Honor --sysconfdir and --localstatedir in stunnel.conf-sample.in
by Sebastian Kayser 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

Hi, I am packaging stunnel for opencsw.org. Would you guys mind merging a patch [1] to make use of --sysconfdir and --localstatedir (instead of @prefix@/{etc,var}) in the sample configuration file? Currently, if --sysconfdir and --localstatedir are passed to ./configure and are not a directory below prefix, the configuration file doesn't reflect this layout. The patch is against 4.33. Fedora seems to carry the same change [2].

stunnel and loading keys from hw devices
by Victor Wagner 20 Aug '10

20 Aug '10

Hello, all I've tried to use stunnel with keys on the hardware device, supported by OpenSSL engine and encountered some minor problems: 1. Under Unix systems stunnel doesn't provide UI_METHOD for ENGINE_load_private_key. It passes NULL there and engine complains that no user interface provided. On Unix in many cases default UI_METHOD provided by OpenSSL would do So, replacing line 302 in the ctx.c (line number are given for release 4.33) from uim=NULL ; to uim=UI_OpenSSL(); would significanly improve stunnel functionality. 2. OpenSSL UI objects have two methods to pass arbitraty pointers along 1. generic ex_data based macros UI_set_app_data/UI_get_app_data 2. UI-specific UI_add_user_data/UI_get0_user_data Unfortunately app-specific pointer is set inside engine and retrieved inside a callback, which belongs to application. So author of an engine and author of an application should somehow agree on which metod to use. All engines shipped with OpenSSL (ones which do provide load_private_key method) use UI_add_user_data to pass data to the callback. stunnel's pin_cb (for Win32 version of stunnel in the gui.c) uses UI_get_app_data to retrieve ui_data. I wonder what engine was used when this code was developed and debugged. And it does no check if any meaningful pointer is obtained. I suggest to add following code after line 602 in gui.c: /* if set_app_Data haven't-return anything */ if (!ui_data) ui_data=UI_get0_user_data(ui); /* if still no avail */ if (!ui_data) { s_log(LOG_ERR,"Engine haven't passed our callback data to callback. Sorry!"); return 0; } Or instead of complaining we can use some structure, local to function pin_cb as fallback UI_DATA - just as password buffer, and check if ui_data->section is not NULL before reading ui_data->section->key in the pass_proc (line 543 of gui.c) Thus it would work even with really broken engines which do not pass userdata from ENGINE_load_private_key to UI callbacks at all. ----- End forwarded message -----

help - SSL bandwidth overhead with using different ciphers
by Slim Ben Mahmoud 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

Dear SSL experts, In order to assess the performances of an adaptive security algorithm using SSL, I need to measure the network overhead induced by the establishment of SSL tunnels. The experiment aims to measure the bandwidth consumptions (or throughputs) when SSL tunnels are established using the different ciphers implemented in Stunnel (AES256-SHA or RC4-SHA for instance). Do you think that I have to expect a different throughput when I use different ciphers for every tunnels or the overhead is the pretty much the same? In fact, the first results show no difference between the throughputs no matter the cipher I use. I know that SSL overhead is traditionally measured in delay or latency because of the handshake phase (the encryption process time is negligible on the new CPUs) but this is not what i want to show. I hope that my request is enough clear, let me know if it is not the case. Best regards. --Slim

Reason why I am asking you because when I log off the server then stunnel's process stopped running but I want it keep running after logoff.

problem with "verify=0"
by wujot＠home.pl 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

Hello everybody, The basic SSL negotiation requires the exchange of nine SSL messages. If client authentication is required, server can send additional message "certificate request". But this message is optional. I'm using stunnel ver. 4.27 for Win and 4.28 for Linux. In both cases stunnel, working as server, is sending "certificate request" message to the client, regardless of "verify" state, even with "verify=0". When "verify=0", server doesn't care about client's certificate. So, what for server sends this message? The part of my configuration and log is bellow: [test] accept = 60000 connect = 192.168.3.15:4679 client = no ;verify = 0 verify = none ciphers=DES-CBC3-SHA session = 3600 2010.07.07 12:53:35 LOG7[2412:4280]: SSL state (accept): before/accept initialization 2010.07.07 12:53:35 LOG7[2412:4280]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client hello A 2010.07.07 12:53:35 LOG7[2412:4280]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write server hello A 2010.07.07 12:53:35 LOG7[2412:4280]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write certificate A 2010.07.07 12:53:35 LOG7[2412:4280]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write certificate request A <-------------???!!! 2010.07.07 12:53:35 LOG7[2412:4280]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 flush data 2010.07.07 12:53:42 LOG6[2412:4280]: VERIFY IGNORE: depth=1, /C= .............. 2010.07.07 12:53:42 LOG5[2412:4280]: CRL: verification passed 2010.07.07 12:53:42 LOG5[2412:4280]: VERIFY OK: depth=1, /C= .......... 2010.07.07 12:53:42 LOG6[2412:4280]: VERIFY IGNORE: depth=0, /C= ................ 2010.07.07 12:53:42 LOG5[2412:4280]: CRL: verification passed 2010.07.07 12:53:42 LOG5[2412:4280]: VERIFY OK: depth=0, /C= .......................... 2010.07.07 12:53:42 LOG7[2412:4280]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client certificate A 2010.07.07 12:53:42 LOG7[2412:4280]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read client key exchange a 2010.07.07 12:53:42 LOG7[2412:4280]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read certificate verify A 2010.07.07 12:53:42 LOG7[2412:4280]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 read finished A 2010.07.07 12:53:42 LOG7[2412:4280]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write change cipher spec A 2010.07.07 12:53:42 LOG7[2412:4280]: SSL state (accept): SSLv3 write finished A So, my question is: how to remove "certificate request" message from stunnel-as-server negotiation?
