Brian,

Thank you for the inputs. I tried without client parameter & notice unknown protocol. I am not sure which "protocol" to use in stunnel.conf in my case.

comment out client = yes

restarted stunnel process.

It thinks your server is a client. Remove client = yes. You need to have a client instance if stunnel and a server instance of stunnel. I am not too keen on ldap, but I assume it is unencrypted so use stunnel to tunnel the traffic and then it gets down selected to unencrypted on the receiving end.

Team,

I am configuring stunnel for the first time. My Requirement: "NetApp DataFabricManager" application on SLES10 SP4 platform <------ (LDAP over Stunnel) -----> Windows 2003 Active Directory, for Active Directory user authentication.

Stunnel.conf:

setuid = root setgid = root

client = yes

debug = 7 output = /root/stunnel.log

cert = /opt/crt_key.pem key = /opt/crt_key.pem

pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid

verify = 3 CAfile = /opt/crt_key.pem

options = NO_SSLv2

[ldap] accept = 389 connect = winad1-197-187:636

[ldap-ha] accept = 8389 connect = winad2-197-189:636

I initially started with stunnel-4.14 available with SLES10 GA OS media. Noticed peer disconnected issue. I went through the stunnel mailing list archive for related issues, but didn't get much help. Finally upgraded stunnel to v4.54 & to no progress.

google hits mentioned that its configuration issue / client is not accepting sockets.. but finally no clue how to proceed.

Kindly assist "SSL_connect: Peer suddenly disconnected" & SSL handshake work.
