Life cycle information
by Ben Harper 30 Jan '17

30 Jan '17

Greetings, I am trying to confirm some life cycle information, mainly supported version(s) and what versions do not insure backwards compatibility. It would appear that only the latest version is supported, per the first item under 'Before you send your question to stunnel-users' on the Mailing Lists page[0]. Does this project use semantic versioning? Will incompatibilities only come when a 6.x.x version is released? It seems at one point this was the case per the 'Upgrading to stunnel 4' link on the Documentation page[1]. Are my assumptions correct? Thanks, Ben [0]: https://www.stunnel.org/lists.html [1]: https://www.stunnel.org/docs.html

Proxy one site to HTTPS?
by Jeffrey Walton 30 Jan '17

30 Jan '17

Hi Everyone, I'm having trouble setting up a proxy for one site. The client is MacPorts on OS X 10.5. It makes some requests for files over port 80, but they apparently need to be made over port 443. Also see https://trac.macports.org/ticket/53423 and https://trac.macports.org/ticket/53347. My first question is, is it possible to proxy one site to HTTPS? My second question is, how does one do so if it is possible? The concrete example from the 53423 bug report is, I need to proxy requests from http://distfiles.macports.org/... to https://distfiles.macports.org/... I also need the opposite on the responses. Thanks in advance, Jeff

Client certificate using CAPI
by stunnel.org＠pepak.net 29 Jan '17

29 Jan '17

Hi! I am trying to use stunnel to connect to my own server using both a server and a client certificate. I got the tunnel to work, provided that the client uses a PEM certificate stored in a file. However, I would like to use CAPI, because that would allow me to use a smart card, which I finally got Windows to recognize (a nightmare of its own). Unfortunately, it seems that the client-side stunnel won't send a client certificate because the server-side stunnel will always close the connection with: SSL_accept: 140890C7: error:140890C7:SSL routines:ssl3_get_client_certificate:peer did not return a certificate My client-side stunnel log shows that server sent some kind of identification of all the supported client certificates to the client, but that's all - the client stunnel fails to follow through: TLS state (connect): SSLv3 read server key exchange A Client CA: emailAddress=some(a)email.com, O=Some name, CN=Pepak Yubico 4 White Client CA: emailAddress=root(a)email.com, CN=Pepak (root CA) TLS state (connect): SSLv3 read server certificate request A TLS state (connect): SSLv3 read server done A TLS state (connect): SSLv3 write client certificate A TLS state (connect): SSLv3 write client key exchange A TLS state (connect): SSLv3 write change cipher spec A TLS state (connect): SSLv3 write finished A TLS state (connect): SSLv3 flush data SSL_connect: Peer suddenly disconnected As far as I can tell, the CN=Pepak Yubico 4 White matches what my Windows show as the name of the certificate on the smartcard. Following up on https://www.stunnel.org/pipermail/stunnel-users/2016-February/005393.html, I tried to add a "key = Pepak Yubico 4 White" line to the client-side stunnel's config, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. What could be the problem? The client-side config file is: compression = deflate debug = debug fips = no taskbar = no options = NO_SSLv2 engine = capi [echo-client] client = yes accept = 3000 connect = 10.0.0.1:30000 requireCert = yes verifyChain = yes verifyPeer = yes CAfile = desktop.pem engineId = capi key = Pepak Yubico 4 White The only suspicious thing that I see is that my client certificate says that its only purpose is to verify the identity of the remote computer. Could that be the reason the handshake fails? Thanks for any help. Pepak

SSL errors do not trigger failover?
by Richard Monk 27 Jan '17

27 Jan '17

Hello! We are using stunnel to work around an SSL issue in another service, and set stunnel.conf up to do prio failover. We noticed something unusual. If the TCP session connects, but the SSL negotiation fails, it doesn't fail over to the next server on the list. I looked at the code for the latest version and this doesn't seem to be caught anywhere. What I saw in client.c shows that it only checks failover after trying to establish the TCP session, but then the SSL session happens later and doesn't give any info back to the failover code should something go wrong. Is this expected behavior, or should I look into a bug report / patch? I was thinking maybe a configurable option to allow SSL errors to trigger failover just like TCP errors. -- Richard Monk (rmonk(a)redhat.com) - Senior Principal Security Analyst Red Hat Inc. - Raleigh NC GPG Key ID: 0x942CDB25

Creating tunnel to smtp.office365.com:587
by Andrew Culver 17 Jan '17

17 Jan '17

Hello, This is my first time using stunnel so I'm still learning how it works. This may have already been asked, but I'm not sure what to search for in the archives. We have a number of hosts in private IP space that we'd like to be able to send mail to smtp.office365.com:587. I'm trying to configure stunnel for this purpose. What I'd like is to set up a stunnel instance on a server which will accept TLS connections on port 50025. Stunnel will then connect to smtp.office365.com:587 which also uses TLS. How can I do this? I am able to configure stunnel to accept my connection on 587, but the connection is immediately closed (below). If I add client = yes, then I just get: aculver stunnel # openssl s_client -starttls smtp -connect localhost:50025 CONNECTED(00000003) didn't found starttls in server response, try anyway... Here is my config: aculver stunnel # egrep -v '^;|^$' stunnel.conf ; Sample stunnel configuration file for Unix by Michal Trojnara 2002-2015 setuid = nobody setgid = nogroup pid = /usr/local/var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid [o365-smtp] accept = 50025 cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem connect = smtp.office365.com:587 verifyChain = yes CApath = /etc/ssl/certs protocol = smtp What am I doing wrong? Here's what I get when I don't have client = yes: aculver stunnel # openssl s_client -starttls smtp -connect localhost:50025 CONNECTED(00000003) depth=0 C = CA, ST = Ontario, L = London, O = The University of Western Ontario, OU = ITS, CN = aculver.ws.its.uwo.ca, emailAddress = aculver(a)uwo.ca verify error:num=18:self signed certificate verify return:1 depth=0 C = CA, ST = Ontario, L = London, O = The University of Western Ontario, OU = ITS, CN = aculver.ws.its.uwo.ca, emailAddress = aculver(a)uwo.ca verify return:1 139954991064736:error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert handshake failure:s3_pkt.c:1263:SSL alert number 40 139954991064736:error:140790E5:SSL routines:SSL23_WRITE:ssl handshake failure:s23_lib.c:177: --- Certificate chain 0 s:/C=CA/ST=Ontario/L=London/O=The University of Western Ontario/OU=ITS/CN=aculver.ws.its.uwo.ca/emailAddress=aculver(a)uwo.ca i:/C=CA/ST=Ontario/L=London/O=The University of Western Ontario/OU=ITS/CN=aculver.ws.its.uwo.ca/emailAddress=aculver(a)uwo.ca --- Server certificate -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- MIIEJzCCAw+gAwIBAgIJAM0DgGLDIh5lMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBCwUAMIGpMQswCQYD VQQGEwJDQTEQMA4GA1UECAwHT250YXJpbzEPMA0GA1UEBwwGTG9uZG9uMSowKAYD VQQKDCFUaGUgVW5pdmVyc2l0eSBvZiBXZXN0ZXJuIE9udGFyaW8xDDAKBgNVBAsM A0lUUzEeMBwGA1UEAwwVYWN1bHZlci53cy5pdHMudXdvLmNhMR0wGwYJKoZIhvcN AQkBFg5hY3VsdmVyQHV3by5jYTAeFw0xNzAxMTcxODAwNTdaFw0yMDAxMTcxODAw NTdaMIGpMQswCQYDVQQGEwJDQTEQMA4GA1UECAwHT250YXJpbzEPMA0GA1UEBwwG TG9uZG9uMSowKAYDVQQKDCFUaGUgVW5pdmVyc2l0eSBvZiBXZXN0ZXJuIE9udGFy aW8xDDAKBgNVBAsMA0lUUzEeMBwGA1UEAwwVYWN1bHZlci53cy5pdHMudXdvLmNh MR0wGwYJKoZIhvcNAQkBFg5hY3VsdmVyQHV3by5jYTCCASIwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEB BQADggEPADCCAQoCggEBAL2A3QEU7ReMc+2dTJdxVnQx33dIomQvO6QOAaFkI9pt XF/UhSBCg3ZD2yZeKe5GQ0+KqSCjuxTZE+BMTIeNUtaFEDr9bMAx0toknm29ve1B wTErWoIjE4yqQ+j/D9JLp4BzBcptz1zaEdvhzzZo2zWVpqHrUHSXzoIELD4xyZyF UgbQ057diKr1fqM7q3ozCofslFGEjWtc8SsfwgToT72g7bRhx8a6F6SSX8afcVx0 hvvC998QbTNUCpJO6GPzWWCsITc3RPMZK3OJsbI4NNBKDZ8eE2NTSkcKjnibRWFx bwCTlSZ5XABQrgXmEO51cx6DBAK/8cV8W2H/VNr9SXkCAwEAAaNQME4wHQYDVR0O BBYEFMPXcnQduKdorSNrFIR1up+a5V7RMB8GA1UdIwQYMBaAFMPXcnQduKdorSNr FIR1up+a5V7RMAwGA1UdEwQFMAMBAf8wDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQADggEBAKqmaC+g RD1KEWT2yJit0FRIuwzFYmh/jgQ0ofabWQIuQtyNeqVnATU5FMOmox9MgbbsBanC SBVxuiLsWruk6VTjByHaIPAfsdWVKYMfLXO2Rku8GTp1X0B+HcNxh18tKr9s72rB AmapnD1GrYDAlBBgwQz+Ei1iRz+rqKsPvvJ/IEzZ02uhxV0ZWxBi5gTqAQc+pi3y I8DNBTxev2BMw+YCeNnrH3ryrJ8vKYlUmxE0k2POH1ihlpzdx9jtKC9TKR1kahMP 3lbldSHmW9DWeOfzQZ6NDHADSI698HaYfWQXUqbXjNJsxFb47pnjmyWgKseAT9iw w9nPDtkCmUihuBM= -----END CERTIFICATE----- subject=/C=CA/ST=Ontario/L=London/O=The University of Western Ontario/OU=ITS/CN=aculver.ws.its.uwo.ca/emailAddress=aculver(a)uwo.ca issuer=/C=CA/ST=Ontario/L=London/O=The University of Western Ontario/OU=ITS/CN=aculver.ws.its.uwo.ca/emailAddress=aculver(a)uwo.ca --- No client certificate CA names sent --- SSL handshake has read 1741 bytes and written 138 bytes --- New, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 Server public key is 2048 bit Secure Renegotiation IS supported Compression: NONE Expansion: NONE SSL-Session: Protocol : TLSv1.2 Cipher : ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 Session-ID: Session-ID-ctx: Master-Key: 9B6FC3BBEEADF6673416272CA03FA44A2B10BADB3B843317403C03904F0E45E922EA2581F313BF5282C0A47498E43C8D Key-Arg : None PSK identity: None PSK identity hint: None SRP username: None Start Time: 1484680413 Timeout : 300 (sec) Verify return code: 18 (self signed certificate) --- aculver stunnel # Thanks, Andrew

Stunnel and tokens on Windows
by stunnel.org＠pepak.net 31 Dec '16

31 Dec '16

Hi! I would very much like to switch my Stunnel setup to use hardware tokens. Stunnel apparently supports that using a PKCS11 engine, but I am having hard luck trying to figure it out for Windows, because 1) my practical experience with tokens is nonexistent at the moment, and 2) there are very few pages with a relevant information (basically, I was only able to find the very ancient http://martlaak.wikia.com/wiki/Stunnel_and_engine_pkcs11 and two russian pages http://forum.rutoken.ru/topic/1639/ and https://habrahabr.ru/post/135369/ which probably do just what I need, but I am not so sure they are applicable to my needs as I do not have a rutoken). I guess I would be satified if someone told me, "yes, these pages are applicable, just buy a xxxtoken instead of rutoken"; I would be happier with a full guide, but I can't expect anyone to write it - with the possible exception of Michal Trojnara's paid support (would that be possible?). Thanks, pepak

stunnel 5.38 on x86-pc-msvc-1500 platform compiled/running with OpenSSL 1.0.2j-fips 26 Sep 2016 Windows Server 2012R2 Standard When I try and start the service I get: Windows could not start the Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol Service on the Local Computer. Error: 1079: The account specified for this service is different from the account specified for other services running in the same process. So after a little reading I went into Services->Logon and checked: Allow Service to interact with desktop Same Error So I created an account in the Local Administrators group and gave it logon as a service Same thing Any ideas? -- Jeff Saxton Tanium CELL: +US 650.235.0776
