Stunnel Keeps Closing Connections with an Error
by Jerry Baker 09 Dec '04

09 Dec '04

I am using Stunnel 4.05 on Windows 98/XP to connect VNC clients to a Windows XP server. I am continually getting disconnected by Stunnel with the following error: SSL_read: 1408F455: error:1408F455:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac I have tried using the OpenSSL 0.9.7d binaries from stunnel.org AND compiling OpenSSL 0.9.7e myself. Either way, the same result. Thanks in advance.

Anyone got a clue where to look? Thanks, Ron

Dear group, Would anyone know how I can go about setting up Stunnel to tunnel all ICMP traffic between two systems? I'm just looking for the basic steps required in the process. Any useful documentation links would be great. Thank you much in advance.

same questions about problems with stunnel-4.05 and the old 3.2x command line
by 86493293＠gmx.net 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

Hi Michal, i'm using stunnel since version 3.2x and now i'm trying to switch to version 4.05. but there still some problems left so i searched the "net" and found only one article about this problems (http://stunnel.mirt.net/pipermail/stunnel-users/2004-August/000013.html). but this solution seems not to work for me or i'm a little bit to stupid to understand it. i used 3.2x with the following command line: $ stunnel -P ~/ -v2 -A ./publickey.pem -p privatekey.pem -r target_host.net:666 -c -d 127.0.0.1:7777 Then i tried to write me my own config-file for stunnel-4.05. $ cat /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf # pid is created in an jail pid = /home/user/.stunnel/stunnel.pid # Some debugging stuff debug = 7 output = /home/user/.stunnel/stunnel.log # use it for client mode client = yes foreground = yes # Authentification verify = 3 cert = /home/user/privatekey.pem CAfile = /home/user/publickey.pem # Service-Level Configuration [application] accept = 127.0.0.1:666 connect = targethost.net:7777 But this one does not work. The stunnel.log told me this: $ cat /home/user/stunnel.log 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG5[15233:1006686208]: stunnel 4.05 on i386-unknown-openbsd3.6 PTHREAD+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: Snagged 64 random bytes from /dev/arandom 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG6[15233:1006686208]: PRNG seeded successfully 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: Certificate: /home/privatekey.pem 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: Key file: /home/user/privatekey.pem 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: Loaded verify certificates from /home/user/publickey.pem 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG5[15233:1006686208]: FD_SETSIZE=1024, file ulimit=128 -> 61 clients allowed 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: FD 7 in non-blocking mode 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: application bound to 127.0.0.1:666 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: FD 8 in non-blocking mode 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: FD 9 in non-blocking mode 2004.12.01 22:20:12 LOG7[15233:1006686208]: Created pid file /var/run/stunnel.pid It looks for me normal but i can not connect to this local port and i can not seen the "stunnel" as an process in my "ps -al |grep stunnel". And there is no error message or something like that. But when i try to connect to this local adress 127.0.0.1:666 i get always an "lost connection". Please tell me if my config-file is right?! So i know that the mistake must be at the "application" and not in my stunnel.conf. Thx for your help!

How use certificates with stunnel -- Newbie question
by Shatadal 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

Hi, I am a new user of stunnel and I am using it to connect to some SSL enabled e-mail accounts. Instead of directly connecting to the mail server I am connecting to it via stunnel so that my e-mail scanner scan the messages before sending it to the mail server (it does not natively support SSL connections) My setup: OS: Win XP Home edition. All updates are installed except for service pack 2. E-mail client: Mozilla Thunderbird 0.9 E-mail scanner : Alwil Avast 4.5 I have an e-mail account at myisp.com. To connect to myisp I need to enable SSL. On connecting via SSL I get a certificate which I can choose to accept permanently, temporarily for the current session or reject it. Alwil Avast mail scanner does not support scanning of e-mail sent and received over SSL. So to enable it to scan such e-mail, my client connects to localhost where stunnel is listening and stunnel forwards the connection to my isp. This is my stunnel.conf file # IMAP service, listens on localhost:1200 [myisp-imaps] accept=localhost:1200 connect=myisp.com:993 # SMTP service, listens on localhost:260 [myisp-smtps] accept=localhost:260 connect=myisp.com:25 Unfortunately while the IMAP connection works perfectly the SMTP does not. Thunderbird keeps sending the message until I cancel it. This is the log file 2004.11.25 03:10:03 LOG5[2508:3848]: myisp-smtps connected from 127.0.0.1:2751 2004.11.25 03:10:08 LOG3[2508:3848]: SSL_connect: 1408F10B: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number 2004.11.25 03:11:03 LOG5[2508:192]: myisp-smtps connected from 127.0.0.1:2755 2004.11.25 03:11:08 LOG3[2508:192]: SSL_connect: 1408F10B: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number 2004.11.25 13:36:40 LOG5[2508:2112]: myisp-smtps connected from 127.0.0.1:4818 2004.11.25 13:36:45 LOG3[2508:2112]: SSL_connect: 1408F10B: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number 2004.11.25 14:01:44 LOG5[2508:3208]: myisp-smtps connected from 127.0.0.1:1188 2004.11.25 14:01:50 LOG3[2508:3208]: SSL_connect: 1408F10B: error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number I am guessing the problem is something to do with the handling of the certificate I get when I use my client to connect directly to the SMTP server via SSL. Can someone explain to me how to make stunnel accept the certificate and continue the SSL transaction? I tried to read through the faq for certificates but I couldn't understand how it was to be done. Thanks, Shatadal. --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.

Sercure POP from Outlook Express using Stunnel on a linux server to talk to an exchance server.
by CONN, Aurelia 25 Nov '04

25 Nov '04

Hi I'm just about to investigate setting up a secure pop connection to an exchange server - can anyone point to helpfull resources or say if it can/cannot be done. Using Outlook (Express) as mail client SSL and Stunnel installed on Redhat 9 Mailserver is Exchange 5.5 on Windows NT 4.0 For example, will I have to configure/install on all three boxes? All my initial testing will be done internally so no firewall issues at this stage. Thanks in advance.
