More peer cert info export, new verify option
by Michal Vaško 05 Aug '14

05 Aug '14

Hello, for our current use-case we needed to add functionality to stunnel and therefore have made few patches. We distribute these patches with our software and were wondering what do you think about including them directly in stunnel. Firstly, we need peer certificate fingerprints in MD5, SHA1, SHA224, SHA256, SHA384 and SHA512. Patched stunnel exports all these in separate variables "SSL_CLIENT_*". Secondly, we could need subjectAltName values. Patched stunnel exports these in "SSL_CLIENT_SAN", but only rfc822Name, iPAddress and dNSName as we need only these. It could easily be expanded to all the values. Lastly, we required verification as if we first used verify = 2 and after failing trying verify = 4 (verify = 3 is technically verify = 2 AND verify = 4, if I am not wrong, and we need verify = 2 OR verify = 4). For this purpose my patch adds new verify = 5 option. I want to say that we did not just make all these requirements up, but we want to conform to RFCs describing NETCONF over TLS and its configuration. All the patches are included so you can go through them. Thank you. Kind regards, Michal Vasko

I have already requested the CD of software from OpenSSL -- that section does not really assist with the build functions.

OpenVPN over stunnel
by Derek Cole 24 Jul '14

24 Jul '14

Hello, I am doing something similar to what is happening in this scenario: http://kyl191.net/2012/12/tunneling-openvpn-through-stunnel/ That is, I have set my openvpn client configuration to be "remote localhost port" where port is the port my stunnel client is listening on the same box as my openvpn client. This seems to work - I get connected to OpenVPN server fine, however, I don't seem to be able to ping the openvpn server by either of it's public or private ip addresses. In fact, it seems like when I do a tcpdump on the stunnel server, I don't see any incoming traffic on port 443. How is it possible that I am getting the VPN connection, but then the rest of the traffic just sort of stops going through stunnel? My stunnel client service looks like the following: [openvpn] accept = 127.0.0.1:5150 connect = stunnelserver:443 and my stunnel server looks like: [ovpnout] cert = mycert.pem accept = 443 connect = openvpn server Any ideas?

FIPS compliant Stunnel build
by Michael Curran 24 Jul '14

24 Jul '14

Hello -- Is Stunnel (any version) compatible with Fips-2.0 for compliance? I have found one individuals instructions for compiling fips-2.0.5 , but he calls out a prefix= in his configure for FIPS which breaks 140-2 compliance rules and makes the build no longer viable >From the Fips-2.0 userguide "Note that as a condition of the FIPS 140-2 validation no other user specified configuration optionsmay be specified. This restriction means that an optional install prefix cannot be specified –however, there is no restriction on subsequent manual relocation of the generated files to thedesired final location." I know that Stunnel compiles just fine with OpenSSL1.0.1 versions, but there appears to have been a difference in the method of validation and installation of FIPS modules into a seperate modular directory, and is not located in the openssl/include files after build now The stunnel configure script only looks for fips-1.0 as well , so my base assumption is might not be capable of handling FIPS-2.0 at this time.

CApath not working anymore
by Jordan Paschalidis 17 Jul '14

Hello, i have an existing stunnel-installation with CApath. I tried to setup a new stunnel-version, and copied all certifictes and had allwas an error like 2014.07.16 09:50:36 LOG7[15937:0]: Starting certificate verification: depth=1, /C=DE/emailAddress=ssladmin(a)v.de 2014.07.16 09:50:36 LOG4[15937:0]: CERT: Verification error: self signed certificate in certificate chain 2014.07.16 09:50:36 LOG4[15937:0]: Certificate check failed: depth=1, /C=DE/emailAddress=ssladmin(a)v.de 2014.07.16 09:50:36 LOG7[15937:0]: SSL alert (write): fatal: bad certificate 2014.07.16 09:50:36 LOG3[15937:0]: SSL_accept: 140890B2: error:140890B2:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE:no certificate returned 2014.07.16 09:50:36 LOG5[15937:0]: Connection reset: 0 byte(s) sent to SSL, 0 byte(s) sent to socket i had an hard time to find out that CApath is not working anymore. I put for test all certificates into a file and used CAfile and immediately the connection was established. Does somebody know why CApath is not working anymore? Tested with stunnel 5.02, 4.56, 4.55, 4.54 cheers, jordan

telnet-ssl protocol?
by Edoardo Spadolini 11 Jul '14

11 Jul '14

I'm disappointed by the lack of customization available in telnetd-ssl, so I wanted to add a "telnet-ssl" protocol to stunnel. Can anyone give me some pointers on how to go about doing that? Kerio

Question in using stunnel
by Sara Baghbanzadeh 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

Hi there, I have a proxy (PHP file) which I want it to work as a server for me. I have PhantomJS as my client which loads particular url and instead of sending its requests to the main server it will send them to my proxy. I am going to send it back its responses. I have no problem when the website is based on HTTP. But, since my proxy cannot deal with SSL, I have problem with HTTPS websites. Actually, I have a database contains all the requests and responses which I captured by Fiddler. I use this database when I want to send a response to PhantomJS. Now, I cannot fill out my database since I cannot capture completely decrypted traffic using none of existing tools. Also I need to receive decrypted request from PhantomJS! Therefore, I decided to use stunnel for solving my problem. I am going to use it in order to decrypt all the requests from PhantomJS, and then, send them to my proxy, and also encrypt all my responses, before sending back to PhantomJS. I have installed latest version of stunnel on my Ubuntu machine and have generated a config file. I could not solve my problem using stunnel so far and my question is: Can stunnel solve my problem? I mean, can I use stunnel in order to decrypt PhantomJS's requests and encrypt my responses? ... If yes, could you please tell me how? Thank you so much and I am eagerly waiting to receive your response. Thanks in advance, Best regards, Sara

Re: [stunnel-users] OpenSSL FIPS header not found - version 5.02
by Hui Yu 26 Jun '14

No, you don't need to do "make depend". Just follow my exact steps, it is enough to compile a FIPS enabled stunnel. I did it on the 64 bits centos linux (linux-x86_64) and redhat linux (linux-generic32) , so that is probably the only change you need. Good luck.
