keyfile is not encrypted
by Madhava Gaikwad (madgaikw) 15 Jul '15

15 Jul '15

Hello, I am asking too much, but keyfile with stunnel is required to be stored on disk (I am aware about file permission applied) and is in plain text. Is there any way we can encrypt the keyfile and then store, and then subsequently ask stunnel to obtain the decryption key somehow and then use it. For encryption/decryption of the key, stunnel (or some other program) can give network based ability(service over socket) to provide the key so key can be encrypted by the third party(who generates the config for stunnel). Stunnel config option will specify key is encrypted and therefore stunnel knows why and how to decrypt it. Of course you will ask me to implement my own custom algo for this, but I am checking if anybody has thought about it or in such case, how they have worked on it. I was told, there is also basic level of FIPS compliance requirement that requires key not to be stored on disk in plain text irrespective of file permission. Thank you. Madhava

help on options and sslversion
by Madhava Gaikwad (madgaikw) 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

Hi, I am using stunnel 5.03 version. I want to understand how the config option "sslVersion " and "options " works. The problem I am trying to solve is: I want to enable say only particular ssl connect methods, for example sslv3 and TLs1.2. I am not able to do it. For me if I do below setting: Options = all Option = NO_SSLv2 Option = NO_SSLv3 Option = NO_TLSv1 Option = NO_TLSv1.1 Option = NO_TLSv1.2 Still I see all methods are being enabled. I removed Option = all, but no effect. What is expected behavior? Also, The sslVersion seems enables either particular sslversion, or else all the versions. So wondering what can be the escape mechanism. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you. Madhava

"make check" tries to build Windows binary on Unix
by Dagobert Michelsen 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

Hi, I just tries to build stunnel 5.20 on Solaris 10 Sparc and noticed a strange behaviour during „make check“ which yields in a try to build Windows executables: > dam@unstable10s [unstable10s]:/home/dam/mgar/pkg/stunnel/trunk/work/solaris10-sparc/build-isa-sparcv8plus/stunnel-5.20 > gmake check > Making check in src > gmake[1]: Entering directory '/home/dam/mgar/pkg/stunnel/trunk/work/solaris10-sparc/build-isa-sparcv8plus/stunnel-5.20/src' > gmake stunnel.exe tstunnel.exe > gmake[2]: Entering directory '/home/dam/mgar/pkg/stunnel/trunk/work/solaris10-sparc/build-isa-sparcv8plus/stunnel-5.20/src' > i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -c -I/usr/src/openssl-1.0.2d-i686/include -mthreads -fstack-protector -O2 -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic -Wformat=2 -Wconversion -Wno-long-long -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -DUNICODE -D_UNICODE -o tls.obj tls.c > /bin/bash: i686-w64-mingw32-gcc: command not found > Makefile:1206: recipe for target 'tls.obj' failed > gmake[2]: *** [tls.obj] Error 127 > gmake[2]: Leaving directory '/home/dam/mgar/pkg/stunnel/trunk/work/solaris10-sparc/build-isa-sparcv8plus/stunnel-5.20/src' > Makefile:1054: recipe for target 'check-am' failed I think this comes from these lines in src/Makefile.am: > # Just check if the programs can be built, don't perform any actual tests > check_PROGRAMS = stunnel.exe tstunnel.exe Essentially the „check“ phase could just not be called during build, but it would be cleaner to not bail out on Unix.

I don't think such tricks are possible with BSD sockets. BTW: You can also change BUFFSIZE in common.h and rebuild stunnel.

problem with buffering data on stunnel
by wujot 09 Jul '15

09 Jul '15

I have a problem with transmission from LAN server, which use another server on LAN with running stunnel, to pass encrypted data to remote SSL clients if they are on very slow GPRS network. If server in LAN starts to transfer big amount of data to such slow remote client, stunnel is buffering data and slowly transmits them to the GPRS client. TCP Window on connection from LAN server to stunnel is big (64 - 131kB), and TCP Window on connection from stunnel to slow client is small (about 5kB). And additionally stunnel is buffering data. So, server is finishing transmission in seconds, but in fact most of data are still in buffers of stunnel. And it makes a timeout problem (server is waiting for the confirmation from client if it received all data, but time between last byte sent from server and confirmation from client could be even several minutes). So, stunnel is working in "store and forward" model. Is it possible to switch it to something like "cut through"? Or how to force stunnel to more synchronized transmission between client and server? Regards, Adalbert

password protected key in client certificate
by Giona Il Profeta 03 Jul '15

03 Jul '15

Hi all, I have inherited an old stunnel installation, configured for mutual authentication (verify=3) and I'm trying to figure out some of the choices of the old sysadmin. One of the client certificates in the CApath directory has its private key encrypted with a password. Is the client supposed to provide the password to decrypt the key when it connects? Thank you G
