Requests to cloud server that requires host header
by Lorne Kates 13 Nov '24

13 Nov '24

(related to Akamai message from before-- but I have better troubleshooting information). I'm tying to route traffic through stunnel to a "cloud" based-endpoint. That endpoint has a static server name-- test.authorize.net. (This is the dev sandbox for auth.net) But if you do an nslookup on test.authorize.net, you'll get back a different servername and IP, because it's so wonderfully "cloud". Stunnel apparently tries to connect to the nslookup value. The server rejects the request because it can't route it back to test.authorize.net. I've tried adding "delay = yes" and "sni = test.authorize.net", but neither work. To see this in action, a simple setup with any accept, then connect to test.authorize.net:443 in client = yes mode. This is what a valid response looks like (13 -- give me the darn merchant ID in a POST): https://test.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll This is what you'll get if you try to use stunnel (400 invalid url) : https://23.195.204.150/gateway/transact.dll So how can I get stunnel to send the proper Request Header (host: test.authorize.net) make sure it's using http/1.1, etc?

Stunnel & Gmail security
by BOXI31 TEST 16 Oct '20

16 Oct '20

Hi all, To make "Stunnel 5.31" work with Gmail, I have to go in security settings of Gmail and "allow less secure apps to access my account". Is it mandatory ? Is it possible to set Stunnel to access Gmail without lowering it security level ? How ? I checked in log file TLS v1.2 is used by Stunnel but Gmail still consider it as a "less secure app." ! Regards, Steve

stunnel w & w/o data compression
by Daniele Basaldella 18 Aug '17

18 Aug '17

Dear all, I use stunnel in clinet configuration to get data feeds from several sources. Until now none of them requested data compression, so the configuration was easy. Now I need to connect to a new data feeder that requires zlib compression. I found the compression method is a global setting, so it will be not compatible with current setup. The server runs Ubuntu 16.04LTS, ker 4.4.0.92.lowlatency, stunnel 5.30, openssl 1.0.2.g. I looked for a solution on internet but seems no one have my issue. Someone could suggest how to get both compressed/uncompressed data feed connections on same system. Thank you Best Regards Daniele

Timeout issue I think
by Ben Bazian 16 Aug '17

I have a legacy server that uses IMAP but does not support TLS. I am using stunnel and since implementation I am getting errors when an email has a larger attachment. My application process these attachments and when done (sometimes can take 5-10 minutes) it marks the message for deletion. When all messages are completed it purges the emails from the box. My app is throwing an error when it tries to delete the message (see below). I think it may be due to stunnel closing the connection to the server? Not quite sure. javax.mail.FolderClosedException at com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPMessage.getProtocol(IMAPMessage.java:105) at com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPMessage.loadEnvelope(IMAPMessage.java:941) at com.sun.mail.imap.IMAPMessage.getSubject(IMAPMessage.java:238) at com.softlinx.docurouter.source.email.EmailSourceConnector.processMess ages(EmailSourceConnector.java:1213) at com.softlinx.docurouter.source.email.EmailSourceConnector.process(Ema ilSourceConnector.java:1455) at com.softlinx.docurouter.source.email.EmailSourceConnector.main(EmailS ourceConnector.java:1622) My configuration is pretty simple. I saw somewhere that I could put a timeoutidle on the connector but that does not seem to help. Any ideas are appreciated. Here is the config. # Stunnel configuration file for Office 365 SMTP and POP3 # Author: MessageOps, www.messageops.com<http://www.messageops.com> # GLOBAL OPTIONS client = yes output = /etc/stunnel/stunnel-log.txt debug=3 # taskbar=yes # SERVICE-LEVEL OPTIONS [POP3 Incoming] accept = 110 connect = outlook.office365.com:995 timeoutidle = 14400 [SMTP Outgoing] protocol = smtp accept = 25 connect = outlook.office365.com:587 [IMAP] accept = 143 connect = outlook.office365.com:993 timeoutidle = 14400 Here is a printout of the global options.
