stunnel version 4.53 says SSL server needs a certificate on Windows 7?
by Wayne Walter 13 Jun '12

13 Jun '12

I have been using stunnel previous versions just fine. It didn't apparently have the feature of a certificate in SSL server mode. That's alright but not necessary for us as we're simply running a localhost server to tunnel to the remote server. Anyway, I have read the FAQ tutorial and such related to this and tried everything. No mater what I do with the cert or key settings it still gives this same error here's the complete output.... No limit detected for the number of clients stunnel 4.53 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu platform Compiled/running with OpenSSL 0.9.8s-fips 4 Jan 2012 Threading:WIN32 SSL:+ENGINE+OCSP+FIPS Auth:none Sockets:SELECT+IPv6 Reading configuration from file stunnel.conf FIPS mode is enabled Compression not enabled Snagged 64 random bytes from C:/.rnd Wrote 0 new random bytes to C:/.rnd PRNG seeded successfully Initializing service section [FIX] Section FIX: SSL server needs a certificate Server is down And here is the stunnel.conf file contents: ; Certificate/key is needed in server mode and optional in client mode cert = stunnel.pem ;key = stunnel.pem ; Disable support for insecure SSLv2 protocol options = NO_SSLv2 [FIX] accept = 127.0.0.1:5679 connect = 216.52.236.112:5680 TIMEOUTconnect = 5 [FIXLIVE] accept = 127.0.0.1:5680 connect = 216.52.236.185:51581 TIMEOUTconnect = 5 Please not that stunnel came installed with an stunnel.pem file. I tried uncommenting the config line for the key. Also regenerated the key using openssh per instructions. I tried using absolute path to the cert file. Nothing makes any difference. Is this a defect in stunnel? Or am I doing something wrong?

Windows our linux? Linux just add the log file location to the file that are part of rotate.d and thats solved daily. Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4GLTE smartphone.

stunnel - haproxy setup with protocol = proxy
by Scott McKeown 07 Jun '12

07 Jun '12

Hi Robert, I've been doing some work on both HAProxy and STunnel myself over the last month or so. Your actual configuration files both look fine but one thing that you possibly missed is that you will have needed to have build HAProxy with the TProxy flag enabled, and I'm going to guess that you have also written and applied the Firewall rules for the transparent proxy. I've attached a DRAFT pdf of the work that I have been doing, its a very basic how-to on setting up both STunnel and HAProxy in Transparent mode on a Centos 6.2 system. -- With Kind Regards.

stunnel - haproxy setup with protocol = proxy

I am trying to setup stunnel with protocol = proxy through haproxy to my apache2 cluster. I have been using haproxy for a while, and wanted to try this before having to go to nginx, or some other proxy. My config works fine as is if I remove the "accept proxy" from the haproxy.cfg and the protocol=proxy from stunnel config, as soon as those are in, I get a 502 bad gateway.

I'm using stunnel as a reverse proxy. I have an smtp server smtp1 and an stunnel server proxy1. Clients connect to and negotiate ssl on proxy1 which then connects to smtp1 via a plaintext connection. stunnel does not reside on the client. If I connect the client directly to smtp1 via ssl it works fine.

I am trying to setup stunnel to ssl proxy mail to an smtp server and this seems to work fine for thunderbird but when I try using outlook 2010 to connect via ssl I get the error: Send test e-mail message: Your server does not support the connection encryption type you have specified. Try changing the encryption method. For sslVersion I have the option of SSLv3 and TLSv1, all and SSLv2 do not seem to work so I'm not sure if that is the problem Anyone else run in to this or know what I might do to resolve it?

stunnel 4.53 released
by Michal Trojnara 03 Jun '12

03 Jun '12

Dear Users, I have released version 4.53 of stunnel. This is major a bugfix release. Upgrade is highly recommended. The ChangeLog entry: Version 4.53, 2012.03.19, urgency: MEDIUM: * New features - Added client-mode "sni" option to directly control the value of TLS Server Name Indication (RFC 3546) extension. - Added support for IP_FREEBIND socket option with a pached Linux kernel. - Glibc-specific dynamic allocation tuning was applied to help unused memory deallocation. - Non-blocking OCSP implementation. * Bugfixes - Compilation fixes for old versions of OpenSSL (tested against 0.9.6). - Usage of uninitialized variables fixed in exec+connect services. - Occasional logging subsystem crash with exec+connect services. - OpenBSD compilation fix (thx to Michele Orru'). - Session id context initialized with session name rather than a constant. - Fixed handling of a rare inetd mode use case, where either stdin or stdout is a socket, but not both of them at the same time. - Fixed missing OPENSSL_Applink http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html#PROG2 - Fixed crash on termination with FORK threading model. - Fixed dead canary after configuration reload with open connections. - Fixed missing file descriptors passed to local mode processes. - Fixed required jmp_buf alignment on Itanium platform. - Removed creating /dev/zero in the chroot jail on Solaris platform. - Fixed detection of WSAECONNREFUSED Winsock error. - Missing Microsoft.VC90.CRT.manifest added to Windows installer. Home page: http://www.stunnel.org/ Download: ftp://ftp.stunnel.org/stunnel/ SHA-256 hash for stunnel-4.53.tar.gz: 3e640aa4c96861d10addba758b66e99e7c5aec8697764f2a59ca2268901b8e57 Best regards, Mike
