log that stunnel gives up and that the application sees this. The appliation then happily selects the secondary server. The question then is if it is possible to make stunnel a little bit faster in giving up.. I.e. perhaps 30 sec instead of 300 sec. I found one setting in the client config that seems to do this but the question is.. Is this the correct way to do it.. I.e. setting "TIMEOUTbusy = 30 seconds" seems to fix my problem but is this the rigth way or is there a better way? /Sqm

Stunnel question
by Rick Cone, Secure Payment Systems 06 Oct '04

06 Oct '04

I use Stunnel as a server that connects locally to a port with an application running (called Mlink). The software on that port will only allow 1 connection on the port at a time, not achieving a (true) socket server environment. Does anyone know of a piece of software (like a load balancer) that would accept connections on a specific port (from Stunnel in this case...), and then round-robin connections (or something thereof) to a set of ports? Thanks, Rick Cone Secure Payment Systems 801 8th St. #150-D Greeley, CO 80631 970-352-9434 (office) 970-352-0122 (fax, call office first) rcone(a)securepaymentsystems.com Note: This electronic message and attachments, if any, contain information which is intended solely for the designated recipients.

Problem running Stunnel

06 Oct '04

When I run stunnel nothing seems to be happening. The terminal accepts = the command but does nothing. The log file doesn't produce any output = either nor does running stunnel in the foreground. As I understand it, I am trying to wrap my imapd server using stunnel. = Obviously installed imapd, and openssl.=20 In my config file I've got [imaps] accept =3D 993 exec =3D /usr/local/libexec/imapd execargs =3D imapd What is meant to happen when I run stunnel, is there a way that I can = test if it is working. I previously tested imapd using telnet 0 143. I'm = using this=20 http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Workbench/eart.4.0.html article but its out of date, uses 3.x command line inputs, so I've tried = to convert those to the config file.

stunnel dies on win32 - Try again with out HTML
by Richard Whiffen 05 Oct '04

05 Oct '04

We have a problem where stunnel dies on our Win32 boxes when we attempt load tests: stunnel 4.05 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu WIN32 with OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 Global options cert = stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH debug = 5 key = stunnel.pem RNDbytes = 64 RNDoverwrite = yes service = stunnel session = 300 seconds taskbar = yes verify = none Service-level options TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds When we had one stunnel.cnf for all services it would crash almost imediately (less than a minute after starting the load). When we created separate processes for each target server it lasts longer, 5 to 10 minutes, but still dies. The frustrating part is we get no indications in the log files of what's going on. It dies in seemingly random spots. The last log entry is never the same and there's nothing in the cmd window that launched it to indicate what happened. The conf is fairly simple: #script test conf cert = \stunnel\ohetestisg1.pem Cafile = \stunnel\css-ca-cert.pem CApath = \stunnel\certs output = \stunnel\stunnel-media.log #verify = 3 client = yes debug = 7 [**mediaserver] accept = 127.0.0.3:80 connect = 10.162.130.26:444 TIMEOUTclose = 0 We're connecting to a Cisco Content Server Switch if that helps. So I'm wondering where to go next. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

stunnel: command not found
by Robin Martin 24 Sep '04

24 Sep '04

Hi Guys, I am trying to install stunnel-4.05 on Mac 10.2.8. I am following this http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Workbench/eart.4.0.html article. I am up to Step 8: Testing your setup. The article is old, but I am aware that stunnel 4.* requires a configuration file rather than command line inputs. My config file is [imapd] accept = 993 exec = /usr/local/libexec/imapd execargs = imaps My problem is, when I run (taken from the article) sudo stunnel -c -f -r localhost:993 I get the following, stunnel: command not found Can I use command line arguments here? It seems to be a very non-specific error. While hunting around for an answer I read somewhere else that stunnel likes to die silently? So perhaps I am doing something wrong but getting a vague error message? Is there a log file that I can look at? Thank you for any help, it is appreciated and I hope I've provided sufficient information.

Pass phrase dialog

When I start stunnel 4.05, I am presented with a dialog that requests that I enter a pass phrase in order to access our private key. Is there anyway to bypass this dialog. I would like to add the pass phrase to the config file, so that the dialog isn't presented. Security isn't an issue. Our config file will be in a secure location. Otherwise, our operations people are going the have to know the pass phrase to start stunnel. Thanks for your help.

unclosed connection issue
by Ken G 15 Sep '04

15 Sep '04

I'm running stunnel 3.xx with thttpd (an embedded http server) on a small embedded machine on a pci card running linux. Establishing ssh, ftp, and http connections and using OpenSSL has all worked fine since they've been installed. I've been experiencing a strange issue. It seems that stunnel fails (somehow) to inform https clients that the connection has been closed. The sequence of events that I'm observing goes like this: T+0.0s: https client initiates request on port 443 (https). T+0.1s: stunnel establishes connection with thttpd on port 80. T+0.4s: thttpd finishes and dies, closing connection with stunnel. T+0.5s: stunnel finishes sending thttpd's output to its client, and then stops, believing that it has finished that connection. If forked, this copy of stunnel dies. The client (internet explorer, firefox, mozilla... doesn't matter) still believes that the connection is active, and waits for additional data. T+10.5s: Roughly 10 seconds later the client decides that the server timed out and displays what has been sent so far, which is the entire page. The only visible symptom is that small webpages seem to take 10 seconds to load. The visible symptom, then, is that webpages below a certain size (where that size is determined by the browser's willingness to refresh its view as data is being sent) take about 10 seconds to load. Is it possible that this behavior is due to stunnel? _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Express yourself with Y! Messenger! Free. Download now. http://messenger.yahoo.com
