Certificate chain not used for server?
by Ed Kapitein 21 Mar '05

Hi all, I have a working setup of stunnel listening on port 443 and connect to the server on the same host on port 80. It is done via xinetd. Alltough everything is working just fine, clients on webbrowsers get the "you have choosen not to trust this CA" error when connecting to this server. In apache the certificate chain (bundle.ca) is used and clients connecting to the apache server wont get this error. Is there a way to make stunnel behave like apache, so the clients don't have to manually install the CA certificates? (the certificate is a vallid certificate obtained from globaslsign.be) i do have the CAfile in my options file, but this does not help. All help is greatly appreciated! Kind regards, @

Creating a man in middle attack for legit purposes.
by Todd Troutman 16 Mar '05

So I don't normally start off on a list by immediately asking a question but I've got a weird one here that's a critical thing tonight, plus, this might just be entertaining! Problem : MacOS Panther has horrible performance problems with large https web apps. So I setup Stunnel to take port 80 and run it through the web app on 443. Provides http from an https server. On a MacOS client machine I set /etc/hosts to say that system.netsuite.com, the web app, is 192.168.0.4, a handy FreeBSD 5.3 box running stunnel 4.05 It works. Sort of. Problems - the web app keeps rewriting the url from http to https, anytime I click on anything, hmmm.. so I can't make stunnel answer on 443 because then I'm back to square one. Also, I can't login, the web app is giving me a login page as http, but I get a session timeout,please login again, just repeats, unsure if something in the stunnel config should be done to fix that. Other than that, this is working. Config is currently this. client=yes accept=80 connect=system.netsuite.com:443 Anyway, so is this maybe one of the stranger uses of stunnel, possibly a wrong headed and broken way of using it, but oh well. There goes my plea for some ideas on this one, Thanks, Todd

Radius over Stunnel??
by Frazer, Andrew non Unisys 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

Hello all.. I would like to pass radius over stunnel, but I'm not sure if this will work... I have a lot of 'client's that are using RADIUS for authentication, but i want to pass the data over the internet, and radius is relatively insecure. My client machines also run a web server, which stunnel sits in front of, to provide ssl encrypted web services. My radius servers can easily run stunnel, without any issue. Could someone suggest a configuration for this??

syslog question
by Brian T 04 Mar '05

04 Mar '05

If debug=4 ( or not 0 ) and output= is commented in an stunnel config, it looks like in server mode, messages goto syslog. But in client mode, nothing goes to syslog. Is this the way it's supposed to be? -Brian

Re: [stunnel-users] long delay to close the ssl session ?
by ikeda＠areabe 04 Mar '05

If TIMEOUTclose value is positive, stunnel does not transmit TCP FIN, even though application sends TCP FIN, until timeout time expires I don't know why stunnel designer chose it, maybe because of the performance, or some others. Some of the browsers do not start to display the page until receiving the entire packet. And one of the trigger for the browser to detect to receive the whole is TCP FIN. From that things, such kind of the problem of yours occurs. regards taka On Fri, 4 Mar 2005 10:39:47 -0800 (PST), gary ng <garyng2000(a)yahoo.com> wrote: > Thanks, that did the trick.
