stunnel accept a t3 connection?
by Scott Sikorski 10 Sep '13

10 Sep '13

I am curious if stunnel can support listening for an incoming t3 connection? I am having difficulty getting t3s to work between WebSphere and WebLogic for API calls and am curious if an alternative such as stunnel will work. I have stunnel installed betwen a client and the destination host, but the client doesn't seem to want to accept a t3://127.0.0.1:14010 connection but when I change this to http://127.0.0.1:14010 it works fine. Anything you can share would be appreciated. Mostly, if it will never work, that would be nice to know as to not spend more time troubleshooting. Best Regards, Scott Sikorski scottgsikorski(a)yahoo.com

Fullduplex in stunnel
by Krzysztof Kwiatkowski 08 Sep '13

08 Sep '13

Hi, I'm planning to use stunnel to do stress testing of my application. I decided to use stunnel because I've noticed that full-duplex has been added to version 3.2 (around 1999) and my application handles high throughput. AFAIK Stunnel uses openssl. Also I know that openssl doesn't handle fullduplex traffic very well. In fact without any tricks, half-duplex is most what I could get from openssl. As the full-duplex feature has been added to stunnel in 1999 (so long time ago) can you confirm that it is still there and full-duplex is still supported? If it is a case, how it is possible that stunnel handles fullduplex? Krzysztof Kwiatkowski

IRC-Reconnect failed with "[10053] Software caused connection abort"(mIRC) and "SSL_connect: Peer suddenly disconnected"(tstunnel.exe)

Hi, I have a problem using stunnel with mIRC: I was using a pretty old version of stunnel.exe that was packed with a mIRC script and could be ran as a command-line-only application without a configuration file (supplying all necessary informations parameters). I know that current mIRC version have their own ssl support, but I prefer an old version without because it has much better performance. The old one was used by "stunnel.exe -c -d localhost:<localport> -r <irc-server-ip>:<irc-server-port>" in command line and "/server localhost:<localport>" in irc. A few of my servers stopped supporting an old ssl version, this old stunnel.exe is no longer compatible to the new (open)ssl dll files and so I had to upgrade to the most recent version of stunnel - and I have some problems make it run properly. Here you can see my configuration file (stunnel.conf): ; Sample stunnel configuration file for Win32 by Michal Trojnara 2002-2012 ; Some options used here may be inadequate for your particular configuration ; This sample file does *not* represent stunnel.conf defaults ; Please consult the manual for detailed description of available options ; ************************************************************************** ; * Global options * ; ************************************************************************** ; Debugging stuff (may useful for troubleshooting) ;debug = 7 ;output = stunnel.log ; Disable FIPS mode to allow non-approved protocols and algorithms ;fips = no ; ************************************************************************** ; * Service defaults may also be specified in individual service sections * ; ************************************************************************** ; Certificate/key is needed in server mode and optional in client mode ;cert = stunnel.pem ;key = stunnel.pem ; Authentication stuff needs to be configured to prevent MITM attacks ; It is not enabled by default!

The second line shows the new incoming connection from my mIRC. The third line? ... I got no clue why it has to block anything. The fourth line: Successfully connected to IRC-Server? And then the fifth line occurs. I'm not sure if I interpret it right, but for some reason tstunnel.exe is kicking out my connected mIRC client which makes mIRC to tell me "[10053] Software caused connection abort". The whole lines in mIRC are: [12:34pm] * Connect retry #1 localhost (7003) ------------------------------------------------------------ [12:34pm] * [10053] Software caused connection abort ------------------------------------------------------------ [12:34pm] * Disconnected By the way, I have packed libeay32.dll, ssleay32.dll, stunnel.conf and tstunnel.exe in a subdir in mIRC directory and I'm starting it using "tstunnel.exe stunnel.conf" When this error occurs, I have to kill tstunnel.exe and start it again - then everything works fine again. For 1 of 4 servers, I also had this error with the old command-line stunnel.exe and I just wrote a script killing (only this) stunnel.exe and restarting it when this mIRC error occurs. Unfortunately this is no longer possible when tstunnel.exe is using a configuration file and one process is managing all connections. Is there any way I can fix this? (Maybe by fixing the logout of my local mIRC from my local tstunnel.exe?) Best regards

Hello, I am currently working on using stunnel. I was wondering what everyones thoughts were on the creation of an init script for stunnel. This would help insure that the connections are brought up after a reboot. Or what is the best way to go about handling this? Thanks, Alan

no certificate available safari browser
by Scott McKeown 28 Aug '13

Hi Libin, If possible can you send over your STunnel config file but my guess would be that you would need to include your Root CA and Intermediate CA certificates into your PEM file. I would check to see what https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html says about your certificates another quick test would be to have a look at http://www.digicert.com/help/ to see what they also say about the certificate chains. ~Scott Hi all, > > Sever OS: Linux/Centos 5.9 > SSLServer: Stunnel > ErrorMessage: no certificate available > CertType: SSL Web Server Certificate > Client Browser: Safari 5.1. > Client OS: OS X Lion > > When i am trying to hit the URL on safari browser it shows me the messages > "no certificate available" > No certificate meet the application .
