Hi everyone,
Sorry for the repost, but in the web mailing list, my previous message appears weird, so I thought I could re-post it.
I'm using stunnel v4.16 on a Windows 2003 Server, and I'm working with stunnel in verify=3 mode. I wanted to know if the stunnel needs to be restarted after a certificates has been removed ? If not, how long is the certificate considered valid after the file has been removed ?
Regards,

This is *not* the way X.509 was designed to perform certificate revocation. Use CRLs or OCSP instead.

Thanks Michal for the answer. The certificate removal was not meant to act as a revocation, but more as a temporary disablement like for example someone on vacation who should not use the corporate network or such.
I saw the reference you indicated : http://stunnel.mirt.net/pipermail/stunnel-users/2004-December/000192.html And with this, I understand that this is not possible because the certificate once loaded is kept in memory.
I got my answer, thanks.

Good Morning Mike:
I had a question and sent to the list (it might have not gone thru) The question was that: is it possible for stunnel to go to the router, for example, 10.10.1.1, to scan for a port of interest and see whether there is a request thru that port? so the nat router would not have to forward the port to the stunnel of my local machine, e.g. 10.10.1.188, on which stunnel is listening for port 8888 and will relay it to 5631 of the local program.
Thanks
