Configuring stunnel to use p12 and p7b in client mode
by Eduard Witteveen 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Hello, I'm trying to get stunnel running on my local system, so it will connect to the remote a host, which requires authentication with this p12 file(with password). I also have the chain of trust which is in the p7b file. The reason why i want to do this, is that the remote host exposes a soap interface by https, and i think it would be a good idea to tunnel the communications with stunnel, so a transparant configuration can be used. Also, this would mean there is no configuration needed for the browser anymore, since it can connect to the localhost instead of to the remoteserver. I've tested the p12(certificate PKCS12?) and (trust chain PKCS7?) files with internet explorer and firefox. They work(i can browse the remotehost), but i still have to enter the password. I've converted the p12 and p7b files into dem files with the following commands: > openssl pkcs12 -in certificate.p12 -out certificate.pem > Enter Import Password: > MAC verified OKK > Enter PEM pass phrase: > Verifying - Enter PEM pass phrase firefox: store as PEM with chain chain.p7b --> chain.pem Config: > key=certificate.pem > CAfile=chain.pem > client=yes > debug=7 > output=stunnel.log > verify=1 > [http] > accept=80 > connect=www.remoteserver.com:443 > TIMEOUTclose=0 Command: > sudo /usr/bin/stunnel4 stunnel.conf Error: > 009.03.11 00:58:10 LOG5[30424:3082909360]: Threading:PTHREAD > SSL:ENGINE > Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP > 2009.03.11 00:58:10 LOG6[30424:3082909360]: file ulimit = 1024 (can be > changed with 'ulimit -n') > 2009.03.11 00:58:10 LOG6[30424:3082909360]: poll() used - no > FD_SETSIZE > limit for file descriptors > 2009.03.11 00:58:10 LOG5[30424:3082909360]: 500 clients allowed > 2009.03.11 00:58:10 LOG7[30424:3082909360]: FD 10 in non-blocking mode > 2009.03.11 00:58:10 LOG7[30424:3082909360]: FD 11 in non-blocking mode > 2009.03.11 00:58:10 LOG7[30424:3082909360]: FD 12 in non-blocking mode > 2009.03.11 00:58:10 LOG7[30424:3082909360]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on > accept socket > 2009.03.11 00:58:10 LOG7[30424:3082909360]: http bound to 0.0.0.0:80 > 2009.03.11 00:58:10 LOG7[30430:3082909360]: Created pid file > /var/run/stunnel4.pid > > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082909360]: http accepted FD=13 from > 127.0.0.1:59793 > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: http started > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: FD 13 in non-blocking mode > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: Waiting for a libwrap > process > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: Acquired libwrap process > #0 > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: Releasing libwrap process > #0 > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: Released libwrap process > #0 > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: http permitted by libwrap > from > 127.0.0.1:59793 > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG5[30430:3082738576]: http accepted connection > from > 127.0.0.1:59793 > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: FD 14 in non-blocking mode > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: http connecting > ${REMOTESERVER_IP}:443 > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: connect_wait: waiting 10 > seconds > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: connect_wait: connected > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG5[30430:3082738576]: http connected remote > server > from 10.0.2.15:38710 > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: Remote FD=14 initialized > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: SSL state (connect): > before/connect initialization > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 > write > client hello A > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 > read > server hello A > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG4[30430:3082738576]: VERIFY ERROR: depth=0, > error=unable to get local issuer certificate: ${UNIQUE NAME} > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: SSL alert (write): fatal: > bad > certificate > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG3[30430:3082738576]: SSL_connect: 14090086: > error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate > verify > failed > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG5[30430:3082738576]: Connection reset: 0 bytes > sent > to SSL, 0 bytes sent to socket > 2009.03.11 00:58:20 LOG7[30430:3082738576]: http finished (0 left) (${UNIQUE NAME} / ${REMOTESERVER_IP} were replaced) Tested by connecting the browser to http://127.0.0.1:80/ How can i get stunnel to redirect http://127.0.0.1:80/ to http://remoteserver:443/ and use the certificate and chain to validate the connection?

Stunnel 4.26 compile issue against openssl 0.9.8j + openssl-fips-1.2
by David W Blaine 10 Mar '09

10 Mar '09

Hi all, When I compile against OpenSSL 0.9.8j + OpenSSL-FIPS-1.2 module on Centos 4.7, I get an error in client.c: client.o(.text+0x1dd): In function `init_ssl': /tmp/stunnel-4.27/src/client.c:333: undefined reference to `FIPS_set_prng_key' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [stunnel] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/stunnel-4.27/src' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 It seems this call is related to a bug in OpenSSL-FIPS-1.1.1 module according to the comments. Checking the references in the includes for both OpenSSL 0.9.8j and OpenSSL-FIPS-1.2, I found that the call should be "fips_set_prng_key" with 3 arguments (the above requires only 2). So based on the comments, I removed it and I was able to successfully compile and install. Not sure if that is the right thing to do??? Dave

email through clients where no port number defined - like Outlook Express
by Richard Brust 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

A few days ago, sent an email in regards to a CRM program attempting to access GMail where no port number definitions are possible. That email (or part of it) is below, but after a bit more diag, I found that the email client was communicating with stunnel, but was not getting past that to GMail (or stunnel was not getting to GMail, not sure how to tell). I also realized that the settings of this application are similar to Outlook Express - email server defined, but no ability to specify port number. Does anyone have stunnel working with Outlook Express? I have a feeling the stunnel settings for that would be similar to what I need. Thanks, and the original email is below I am attempting to send/receive to GMail through a CRM program (contains email client) called ACT! (http://www.act.com) ACT! only allows server addresses in the program configuration, NOT port numbers. (e.g. smtp.gmail.com or 127.0.0.1 - nothing else) I have configured stunnel 4.26 as such: ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting debug = 7 output = stunnel.log ; Use it for client mode client = yes ; Service-level configuration [pop] accept = localhost:110 connect = pop.gmail.com:995 [smtp] accept = localhost:25 connect = smtp.gmail.com:465 and in ACT as such: SMTP as localhost POP as localhost (also have tried 127.0.0.1, but with no difference).

Stunnel for tunneling all traffic (vpn)
by BS TLC 06 Mar '09

06 Mar '09

Is it possible to create 2 virtual interfaces, for tunnelling all traffic (vpn)? With ssh program it's quite simple: with the -w option 2 new (tunnel) interfaces are created (for example tun0 and tun1), and it's possible to create a vpn for all type of traffic.

stunnel with libwrap does not disconnect from terminal
by Lars Kruse 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hi, starting with v4.21, stunnel does not disconnect from the terminal anymore. This can cause problems, if the caller does not redirect stdout/stderr to /dev/null. This did not happen with v4.20. The problem disappears, when I use he "--disable-libwrap" configure switch when compiling stunnel. I am running debian testing on i386 with the stunnel4 package 4.22-2. How to reproduce: 1) stunnel config file: setuid = lars pid = /tmp/stunnel.pid [server] connect = 8080 accept = 443 cert = /some/file 2) command line: cat stunnel.conf | stunnel4 -fd 0 3) process list: erker:~/ttt/stunnel/testing/stunnel-4.26# ps -ef| grep stun lars 29599 1 0 13:47 pts/1 00:00:00 src/stunnel -fd 0 lars 29600 1 0 13:47 pts/1 00:00:00 src/stunnel -fd 0 lars 29601 1 0 13:47 pts/1 00:00:00 src/stunnel -fd 0 lars 29602 1 0 13:47 pts/1 00:00:00 src/stunnel -fd 0 lars 29603 1 0 13:47 pts/1 00:00:00 src/stunnel -fd 0 lars 29604 1 0 13:47 ? 00:00:00 src/stunnel -fd 0 4) FDs of spawned processes: erker:~/ttt/stunnel/testing/stunnel-4.26# ls -l /proc/29599/fd lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jan 10 13:50 1 -> /dev/pts/1 lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jan 10 13:47 2 -> /dev/pts/1 lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Jan 10 13:50 3 -> socket:[903037] Is this the expected behaviour? I use stunnel in one of my projects (http://cryptonas.org) and it started to hang with v4.22. After redirecting stdout/stderr to /dev/null, the program works again. I assume, that stunnel should take care for stdout/stderr on its own, when started in daemon mode, right? thanks for your great work! Lars

No Tray Icon in XP SP3
by Zepp 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hi all: I am running Stunnel 4.26 in Windows XP SP3. The issue I'm having is that the tray icon is missing when I install and run Stunnel as a service. the program works fine, and it shows up on the process list okay, but no tray icon appears at all. I scanned the help file and saw an option called taskbar which is supposed to be toggled on by default. I added it to the conf file anyway, and it didn't make any difference. The only way I've been able to get the icon to show is to start Stunnel by adding a shortcut to the Startup folder. Is there an option I'm missing? Thanks much! Zepp

Stunnel error
by Reinier van der Gugten 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

Hi, I use the STunnel tool to connect to my Ms-SQL database. And so far this works nice. However at one organization I have the following problem: << connect_wait: s_poll_wait timeout>> And the connection fails. Here is the log file and config file. Can you give me any hints how to check where it goes wrong? Thanks.

The rsync job (873) failed after the IP of the stunnel host had changed. I had to manually restart stunnel to get the job done and put the cron script back again. delay = yes does not with work with ddns. Regards, Adamson H
