Possible problem found in init script with 'dirty' config file
by F. J. Blanco 23 Sep '14

23 Sep '14

Hi there. Perhaps this is a foolishness, but it happens to me, triggering a great headache. I'm Debian (Wheezy) user, using stunnel 4.53-1.1. I copied the stunnel configuration from another machine for a simple LAN SMTP relay. When I tried to reload the script, I got this: # /etc/init.d/stunnel4 start > Reloading configuration SSL tunnels: /etc/init.d/stunnel4: 34: test: /var/lib/stunnel4/: unexpected operator A few hours laters, I discovered the problem was in config file, in the chroot parameter: chroot = /var/lib/stunnel4 Specifically, with a hide space at the end of the line: chroot = /var/lib/stunnel4[ ] In the init script, in the function get_pids(), this mistake caused that this checkout fails: --- if test -f $CHROOT/$PIDFILE; then cat $CHROOT/$PIDFILE fi --- 'cat /var/lib/stunnel4///stunnel.pid' is not the same as 'cat /var/lib/stunnel4/[ ]//stunnel.pid' Perhaps a suggestion, a little change here: CHROOT=`grep "^chroot" $file|sed "s;.*= *;;"` Adding a space filter: CHROOT=`grep "^chroot" $file|sed "s;.*= *;;" | tr -d " "` Regards.

Re: [stunnel-users] Stunnel as windows service doesn't start on restart.

John. Looks fine to me. Same configuration works in my Windows 7 64 bits. I have no access to Windows Server 2008 R2, but I would expect it to work the same. What are you securing with stunnel?... Perhaps the service you are securing is starting after stunnel? -----Original Message----- From: John Smith <java.dev.mtl(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2014 11:09:21 To: Jose Diaz<josealf(a)rocketmail.com> Subject: Re: [stunnel-users] Stunnel as windows service doesn't start on restart.

stunnel beta (5.04b1) is available for testing
by Michal Trojnara 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Guys, Please feel free to try the beta version I just made available for download: https://www.stunnel.org/downloads/beta/stunnel-5.04b1.tar.gz https://www.stunnel.org/downloads/beta/stunnel-5.04b1-installer.exe The list of changes includes most of the issues recently discussed on the stunnel-users mailing list and more. * New features - Support for local mode ("exec" option) on Win32. - A more explicit service description provided for the Windows SCM (thx to Pierre Delaage). - TCP/IP dependency added for NT service in order to (hopefully) prevent initialization failure at boot time. - FIPS canister updated to version 2.0.8 in the Win32 binary build. * Bugfixes - load_icon_default() modified to return copies of default icons instead of the original resources to prevent the resources from being destroyed. - Reportedly more compatible values used for the dwDesiredAccess parameter of the CreateFile() function (thx to Pierre Delaage). - Partially merged UNICODE compilation fixes (thx to Pierre Delaage). - Partially merged Windows CE patches (thx to Pierre Delaage). - Fixed typos in stunnel.init.in and vc.mak. - Fixed incorrect memory allocation statistics update in str_realloc(). - Missing REMOTE_PORT environmental variable is provided to processes spawned with "exec" on Unix platforms. - Taskbar icon is no longer disabled for NT service. Some basic examples for local mode ("exec" option) on Windows: ; Service based on a command-line tool [netstat] accept = 8015 exec = c:\windows\system32\netstat.exe execargs = netstat -a ; Remote cmd.exe protected with SSL ; Certificate-based authentication needs to be configured here! [cmd] accept = 1337 exec = c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe Mike -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEARECAAYFAlQYYkoACgkQ/NU+nXTHMtGmfwCfSdHFmK8q5IRcS/CoFmYMZ40G zUEAoNUrIp0KAJ4+0LPwx+/1lJG6q2q/ =aSXM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Support for PSK
by Thomas Conté 21 Sep '14

21 Sep '14

Hello everyone, In the context of an embedded project, I have developed a lightweight, PolarSSL-based TLS-PSK client running on an Arduino board. Now I am looking for a generic server-side solution to connect the TLK-PSK client to a few Web services living in various app servers (Node.JS, IIS, and others). Since PSK support is not widespread, I am thinking about using stunnel as a generic front-end to these services. I have done a quick-and-dirty POC of adding PSK support to stunnel and it looks like this could be done with minor modifications, e.g. adding a call to SSL_CTX_set_psk_server_callback and the corresponding callback to ctx.c. Right now the psk_key and psk_identity values are hard-coded, so of course those need to be added to the configuration file. Is the community interested in further work in that area? Or is PSK support already in the stunnel roadmap? Cheers, -- Thomas Conté.

GnuTLS port
by Max 20 Sep '14

20 Sep '14

Pardon if that was asked before, but are there port of stunnel to GnuTLS available somewhere? With recent fallout from heartbleed I'm looking into getting rid of openssl (besides I've never liked the license anyway :) and stunnel is one of the very few programs which got dependency on it. cheers, Max.

400 - Bad Request
by j nasty 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

I'm trying to access a web service endpoint using sTunnel to handle all the SSL traffic. For my other connection setups this works perfectly fine. But for this one particular client I'm getting a 400 - Bad Request Error. Client Configuration looks like this: [Connection1] client = yes accept = 127.0.0.1:9006 connect = server.com:443 Response I get back is: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>400 Bad Request</title> </head><body> <h1>Bad Request</h1> <p>Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.<br /> Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port.<br /> Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.<br /> <blockquote>Hint: <a href="https://server.com/"><b>https://server.com/</b></a></blockquote></p> </body></html> Is there a setting configuration I can use so that sTunnel redirects to https://server.com instead of server.com:443? Thanks in advance, Jake

Stunnel Windows Server 2008 R2
by 541401＠gmail.com 29 Aug '14

29 Aug '14

I have installed stunnel 5.03 on Windows Server 2008 R2 X64. When I run it as an application it works perfectly. When I install and run the service, it starts but the start notice window, title bar, says Stunnel 5.03 win32 (not configured). It appears that the stunnel service is not reading the stunnel.conf. If anyone has any suggestions how I can successfully run stunnel as a service, I would be very appreciative. Thank you!
