Windows XP, 2000 Crash on VNC over stunnel
by prez2＠o2.pl 15 Oct '05

15 Oct '05

Hello I've got problem with vnc over stunnel, stunnel on client computer crashes all the time. I did all configuration according to information at http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1677. Stunnel v 4.12, VNC version 4.1.1, all firewalls off, all computers in the same LAN. Tried on Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2000, on both of them there was a crash. All necessery (at least I think so) information are here: http://users.vlo.ids.gda.pl/~piotr/client.txt http://users.vlo.ids.gda.pl/~piotr/server.txt http://users.vlo.ids.gda.pl/~piotr/windows.txt Thank you in advance

Should I generate certifcates again? Meantime, I did configure it on my Ubuntu 10 X box, and manage to connect with server, so I guess server configuration is ok. Thanks for help. Best regards.

ECC-enabled version of Stunnel
by Dennis Laupichler 13 Oct '05

13 Oct '05

Dear Sirs, I want to use a ECC-certificate for stunnel.pem, but it doesn't work. Can you tell me, what I have to do, to use Elliptique Curve cryptography certificates in Stunnel? Is it still possible or not? The ECC-Ciphers "ECDH-ECDSA-AES256-SHA" from openssl 0.9.8 works, but when I loaded the certificate into stunnel, there was follow messages in the log-file: stunnel.log in Server ################## error stack: 140B3009 : error:140B3009:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_use_RSAPrivateKey_file:PEM lib SSL_CTX_use_RSAPrivateKey_file: 607907F: error:0607907F:digital envelope routines:EVP_PKEY_get1_RSA:expecting an rsa key Server is down ################## Best regards, Dennis

IMAP TLS support in stunnel 4?
by George Hartzell 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

Hi All, I'd like to put stunnel in front of dbmail-imap and dbmail-pop, since they don't offer any encryption. I understand I can just do straight ssl connections, but would like [prefer] to support TLS. I've found patches to the stunnel 3 series that implement TLS for IMAP, but haven't found any for version 4. Has someone implemented it for 4? Is there a technical or political reason/problem, or just not enough round-tuits? Thanks, g.

404 File Not Found when accessing webservice using STunnel (works fine without STunnel)
by Sundell Staffan 10 Oct '05

10 Oct '05

"stunnel 4.08 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu WIN32+IPv6 with OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004" Hi, this is my first try with both SSL & STunnel, so please excuse me for any missunderstandings a.s.o. I have problems running a STunnel in client-mode agains a SSL webservice. Our application does not support clientside-certificates, so i want to use STunnel to handle the SSL connection. For now, our webservice-provider has disabled the need for client-certificates (to help us narrow our problem down) But it still dont work. As a first step, i access whe webservice default-page through IE-Explorer. https://<ip>:3001/<path> and i am presented with the default-webpage. As i second step, i start stunnel with following .conf verify = 2 CApath = <path where i have saved all certificates as .pem:s with <hash>.0 filenames, from the direct-access example with explorer above> debug = 7 client = yes [https] accept = 127.0.0.1:3000 connect = <ip>:3001 TIMEOUTclose = 0 and try to access http://127.0.0.1:3000/<path> but i get: HTTP 404 File Not found. I have tried the same approach against a microsoft webservice at: https://test.uddi.microsoft.com/extension.asmx Without any problems. 1. I see no errors in the log, as i understand it (se below) can any one else with a more skilled eye see any problem ? 2. Our webservice-provider has an invalid hostname in its certificate (no public hostname, just IP during testing, but server certificate state www.fora.se) might that cause a problem ? (i have tried localy with invalid hostname in certificate without any problem though) 3. Is it possible to enable/disable verification of hostname in STunnel ? (as i understand it, the "verify" option in the STunnel.conf concerns the whole certificate-validation-process, and not just the hostname validation ?) 4. Could the problem be a config-issue on the webservice-provider end ? Im not sure, as it works with IE-Explorer, but not through STunnel ? 5. Any clue on where to look would be greatly apriciated, i have been working with this for a week, and i have been able to use STunnel both as server & client, with & without client-certs against everything i have tested localy and public (tried between diffrent home-made applications, on a local webserver, against verisign website a.s.o.) and everything works fine, except where i need it to work (against our webservice-provider).

STUNNEL and Windows 98 Second Edition

I've installed STUNNEL on a Win 98 SE machine. Connections die after a few or a few hundred bytes. Any ideas? Thanks, Dave. ----------------------------------- David T. Ashley (dta(a)e3ft.com) Thousand Feet Consulting, LLC

UID/GID/Permissions Issue
by David T. Ashley 08 Oct '05

08 Oct '05

I've installed STUNNEL, works great, etc. etc. etc. Just one thing is a mystery .... The daemon definitely runs with UID "stunnel" (as I set it up), but still somehow it is able to grab its own keys and cert, as well as the client cert, which I set with root-only access. How is that possible? Does it buffer these things during startup (as root) before it sets UID/GID to stunnel, or am I missing something? Thanks. ----------------------------------- David T.

stunnel-4.12 Solaris 9 libwrap compile problem
by John Christian 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Hi gurus... I'm setting up a centralized log server for all of my Solaris 9 hosts. Kim's article at http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/syslog_ng.html is providing much of the guidence. I plan to use syslog-ng, but would like to have stunnel in place first. http://www.sunfreeware.com does not have a pre-rolled stunnel for Solaris 9. I'm receiving the error below when trying to compile stunnel-4.12 on Solaris 9. Can you offer any tips on overcoming the stunnelcompile error below? ERROR: [snip] gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wpointer-arith -I/usr/local/ssl/include -o stunnel client.o log.o options.o protocol.o network.o resolver.o ssl.o sthreads.o stunnel.o pty.o -lz -lsocket -lnsl -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto -lwrap Undefined first referenced symbol in file allow_severity /usr/sfw/lib/libwrap.so deny_severity /usr/sfw/lib/libwrap.so ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors.

My environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH is: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/dt/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib:/usr/sfw/lib Thanks for taking the time to share any direct solutions or hints that will help me find a solution. -John __________________________________ Yahoo!

Help With Verify = 3
by David T. Ashley 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Hi, I installed Stunnel 4.12 on a Linux box, and am attempting to use it to secure SMTP e-mail injection from Windows machines. I have everything working, and I have a Windows Stunnel client which will inject mail into a Linux Stunnel server over TCP Port 465. However, I've been unable to find the right combination of verification settings to cause the server to refuse connections from clients without the right certificates. Right now, I'm able to inject mail if the client has ANY certificate. Is there any tutorial on how to generate the keys, .PEM files, and the Stunnel settings to have the behavior where only MY clients can inject mail? Thanks and best regards, Dave Ashley.
