Q: stunnel checking of certs?
by Heiko Nardmann 02 Dec '04

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi together! Two questions: 1) does stunnel read the cert files/directories only once at startup or every time it has to check a certificate? 2) does stunnel support CRLs? e.g. getting the CRL via LDAP? - -- Heiko Nardmann (Dipl.-Ing.

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.

SSL Engine patch on Windows?
by Kartik Subbarao 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

I'm trying to use stunnel with the SSL Hardware Engine patch (posted by Neil Dunbar to this mailing list in March) on Windows. I apply the patch to the 4.05 codebase and build stunnel with MinGW. I'm able to use stunnel normally without exercising any hardware engine functionality. This tells me that the basics are working. I then run stunnel with the config file containing the following kinds of hardware engine parameters: SSLEngine=c:\windows\system32\engine_pkcs11.dll SSLEngineOpt=MODULE_PATH=c:\windows\system32\acpkcs201.dll But when I run stunnel, I get errors with dynamic library loading like: error stack: 260B6084 : error:260B6084:engine routines:DYNAMIC_LOAD:dso not found And similar errors like that. This gives me the impression that I haven't linked stunnel properly on windows to be able to use OpenSSL dynamic libraries. Or perhaps some other explanation that I don't understand :-) Is it possible to compile stunnel on Windows (either with MinGW or with Visual C++) to be able to use the hardware engine patch? Any pointers/assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -Kartik

List of Distinguished names in Certificate Request message
by Diarmuid O'Neill 17 Nov '04

17 Nov '04

Hi, At the moment, stunnel's client certificate verification implementation does not include any Distinguished Names (of the trusted CA certificates configured) in the Request Certificate message. Strictly speaking this violates RFC2246 (see below, apologies for formatting), but to date I've only seen one client that has a problem with it. Explorer deals with this by displaying all available user certificates. If the Distinguished Names are included in the cert req it only displays client certs signed by the appropriate CAs. The patch below does the necessary openssl bits and pieces to make up the lists of DNs so they're sent with the certificate requests. This has been tested under linux only. 7.4.4. Certificate request When this message will be sent: A non-anonymous server can optionally request a certificate from the client, if appropriate for the selected cipher suite. This message, if sent, will immediately follow the Server Key Exchange message (if it is sent; otherwise, the Server Certificate message). Structure of this message: enum { rsa_sign(1), dss_sign(2), rsa_fixed_dh(3), dss_fixed_dh(4), (255) } ClientCertificateType; opaque DistinguishedName<1..2^16-1>; struct { ClientCertificateType certificate_types<1..2^8-1>; DistinguishedName certificate_authorities<3..2^16-1>; } CertificateRequest; certificate_types This field is a list of the types of certificates requested, sorted in order of the server's preference. certificate_authorities A list of the distinguished names of acceptable certificate authorities. These distinguished names may specify a desired distinguished name for a root CA or for a subordinate CA; thus, this message can be used both to describe known roots and a desired authorization space. Note: DistinguishedName is derived from [X509]. Note: It is a fatal handshake_failure alert for an anonymous server to request client identification.

[mssql] accept=1433 connect=m1:1434 [smtp] accept=25 connect=m2:465 when I connect to db m3->m1 - ok when I send mail m3->m2 - ok but when I connect to db m2->m1 - failed how configure m2 stunnel to let him work in client and server mode ?
