Hello, Till some recent time, I was using "socat" (http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/) to create a SSL-wrapper (in a way similar to what "stunnel" does). I was using: === socat -ly -d -d openssl-listen:443,bind=X.X.X.X,fork,reuseaddr,cipher=HIGH:3DES:MD5,cert=server-cert.pem,key=server-key.pem,verify=0 tcp4:Y.Y.Y.Y:P === It was working pretty well, without interruptions, although it got some estability problems when passing 1-2 months (server apparently get stuck). So I decided to give a try to "stunnel". I switched to "stunnel" and problems arise... I'm experimenting *very* frequent connection cuts. If I examine daemon.log (I'm using Debian 5), I have: Oct 20 12:06:36 hetzner stunnel: LOG3[3677:3083029392]: SSL_read: 140EC071: error:140EC071:SSL routines:SSL2_READ_INTERNAL:bad mac decode Oct 20 12:06:36 hetzner stunnel: LOG5[3677:3083029392]: Connection reset: 315484 bytes sent to SSL, 50471 bytes sent to socket So it seems stunnel is closing the connection due to a "bad mac decode" error. My environment (client and server) have not changed, I only switched "the transport" (socat -> stunnel). Any idea why is it failing now? Moreover, if I switch back to socat, cuts disappear. Is stunnel buggy? Am I missing some config/tunning at the SSL/socket level? My current config is: roman@hetzner:~$ stunnel4 -sockets Socket option defaults: Option Accept Local Remote OS default SO_DEBUG -- -- -- 0 SO_DONTROUTE -- -- -- 0 SO_KEEPALIVE -- -- -- 0 SO_LINGER -- -- -- 0:0 SO_OOBINLINE -- -- -- 0 SO_RCVBUF -- -- -- 87380 SO_SNDBUF -- -- -- 16384 SO_RCVLOWAT -- -- -- 1 SO_SNDLOWAT -- -- -- 1 SO_RCVTIMEO -- -- -- 0:0 SO_SNDTIMEO -- -- -- 0:0 SO_REUSEADDR 1 -- -- 0 SO_BINDTODEVICE -- -- -- -- IP_TOS -- -- -- 0 IP_TTL -- -- -- 64 TCP_NODELAY -- -- -- 0 root@hetzner:~# stunnel4 -version stunnel 4.22 on i486-pc-linux-gnu with OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007 Threading:PTHREAD SSL:ENGINE Sockets:POLL,IPv6 Auth:LIBWRAP Global options debug = 5 pid = /var/run/stunnel4.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes Service-level options cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = AES:ALL:!aNULL:!eNULL:+RC4:@STRENGTH key = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem session = 300 seconds stack = 65536 bytes sslVersion = SSLv3 for client, all for server TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds verify = none My stunnel.conf is very simple. Apart from cert setup, the tunnel is something like: === [tunelserv] accept = X.X.X:X:443 connect = X.X.X.X:P === Any idea? Thank you in advance. Cheers, -Roman

multiple domain certificates
by Andrew Farmer 23 Oct '09

Does stunnel support multiple domain certificates? I am trying to get stunnel to work with multiple domains on a machine that can have only one IP address. (It is an amazon EC2 instance - they do not support multiple IPs per instance) It seems to me that the only way to get this to work is with a multiple domain certificate, which I believe is called a "Unified Communications Certificate". Does stunnel support these? Thank you so much, Andrew -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/multiple-domain-certificates-tp25897355p25897355.html Sent from the Stunnel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

https problems over TLSv1
by Al Gonzalez 20 Oct '09

20 Oct '09

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide... I am trying to talk to a UHF radio (from a PC) over a secure channel, but having some difficulties. Please let me provide just a little background so you know why I’m doing what I’m doing. In the existing system, Internet Explorer (IE) is the client that talks to this radio. When the radio boots up, it sends a webpage over Ethernet to IE and (after the user login), a secure link is established, and the radio can be controlled from IE – the various webpages change as the user maneuvers through the various dropdowns, etc. We’ve been asked to automate this interface now for a production environment. The client is going to be replaced with a PC connected to a great deal of test equipment, and the server will now send XML instead of html to the client. The client is being developed in LabVIEW (from National Instruments) – this has made this task even more challenging. As all of this secure stuff is new to me, I spent many hours just trying to understand the problem(s) and the lingo. As LabVIEW has some limitations in this area, I found that Stunnel was my best option. Using TCP/IP and sending http to the radio (shown below), I’ve been able (in a non-secure mode, without Stunnel) to communicate and get the opening screen (html) to be returned to me (the XML server output is currently being developed) and displayed in a LabVIEW window. GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: 10.4.32.1 Connection: Keep-Alive Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46UgEkJHdvtmQx Credentials: admin:Password I downloaded the binary version of Stunnel.exe (version 4.27 with OpenSSL 0.9.8k dated Mar 2009), then modified the LabVIEW code to call (using a command line approach) Stunnel. In this way, I can’t provide any (dash) options, so it’s completely dependent on the stunnel.conf file. After a number of attempts, I was able to get the client to bind to the server (I think), but I see nothing being returned to me (no html). I must use TLSv1, and ciphers = DES-CBC3-SHA. I’ve seen examples on stunnel.org that show a great deal more handshaking information than I’m seeing, so I’m wondering if I’m missing some detail in my conf file. For example, my log file ends like this 2009.10.16 13:18:49 LOG7[4812:4776]: FD 208 in non-blocking mode 2009.10.16 13:18:49 LOG7[4812:4776]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket 2009.10.16 13:18:49 LOG7[4812:4776]: https bound to 10.4.1.8:443 But the example I mentioned goes on after the “https bound” and adds things like … 2009.08.04 12:15:55 LOG7[16648:22996]: proxy accepted FD=320 from 127.0.0.1:48086 2009.08.04 12:15:55 LOG7[16648:22996]: Creating a new thread 2009.08.04 12:15:55 LOG7[16648:22996]: New thread created 2009.08.04 12:15:55 LOG7[16648:8540]: proxy started 2009.08.04 12:15:55 LOG7[16648:8540]: FD 320 in non-blocking mode 2009.08.04 12:15:55 LOG7[16648:8540]: TCP_NODELAY option set on local socket 2009.08.04 12:15:55 LOG5[16648:8540]: proxy accepted connection from 127.0.0.1:48086 2009.08.04 12:15:55 LOG7[16648:8540]: FD 340 in non-blocking mode 2009.08.04 12:15:55 LOG7[16648:8540]: proxy connecting 89.149.253.125:8080 2009.08.04 12:15:55 LOG7[16648:8540]: connect_wait: waiting 10 seconds 2009.08.04 12:15:56 LOG7[16648:8540]: connect_wait: connected 2009.08.04 12:15:56 LOG5[16648:8540]: proxy connected remote server from 192.168.2.3:48088 2009.08.04 12:15:56 LOG7[16648:8540]: Remote FD=340 initialized 2009.08.04 12:15:56 LOG7[16648:8540]: TCP_NODELAY option set on remote socket 2009.08.04 12:15:56 LOG7[16648:8540]: SSL state (connect): before/connect initialization 2009.08.04 12:15:56 LOG7[16648:8540]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 write client hello A 2009.08.04 12:15:56 LOG7[16648:8540]: SSL state (connect): SSLv3 read server hello A . . . 2009.08.04 12:15:57 LOG6[16648:8540]: SSL connected: new session negotiated 2009.08.04 12:15:57 LOG6[16648:8540]: Negotiated ciphers: AES256-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA1 That make’s me think that I’m not quite there yet. I’ve attached my stunnel.conf, my log file, and the http request I’m making (above). I’m hoping you can find some flaws in my conf file that will get me closer. Other than receiving html, I’m not sure how to know that I truly have a secure connection. I’m thinking I should see a little more in my log file, but I’m not sure. The other thing I’m not sure about (as I’ve heard differing thoughts) is whether I have to Encrypt my http commands, or does stunnel take care of that somehow? If I have to encypt, how would I go about doing this? Also, (and I’m getting ahead of myself) do I have to open and close a session every time I want to talk, or do I somehow leave the channel open? I’ve read about Session Resumption, but I’m not sure if that is something I need to setup in the conf file, or if that can even be controlled by Stunnel.

MySQL replication with stunnel, connection closed after some time
by Marcel Kirsch 16 Oct '09

16 Oct '09

Hello, I have a problem regarding stunnel and MySQL replication. I use replication to keep our database synchronous with a second database, which stands in our building. The secure connection via stunnel works and "SHOW SLAVE STATUS;" shows, that the replication is working. Because the master database is rarely used at the moment, sometimes there are no changes (insert, update or delete) made for an hour. Unfortunately it seems that stunnel disconnects the connection between the databases after some time. The client database still thinks that it is connected to the master server, because it still is connected to port 3307 (which is stunnel of course). So now the changes made in the master database are no longer replicated. Is there any way to configure stunnel to keep the connection between the to servers alive even after an hour of zero traffic? I thought that TIMEOUTidle would be the answer to my problem, but it had no effect. I really hope you can help me and thanks for your suggestions in advance. Greetings, Marcel Kirsch This is my current configuration: Client: ; Certificate/key is needed in server mode and optional in client mode cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem key = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem

I think the timeout is caused by the TCP state expired rater than by stunnel. I think enabling TCP keepalives could be an effective workaround: socket = l:SO_KEEPALIVE=1 socket = r:SO_KEEPALIVE=1 The trick is to generate some traffic on an idle connection to convince the network device that this TCP connection is not dead. An alternative solution would be to increase the TCP state timeout on the network device. Best regards, Mike

bind error when specifying hostname
by Andrew Farmer 14 Oct '09

14 Oct '09

Hi! I'm not sure if this message was sent to the mailing list the first time... I was not subscribed before but I am now. I'm trying to configure stunnel to use a different CERT depending upon the hostname that my server is accessed on. (Same server has multiple hostnames) Is this feature supported? I didn't get very far before running into issues. This configuration works: (so I know nothing else is bound on port 443) [https] accept = 443 ... etc ... This configuration fails: [https] accept = nmw3.com:443 ... etc ... with this error: 2009.10.09 14:49:18 LOG3[31137:3086100144]: Error binding https to 75.101.155.94:443 2009.10.09 14:49:18 LOG3[31137:3086100144]: bind: Cannot assign requested address (99) So I tried a simpler configuration: [https] accept = 127.0.0.1:443 ... etc ... and that fails with this error: 2009.10.09 14:56:28 LOG3[31222:3086722736]: Error binding https to 127.0.0.1:443 2009.10.09 14:56:28 LOG3[31222:3086722736]: bind: Address already in use (98) Appreciate all your help!

Re: [stunnel-users] rewrite Destination: when rewriting Host:

Sometime near 2007-11-11 00:15 -0500, Marcio Marchini shouted: > Researching online one can see that WebDAV's spec requires that they > check both src and dest URLs for protocol & port. But with some proxies or > SSL fronts like stunnel, only one of the URLs is rewritten, so one goes as > http and the other as https. Here's one person explaining it, much better > than me: http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2006-03/0549.shtml Stunnel doesn't currently have the ability to scan and re-write the plaintext. For HTTP redirects it could possibly be implemented (re-write only the response before ^$, and redirects aren't chunked and don't have content lengths to work with, etc) but you'd still need enough HTTP logic to handle keepalives and such. It's not trivial and not likely. Another option would be to have something already HTTP aware doing the rewriting in between stunnel and subversion. A re-writing proxy. Another option would be to use mod_rewrite in apache to rewrite the urls. But the best way would be to just use SSL inside apache and drop stunnel entirely. -- Brian Hatch The best way to accelerate Systems and a Windows machine is at Security Engineer 9.8 meters per second http://www.ifokr.org/bri/ squared.
