Profiling STunnel
by Mark Swann 26 Jan '05

26 Jan '05

All, I need to do some performance profiling on STunnel. I assume gcov and gprof are the correct tools for this. Does anyone have any experience profiling STunnel? Any advice on how to do it properly would be appreciated. Thanks Mark Swann

Cannot find License.CM file
by Ranjit Mallick 26 Jan '05

26 Jan '05

Hi , I am new to stunnel , one of the previous develoeper has developed a application using Stunnel, essentially this app will work as a proxy to outside world and tunnel back to the remote server. On the server side the Stunnel has License.cm file and when ever I bring stunnel in CMD mode, it shows a message cannot find the License.cm file(even though it is there), Obviously the License file has expired or corrupted. How do I tell this tunnel.exe not to look for that file or how can I generate a license file(.cm)? Pls note that the tunnel has all the required files in it's directory tunnel.pem,tunnel.conf,ssleay32.dll,libeay32.dll,ssleay32.exp), pls help this is a show stopper and is effecting the client.Any leads or direction will be much appreciated. Thank you Ranjit __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

win32 stunnel - quiet service install
by joe smith 22 Jan '05

22 Jan '05

I would like to request the following feature be included in subsequent releases of stunnel. Cheers, Jeff Greetings, It would be great if while installing as a service on win32, there was an option to install quietly - i.e. only pop up a dialog box to the user if there's a problem. Any chance of somebody nice compiling me a binary that does this? :) M. -- Michael Brown {0x527670C0} | `One of the main causes of the fall of Systems Administrator | the Roman Empire was that, lacking zero, +1 519 888 7111 x2339 | they had no way to indicate successful michaelb at opentext.com | termination of their C programs.' - Firth --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

stunnel and verify
by Brian Hirt 21 Jan '05

21 Jan '05

Hi, I've recently set up stunnel for a remote vnc connection, and it's working great. However, I would like to restrict access based on cert (only allow access a single public key), because nobody else should be accessing it besides my one machine. It seems what i want is to set verify = 3, but I'm using self-signed certs on my client, so verify = 3 fails. Is there some way to verify the client public key without doing the self signed test too? I'm sorry if this is a faq -- i searched the lists and read the faq and couldn't find anything. Thanks! (I'm running stunnel 4.04 on fedora1, and stunnel 4.04 on mac 10.3.7, installed via fink) my stunnel.conf is pretty simple. client conf is (sans connection info) client = yes cert = /sw/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem chroot = /var/run/stunnel/ pid = /stunnel.pid setuid = stunnel setgid = stunnel server conf is: client = no cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem CApath = /etc/stunnel/clientdb chroot = /var/run/stunnel/ verify=3 pid = /stunnel.pid setuid = stunnel setgid = stunnel -------------------------------------------- MobyGames http://www.mobygames.com The world's largest and most comprehensive gaming database project

As it is already present in the services list, this has to fail. You can easily start and stop stunnel using the net command from a command line window: net start stunnel to start stunnel, or: net stop stunnel to shut it down again. You could make up a batch file to launch stunnel automatically for the time agent is running: --file runagent.cmd begin-- @echo off net stunnel start C:\Program Files\Agent!\Agent32.exe net stunnel stop --file runagent.cmd end-- Just edit the path for agent32.exe to match the path where you have Forté Agent installed, and you're done. P.S. I know net stunnel start can complain about that the service is already running, but that's just cosmetical and I was too lazy to implement logic to check if the service is already running ;) Best regards, Andre

Activating Stunnel After Exiting (Newbie)
by mhrtmhd94＠att.net 20 Jan '05

20 Jan '05

Hi. I just installed Stunnel, in order to be able to continue Agent as my mews reader. This works well. Based on the cautions on the website, I have decided to keep Stunnel active only when I am using Agent. Stunnel opens when I boot Windows - (XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2.) After close Agent, I right-click the Stunnel icon on the task bar and choose Exit. If I try to activate Stunnel later, by double-clicking its desktop icon, I am presented with an error window headed "stunnel 4.07 on Win32" with the following message: "Failed to create a new service". Looking at Properties on the desktop, I see that the Target is "C:\stunnel\stunnel-4.07.exe -install". This looks wrong, as it appears to be the option for initial installation of the program. I assume I need to change this, or discover another method of re-opening stunnel. As it stands now, I have to reboot to accomplish this. Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks.

stunnel dropping connection with media wiki
by christopher＠baus.net 12 Jan '05

12 Jan '05

Hi all, I've been using stunnel with SMTP, IMAP, and HTTP with out a problem. Yesterday I installed media wiki on Fedora Core 2 w/ Apache. It works fine if I access it directly, but if I access the site via stunnel, the proxy drops connection. I was wondering if anybody else has seen this type of problem. I am tempted to dig into it, but I am honestly short on time right now. I think it might have something to do with the redirects that Media wiki uses, but that's just a wild guess.
