[stunnel-users] is verify level 4 working?

Wed Jul 10 20:38:48 CEST 2013

Hi Guys,

I tested the "verify = 4" once again on a different server.  It works
like a charm.

Please make sure that the certificate provided with CAfile really
contains the peer certificate.

The basic test would be:
$ openssl x509 -in peer.pem -noout -text | grep -E 'Subject:|DNS:'
The result should contain the FQDN of your peer.

Otherwise please post your peer.pem to the list.  Certificates are
public anyway (unlike private keys), so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Mike
