Stunnel and CryptoAPI
by ratmahat＠hush.ai 15 Aug '11

Hello everyone! I have an interesting question, which i didn't find any answer to after several searches. 1. What if I want to enable client verification with client certificate provided by smart card? Is it possible? 2. Does stunnel has the capability to access Windows certificate store in order to verificate the client certificate with the CA in the store? If anyone ever dealt with this, I'd really appreciate this. Thanks, Rat.

Odd stunnel problem
by Tristan Schmelcher 09 Aug '11

09 Aug '11

My company uses stunnel on a telecom product and we have run into a strange problem. One of our customers sees an issue every couple weeks where the stunnel process becomes busted. Attempts to establish a connection through stunnel to any host hang indefinitely. Interface stats indicate that stunnel sends and receives a flurry of packets--as if a TLS connection was successfully established--but the local plaintext socket connection to stunnel never passes data. For example, if attempting to run telnet over stunnel, the telnet client just sits there and doesn't write anything to the terminal. During this time the network is otherwise functioning fine. Unfortunately nothing is logged by stunnel when this happens and we haven't been able to reproduce the problem in a controlled environment. Does anyone have any ideas what might be happening? We currently use stunnel 4.35 with debug = warning, sslVersion = TLSv1, and verify = 2.

Tray icon options
by Sebastian Rose-Indorf 08 Aug '11

08 Aug '11

Hello, many thanks for the new Stunnel versions! I have installed 4.42b3 manually (Vista SP2 64 bit). The tray icon options "Edit stunnel.conf" and "Reload stunnel.conf" do not find the conf file, and the option "Manual" has no effect. At program start Stunnel finds the Conf file without problems (start link: "drive1/path1/stunnel.exe drive2/path2/stunnel.conf"). Greetings seb

Re: [stunnel-users] webmail compose page get expire and logout
by jayesh.shinde 08 Aug '11

Hi Ludolf , Sorry for my previous typing mistake , There is *no* firewall rules between any of my 3 servers My problem is when I open webmail with https:// and compose any email and click on send button then page is getting expire and I am getting logout. Kindly note that my other webmail pages with https:// are working properly. Where as with http:// the compose email and send works properly without any problem. That is if I open the webmail vai stunnel https config then only problem comes. So I am searching solution and config option with the same. Let me know if any config info require from my end. I am checking out with the option which you have suggested and will reply you shortly.

webmail compose page get expire and logout
by jayesh.shinde 08 Aug '11

08 Aug '11

Dear All , I am trying to setup a load balancing under webmail on my test servers. Here is my setup details :-- Total server are 3 servers. i.e ( 2 backend webmail server and 1 front server ) On one server I have installed haproxy-1.4.15.tar.gz + stunnel-4.41.tar.gz with http:// and https:// Another two servers are installed with squirrelmail . my problem:-- ========== 1) When I access the webmail by https://webmail.domain.com and compose any email and click on send button , the page is getting expire and I am getting log out from webmail. In Firefox there is no error on browser , where as in internet explorer I am getting below error with popup window :-- *Error Popup* :-- ============ "do you want to view only the webpage content that was deliver securely. This webpage contain the content that will not be delivered using the secure HTTPS connection, which could compromise the security of entire webpage." Where as if I check with http://webmail.domain.com , then the mail compose and send work properly. Here is the stunnel.conf :-- =================== [root@jayesh ~]# cat /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf cert=/opt/ssl/ssl.key/mail_domain_com.crt key=/opt/ssl/ssl.key/domain.key setuid=stunnel setgid=stunnel pid=/var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid output = /var/log/stunnel.log debug = 7 socket=l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket=r:TCP_NODELAY=1 [https] accept=192.168.30.200:443 connect=192.168.30.200:81 TIMEOUTclose = 0 session = 600 TIMEOUTbusy = 600 TIMEOUTclose = 300 TIMEOUTconnect = 600 I checked by defining the TIMEOUTs but I am not able to figure out why the page is getting expire and I am getting logout ? There is firewall rule between any servers. Please suggest me and guide on this issue. I am stuck here. Regards Jayesh Shinde

anyone got a port for android?
by Jason Haar 05 Aug '11

05 Aug '11

Hi there Exchange email doesn't work on Android for us because we have a requirement for using client certs to protect the ActiveSync over HTTPS transactions. If I had stunnel, I could sync with localhost and stunnel could do the client cert-foo.... So does anyone know of a working stunnel implementation for Android (or even something else that does the same job?) Thanks -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.

Hi, I just upgrade stunner on a FreeBSD server from 4.35 to 4.41 using the ports, I restarted the server and notice that stunnel was not listen to any port, I had to manually restart it so it could work again.
