by Al Birchall 16 Nov '18

Hi, Is it possible to install stunnel as a Windows service with another name? I want to have multiple instances of stunnel running on the same Windows 2008 server, if possible. Many thanks. Al

Issue with Office365 certificates

Hello, I'm encountering an issue while using sTunnel with an Office365 account. sTunnel worked properly for a few months, while it gived an error with certificates since yesterday, whilst didn't change anything in the configuration. This is our configuration: [pop3s] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:2001 connect = outlook.office365.com:995 CAfile = C:\Program Files (x86)\stunnel\config\ca-certs.pem checkHost = outlook.office365.com verifyChain = yes OCSPaia = yes This is what we get in the log: 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[main]: Found 1 ready file descriptor(s) 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[main]: FD=432 ifds=r-x ofds=--- 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[main]: Service [pop3s] accepted (FD=672) from 127.0.0.1:49619 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[main]: Creating a new thread 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[main]: New thread created 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: Service [pop3s] started 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: Setting local socket options (FD=672) 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: Option TCP_NODELAY set on local socket 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG5[30]: Service [pop3s] accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:49619 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG6[30]: failover: priority, starting at entry #0 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG6[30]: s_connect: connecting 40.101.9.178:995 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: s_connect: s_poll_wait 40.101.9.178:995: waiting 10 seconds 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG5[30]: s_connect: connected 40.101.9.178:995 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG5[30]: Service [pop3s] connected remote server from 172.31.20.23:49620 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: Setting remote socket options (FD=668) 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: Option TCP_NODELAY set on remote socket 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: Remote descriptor (FD=668) initialized 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG6[30]: SNI: sending servername: outlook.office365.com 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG6[30]: Peer certificate required 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: TLS state (connect): before/connect initialization 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: TLS state (connect): SSLv2/v3 write client hello A 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: TLS state (connect): SSLv3 read server hello A 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: Verification started at depth=2: C=US, O=DigiCert Inc, OU=www.digicert.com, CN=DigiCert Global Root CA 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: CERT: Pre-verification succeeded 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: OCSP: Ignoring root certificate 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG6[30]: Certificate accepted at depth=2: C=US, O=DigiCert Inc, OU=www.digicert.com, CN=DigiCert Global Root CA 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: Verification started at depth=1: C=US, O=DigiCert Inc, CN=DigiCert Cloud Services CA-1 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: CERT: Pre-verification succeeded 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG5[30]: OCSP: Connecting the AIA responder "http://ocsp.digicert.com" 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG6[30]: s_connect: connecting 93.184.220.29:80 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: s_connect: s_poll_wait 93.184.220.29:80: waiting 10 seconds 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG5[30]: s_connect: connected 93.184.220.29:80 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: OCSP: Connected ocsp.digicert.com:80 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: OCSP: Response received 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG6[30]: OCSP: Status: good 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG6[30]: OCSP: This update: Nov 9 00:00:00 2018 GMT 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG6[30]: OCSP: Next update: Nov 16 00:00:00 2018 GMT 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG5[30]: OCSP: Certificate accepted 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG6[30]: Certificate accepted at depth=1: C=US, O=DigiCert Inc, CN=DigiCert Cloud Services CA-1 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: Verification started at depth=0: C=US, ST=Washington, L=Redmond, O=Microsoft Corporation, CN=outlook.com 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: CERT: Pre-verification succeeded 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG6[30]: CERT: Host name "outlook.office365.com" matched with "*.office365.com" 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG5[30]: OCSP: Connecting the AIA responder "http://ocspx.digicert.com" 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG6[30]: s_connect: connecting 93.184.220.29:80 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: s_connect: s_poll_wait 93.184.220.29:80: waiting 10 seconds 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG5[30]: s_connect: connected 93.184.220.29:80 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: OCSP: Connected ocspx.digicert.com:80 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: OCSP: Response received 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG3[30]: OCSP: Responder error: 6: unauthorized 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG4[30]: Rejected by OCSP at depth=0: C=US, ST=Washington, L=Redmond, O=Microsoft Corporation, CN=outlook.com 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: TLS alert (write): fatal: handshake failure 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG3[30]: SSL_connect: 14090086: error:14090086:SSL routines:ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify failed 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG5[30]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to TLS, 0 byte(s) sent to socket 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: Deallocating application specific data for session connect address 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: Remote descriptor (FD=668) closed 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: Local descriptor (FD=672) closed 2018.11.09 11:34:09 LOG7[30]: Service [pop3s] finished (0 left) Can you please help me?

Re: [stunnel-users] Multiple Instance of sTunnel on same machine
by Shah, Marmik 31 Oct '18

31 Oct '18

I would be connecting to different Vendors using sTunnel from my machine. I want to run multiple instance of sTunnel as hosted service on Window Server. How can I achieve that ? I can do that through Terminal but I want to install stunnel service per vendor (in Service Control Manager) so that I can manage them independently and stop or start based on Vendor's requirement. I can do this through Command Prompt. Thanks Marmik ............................................................................

Being just a dumb user, i supposed the distribution should stay 'in harmony': Ok now i know for oldstable this can be solved by backports or compiling stunnel with a static openssl-lib. Upgrading to stretch is not yet a choice because i am using stunnel with 'verify=3' which results in checking the self-signed client-certs at the server: Can't tell why but my cacert file was generated with a CAFile value of FALSE, which worked until jessie but at stretch the request results in a reject by the openssl-lib because of the FALSE-value. So first i have to renew and deploy all my customers certs - about 80 - with a stretch-conform cacert performing with CAFile=true. Hans -- https://hoermann-solutions.com

Static linking is much easier, especially when put in a non-standard place, such as /usr/local/customer-name/lib -- this means if somebody does an update of say openssl alone you won't have this problem. You can also do it non-static as long as it is in a non-standard place and be pretty safe. My versions have stunnel 5.44 and openssl 1.0.2 -- works fine. It is static and keeps on ticking.
