<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I searched the entire archive, couldn’t find the answer/solution I am looking for. I have to post to this group, and appreciate any help/suggestion from any you.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I use the latest 1.0.0 OpenSSL and 4.33 Stunnel.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I used OpenSSL commands that very similar to what is described in the following link to create the ECC certificate and the private key file.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Start Stunnel, see the following errors:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Key file: (actual path to the private key file)\HOST.KEY</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">error stack: 140B3009 : error:140B3009:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_use_RSAPrivateKey_<A HREF="file:PEM">file:PEM</A> lib</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">There was a similar posting 4-5 years ago, and Mike answered it (the answer was: Stunnel didn’t support ECC at that time).</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Seems like this is still true today. Then, when the ECC support will be added to Stunnel?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">If Stunnel already supports ECC certificate, how do I make it work?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks.</FONT>
