basic usage question

I'm trying to set up an ssl tunnel for VNC per the instructions at https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-sslvnc/index.html. I've not gotten very far into the steps. I tried: # stunnel -d 5905 -r 5900 -p /root/combined.pem [ ] Clients allowed=500 [.] stunnel 5.35 on x86_64-slackware-linux-gnu platform [.] Compiled with OpenSSL 1.0.2h 3 May 2016 [.] Running with OpenSSL 1.0.2n 7 Dec 2017 [.] Update OpenSSL shared libraries or rebuild stunnel [.] Threading:PTHREAD Sockets:POLL,IPv6 TLS:ENGINE,FIPS,OCSP,PSK,SNI Auth:LIBWRAP [ ] errno: (*__errno_location ()) [!] Invalid configuration file name "-d" [!] realpath: No such file or directory (2) [ ] Cron thread initialized I find nothing on the -d, -r or -p options in the manpage. This is my 1st posting to this list. I have very rudimentary skills with ssl, ssh, and certificates, mainly limited to getting certificates from a provider and installing for web and email; and creating public keys for ssh login using ssh-keygen. That's about it, so I'm pretty much a certified newbie. Help getting past the starting gate would be greatly appreciated. THX --Mark

Stunnel in server mode with certificate from the Windows Certificate Store
by merlin＠mp3merlin.net 06 Mar '18

06 Mar '18

Hello, I'm trying to use stunnel in server mode with certificates from the Windows Certificate Store. I have a basic configuration which is working with a PEM certificate file and I'm trying to get it to use a cert via the CAPI engine. Here is my basic (working) config: debug = debug output = C:\stunnel\stunnel.log options = -NO_SSLv3 [https] accept = 443 connect = 80 cert = stunnel.pem Here is my config using the CAPI engine: debug = debug output = C:\stunnel\stunnel.log engine = capi engineCtrl = debug_level:2 engineCtrl = debug_file:c:\stunnel\capi.log engineCtrl = store_flags:1 engineCtrl = list_certs options = -NO_SSLv3 [https] accept = 443 connect = 80 engineId = capi However stunnel does not seem to find a certificate to use: [...] 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG7[main]: Enabling support for engine "capi" 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG7[main]: Executing engine control command debug_level:2 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG7[main]: Executing engine control command debug_file:c:\stunnel\capi.log 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG7[main]: Executing engine control command store_flags:1 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG7[main]: Executing engine control command list_certs 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG7[main]: Initializing engine #1 (capi) 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG6[main]: Engine #1 (capi) initialized [...] 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG6[main]: Initializing service [https] 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG7[main]: Ciphers: HIGH:!DH:!aNULL:!SSLv2 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG7[main]: TLS options: 0x01004004 (+0x03004000, -0x02000000) 2018.03.06 10:22:05 LOG7[main]: No certificate or private key specified [...] And I have no certificates listed in the CAPI debug log: Setting debug level to 2 Setting debug file to c:\stunnel\capi.log Setting flags to 1 Listing certs for store MY Opening certificate store MY capi_cert_get_fname When I load the engine via OpenSSL, I can see that a certificate is present in the store: C:\stunnel\bin>openssl.exe engine -t dynamic -pre "SO_PATH:C:\stunnel\engines\capi.dll" -pre LOAD -post store_flags:1 -post store_name:MY -post list_certs WARNING: can't open config file: /devel/win32/openssl/openssl.cnf (dynamic) Dynamic engine loading support [Success]: SO_PATH:C:\stunnel\engines\capi.dll [Success]: LOAD Loaded: (capi) CryptoAPI ENGINE [ available ] [Success]: store_flags:1 Certificate 0 Friendly Name "test" Subject: CN = test Issuer: CN = test [Success]: list_certs This certificate (and the associated private key) has been generated via the IIS Manager console and I have imported it in the Local Computer Store (with the private key). Does anybody have any idea what I am missing to get this to work ? I can provide more logs and run more tests if necessary. I'm using Stunnel 5.44 on Windows 2008 R2. I tried with an older version (5.40) but same problem. Thanks. Kevin

Hi All , it's mandatory for use stunnel wich the infrastructure has client stunnel and server stunnel ?? Or I can have client stunnel vs Web server HTTPS without stunnel server , only web server https . I newbie in stunnel , but i think is mandatory install stunnel in both sites , that's is correct?

Client cert auth ?
by Brian Ipsen 27 Feb '18

27 Feb '18

Hi I am trying to see if I can get stunnel to authenticate using a client certificate towards a F5 setup - but I am having trouble getting it to work. Certificates are issued froma Microsoft PKI - where the F5 checks validity via an OCSP responder. In my stunnel config file, I have: [F5Cert] client=yes accept = 127.0.0.1:1598 connect = F5test.xxx.dk:443 delay = yes CAFile = GlobalSign-cert-Chain.pem Cert = BaaSClientCertificatePlain.pem key = BaaSClientCertificatePlain.key verify = 2 In the CAFile, I have the root CA and issuing certificate from GlobalSign - which have created the SSL certificate being used on the F5 (server side). Cert and Key points to the certificate and private key from my internal Microsoft based PKI.. But should the certificate chain from my internal PKI be listed somewhere as well ? Is this the way to do it - and is stunnel capable of handling client certificate validation ? Regards Brian

Question on reconnection after TCP RST
by Chawla, Vikas 27 Feb '18

27 Feb '18

Hi, We ran into an issue where stunnel after TCP RST from server, retries to re-establish connection after 5 seconds with exponential back off. Wanted to check if there is configuration parameter for us to modify the reconnection time to be a lower number. Thanks, Vikas

[PATCH] Address already in use (98) when binding to localhost
by Christian Kujau 06 Feb '18

06 Feb '18

Hi, I reported the following to the Fedora bugtracker[0], but only then realized that this happens with the upstream version too. In short: since stunnel 5.44 I am no longer able to have stunnel bind to localhost, when "localhost" is literally mentioned in the configuration file: $ cat stunnel.test [test] client = yes protocol = smtp accept = localhost:12345 connect = localhost:2025 $ stunnel-5.44 stunnel.test [...] [ ] Binding service [test] [ ] Listening file descriptor created (FD=6) [ ] Option SO_REUSEADDR set on accept socket [ ] Service [test] (FD=6) bound to 127.0.0.1:12345 [ ] Listening file descriptor created (FD=7) [ ] Option SO_REUSEADDR set on accept socket [!] bind: Address already in use (98) [!] Error binding service [test] to 127.0.0.1:12345 [ ] Unbinding service [test] [ ] Service [test] closed (FD=6) [ ] Service [test] closed When using "127.0.0.1" or "::1" instead of "localhost" in the configuration file, stunnel-5.44 works. However, then one can only connect to either the IPv4 _or_ the IPv6 address, depending on what's configured. With stunnel-5.43 and "accept=localhost:12345" both IPv4 and IPv6 was available. I suspect that this is related to the following change log entry for 5.44: > Default accept address restored to INADDR_ANY. I have attached a patch to revert that (?) change and also included a test script that fails on my system when the patch is not applied. I see "Version 5.45" already mention in the changelog on the website, but now download yet? Thanks, Christian.

Re: [stunnel-users] stunnel.log not generated in window server 2012 R2
by Zhang, Joanne 02 Feb '18

02 Feb '18

Hello. I installed a Stunnel-5.44-win32 on a Window Server 2012 R2 box. I am using it in client mode only as it is required by the Vendor. It works fine, I can connect to my Vendor's server via Stunnel . However, I don't see any stunnel.log generated when it is run as a service and I searched the entire directory on the server. I know the output path is working . As when I run Stunnel GUI Start, the log is created in the output folder specified in the conf file. Have anyone seen this problem before please? Here is my setting for stunnel.conf that relates to the debug log. debug = 7 output = C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel\stunnel.log Thanks very much for your help ahead.
