Stunnel with ntsyslog on windows 2000 forwarding to syslog-ng on fedora core 4 with stunnel in the middle.
by Anthony Cicalla 03 Feb '06

Website questions answered first 1) ntsyslog(on windows 2000 pro) is not connecting through stunnel to (fedora core 4) syslog-ng daemon. 2) latest version of stunnel just downloaded it. 3)stunnel syslog-ng -f /etc/syslog-ng.conf 4)ran the command but got no output. (stunnel /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf -f -D -7) 5)ran the command and it exectuted as above but still got no optput ran (stunnel /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf -V) 6)Linux echelon.bankserv.com 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 #1 Thu Jun 2 22:55:56 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux 7)sry I'm a noob and don't know how to get this. I am from the windows side of the house. If you need it send me the command and I will get you the output. 8)Using built-in specs. Target: i386-redhat-linux Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-checking=release --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-libgcj-multifile --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,java,f95,ada --enable-java-awt=gtk --with-java-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-1.4.2.0/jre --host=i386-redhat-linux Thread model: posix gcc version 4.0.0 20050519 (Red Hat 4.0.0-8) 9)This is the latest version for fedora core 4. I downloaded the packages for openssl and ran the updater. I am setting up centralized logging with stunnel, syslog-ng, ntsyslog. Following the directions from these two links. <http://www.stunnel.org/examples/syslog-ng.html> <http://www.monitorware.com/Common/en/Articles/eventlog-stunnel-syslog.php> Encrypting traffic to a remote syslog-ng server including SSL peer authentication 1. Install stunnel and syslog-ng on all machines. 2. Create certificates for all machines. On RedHat 9 and similar machines, you can do the following as root: # cd /etc/pki/tls/certs # make syslog-ng-server.pem # make syslog-ng-client.pem 3. Place copies of syslog-ng-server.pem on all machines in /etc/stunnel with one important alteration. The clients only need the certificate section of syslog-ng-server.pem. In other words, remove the private key section from syslog-ng-server.pem on all clients. Place every client's syslog-ng-client.pem in /etc/stunnel. For server, create a special syslog-ng-client.pem containing the certificate sections for all clients and place in /etc/stunnel. In other words, remove the private key sections from all syslog-ng-client.pem files and concatenate what is left to create server's special syslog-ng-client.pem. 4. Give only root ownership, read and write permissions for certificates. 5. On server, create /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf containing the following replacing server IP address accordingly: cert = /etc/stunnel/syslog-ng-server.pem CAfile = /etc/stunnel/syslog-ng-client.pem verify = 3 [5140] accept = 192.x.x.x:5140 connect = 127.0.0.1:514 On clients, create /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf containing the following replacing server IP address accordingly: client = yes cert = /etc/stunnel/syslog-ng-client.pem CAfile = /etc/stunnel/syslog-ng-server.pem verify = 3 [5140] accept = 127.0.0.1:514 connect = 192.x.x.x:5140 6. On server, create the following in /etc/syslog-ng.conf: options { long_hostnames(off); sync(0); keep_hostname(yes); chain_hostnames(no); }; source src {unix-stream("/dev/log"); pipe("/proc/kmsg"); internal();}; source stunnel {tcp(ip("127.0.0.1") port(514) max-connections(1));}; destination remoteclient {file("/var/log/remoteclient");}; destination dest {file("/var/log/messages");}; log {source(src); destination(dest);}; log {source(stunnel); destination(remoteclient);}; On clients, create the following in /etc/syslog-ng.conf: options {long_hostnames(off); sync(0);}; source src {unix-stream("/dev/log"); pipe("/proc/kmsg"); internal();}; destination dest {file("/var/log/messages");}; destination stunnel {tcp("127.0.0.1" port(514));}; log {source(src);destination(dest);}; log {source(src);destination(stunnel);}; (See syslog-ng documentation for more sophisticated syslog-ng.conf alternatives.) 7. Open necessary ports with regards to packet filtering and TCP wrappers. 8. On all machines, add the following lines to boot procedure and execute them now: # stunnel # syslog-ng -f /etc/syslog-ng.conf That was the unix side stunnel config. Copy the files to a location of your choice. If in doubt what you need, download the latest stunnel binary as well as the ZIP file with the openssl libararies. Place everything in the same directory, e.g. c:\bin\stunnel. Please note that the stunnel binary (eg. stunnel-4.04.exe) is the actual stunnel program and NOT a self-extracting exe program. Once you have done this, you only need to supply stunnel with a correct configuration file. You can use the one from the stunnel UNIX/Linux tutorial, step 5. Make sure that you not only copy over the config file but also the needed .PEM files. You probably need to change the pathes in the stunnel.conf file to reflect your local Windows directory structure. Once you have the config file ready, you can start the Windows stunnel. Please note that it by default starts interactively. If all goes well, there is a small icon in the icon tray. Double-Click it to get a status window. If something goes wrong, the status window automatically appears with a nice error message. AT THIS POINT I AM ABLE TO START STUNNEL WITH NO ERRORS SHOW UP BUT 0 ACTIVE TUNNELS. Let's assume all went well. What is left is that we must tell the event log monitor where to forward events to. Installation: Install the service by executing the following command: NTsyslog -install The service will be started automatically by the service control manager during system startup. You can start and stop the service manually from the Services Control Panel. By default the service runs under the LocalSystem account. The service can be configured to run as a local user with the following rights: * Log on as a service * Manage auditing and security log The user the service runs as can be configured in the NTsyslog Properties page which can be accessed through the Services Control Panel. A GUI tool, NTSyslogCtrl is provided to configure what types of messages are monitored and what priority to use for each type. The priority for each event log type controls the service and facility that the syslog message is sent to. Each log type has a seperate priority. If the priority for a particular key does not exist, as if you were upgrading, or using an old NTSyslogCtrl app, the default is 9, user.alert. Usually, syslog refers to a "facility" and "severity". These are combined in to a single value called "priority". To calculate the priorities from normal facility and severity codes: Take the numeric value for the facility, multiply by 8, and add the numeric value for the severity. Standard facility and severity values are: Facility: (0) kernel (12) ntp (1) user (13) log audit (2) mail (14) log alert (3) system (15) clock 2 (4) security/auth 1 (16) local 0 (5) syslog (17) local 1 (6) line printer (18) local 2 (7) news (19) local 3 (8) uucp (20) local 4 (9) clock 1 (21) local 5 (10) security/auth 2 (22) local 6 (11) ftp (23) local 7 Severity: (0) emergency (4) warning (1) alert (5) notice (2) critical (6) information (3) error (7) debug Note that facility 4, 9, 10, and 15 have different meaning on various systems. Please consult your system manual pages or syslogd documentation. Complete details are available in RFC 3164. See: <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3164.txt> The NTSyslog service must be stopped and restarted for the Registry settings to take effect. By default all messages are sent using the user.alert priority. Registry Settings: The NTSyslogCtrl program is the preferred method of configuring the registry. Editing the registry manually is not required when using the configuration tool. The syslog host is configured by creating the following Registry entry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SaberNet] "Syslog"="192.X.X.X" An additional syslog host may be configured for redundancy: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SaberNet] "Syslog1"="" The syslog host can be specified by domain name (loghost.example.com) or by IP address (10.123.112.1). The types of event log messages sent to the syslog host can be configured by setting the dword value for each of the types of messages. All types with a non-zero value will be processed. The included registry file enables all event types for each event log: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SaberNet\Syslog\System] "Information"=dword:00000001 "Information Priority"=dword:00000009 "Warning"=dword:00000001 "Warning Priority"=dword:00000009 "Error"=dword:00000001 "Error Priority"=dword:00000009 "Audit Success"=dword:00000001 "Audit Success Priority"=dword:00000009 "Audit Failure"=dword:00000001 "Audit Failure Priority"=dword:00000009 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SaberNet\Syslog\Security] "Information"=dword:00000001 "Information Priority"=dword:00000009 "Warning"=dword:00000001 "Warning Priority"=dword:00000009 "Error"=dword:00000001 "Error Priority"=dword:00000009 "Audit Success"=dword:00000001 "Audit Success Priority"=dword:00000009 "Audit Failure"=dword:00000001 "Audit Failure Priority"=dword:00000009 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SaberNet\Syslog\Application] "Information"=dword:00000001 "Information Priority"=dword:00000009 "Warning"=dword:00000001 "Warning Priority"=dword:00000009 "Error"=dword:00000001 "Error Priority"=dword:00000009 "Audit Success"=dword:00000001 "Audit Success Priority"=dword:00000009 "Audit Failure"=dword:00000001 "Audit Failure Priority"=dword:00000009 Version 1.11 and later supports user defined event logs. Simply add the appropriate sub-key and settings to the registry in the same format as the three standard event logs: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SaberNet\Syslog\Directory Service] "Information"=dword:00000001 "Information Priority"=dword:00000009 "Warning"=dword:00000001 "Warning Priority"=dword:00000009 "Error"=dword:00000001 "Error Priority"=dword:00000009 "Audit Success"=dword:00000001 "Audit Success Priority"=dword:00000009 "Audit Failure"=dword:00000001 "Audit Failure Priority"=dword:00000009 ok after all of this configuration and setup I get no syslogs in on the logging server. I did and ethereal capture and tested a few settings. If I point it directly to the syslog ip address it's still not connecting becuase it's trying to connect on port 514. The syslog server is running on port 5140 from the config. I can telnet to port 5140 with no problems. I can start the nt syslog service with the server's ip and see packets attempting to be sent this tells me that ntsyslog is working. When I go to examine stunnel I get 2006.02.02 10:18:06 LOG5[484:108]: stunnel 4.14 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu WIN32+SELECT+IPv4 with OpenSSL 0.9.7i 14 Oct 2005 2006.02.02 10:18:07 LOG5[484:652]: No limit detected for the number of clients 2006.02.02 11:38:18 LOG5[484:640]: 5140 connected from 127.0.0.1:1386 2006.02.02 11:38:27 LOG3[484:640]: SSL_accept: 140760FC: error:140760FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol And that is where I am stuck... any help would be greatly appreciated. I check this regularly so I will reply or attempt suggestions pretty quickly and reply the results. I am still pretty new with linux so if you want me to do something or to get you some information put the commands or step of how to do it in the post. It will not only help me but it will help others behind me that might not know as much as well. I followed the instructions above which has the commands. I created the pem files and the conf files just as above althought there is not /etc/syslog-ng.conf on the windows machine. I still made the files but they are put in c:\bin\stunnel becuase syslog-ng doesn't run on windows. they reccommended snare of something of the like to forward the logs so I chose ntsyslog. Ntsyslog is setup exactly like the instructions say. like I said above stunnel starts without an error when I start the ntsyslog the error appears in the stunnel log. Client Stunnel.conf cert = C:\bin\stunnel\syslog-ng-server.pem CAfile = c:\bin\stunnel\syslog-ng-client.pem verify = 3 [5140] accept = 127.0.0.1:514 connect = 192.168.x.x:5140 Client Server stunnel.conf cert = /etc/stunnel/syslog-ng-server.pem CAfile = /etc/stunnel/syslog-ng-client.pem verify = 3 [5140] accept = 192.168.x.x:5140 connect = 127.0.0.1:514 syslog-ng.conf options { long_hostnames(off); sync(0); keep_hostname(yes); chain_hostnames(no); }; source src {unix-stream("/dev/log"); pipe("/proc/kmsg"); internal();}; source stunnel {tcp(ip("127.0.0.1") port(514) max-connections(1));}; destination remoteclient {file("/var/log/remoteclient");}; destination dest {file("/var/log/messages");}; log {source(src); destination(dest);}; log {source(stunnel); destination(remoteclient);}; When you run the gui for ntsyslog it creates the registry entries so i did no have to create them. Client is on windows the server is the fedora core 4 box

tunpipe
by Michal Trojnara 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Dear Users, For the last two days I was working on a VPN solution for stunnel. The early alpha version is ready for download here: ftp://stunnel.mirt.net/tunpipe/ Advantages: - based on proven strength of SSL encryption (much better than IPSec or any proprietary encryption protocol), - very clean and lightweight design, - very easy to configure. Disadvantages: - only works on GNU/Linux (can be ported to some other Unixes), - use of TCP is the main performance limitation. Aternative solutions: http://www.math.ucla.edu/~jimc/documents/vpn.html Suggestions and comments are welcome. Best regards, Mike

Encrypted tunnel for HTTP traffic?
by Robert Nicholson 01 Feb '06

01 Feb '06

Can anybody tell me if it's possible for stunnel to act as a local web proxy that simply encrypts my outgoing HTTP traffic and decrypts it on the way back in? Specifically is it still possible to block urls at the hosting provider with this approach and is all my browsing then safe from prying eyes? What I want is along the lines of a VPN solution but it sounds like stunnel can at least take care of my HTTP needs.

Stunnel Question /Feature request
by Mathias . 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

Hi everybody. Is it possible at the Client side specify where the Stunnel server should connect to? I mean. If I'm using stunnel both on the clisnt side and the Server side is it possible from within the Stunnel.conf file specify a destination at serverside that overides the "connect=" tag specified in the stunnel.conf file at the server side. This would make it possible to have two services accessible at the same port. I.e IIS using https (accessible from any browser) and a nother SSL, non-web, based service (accessible from a Stunnel client). Anyone that ever have thought about creating such a patch? /M

stunnel 4.x.x and IRIX
by Eric Haddix 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

I happened upon a user here that posted a couple of months ago(I think) who used IRIX and had successfully compiled stunnel. Any chance you're still around!?!? I get one of two things. Before I apply the patch, it will crash right after startup. No logs, just dumps core. After the patch, it starts and exits immediately. I can run it with -version, etc. and it seems to work fine. Anyone had this and/or know what can be done? Eric

FQDN validation and checking within STunnel
by Nagasundaram, Sekhar 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

All: Is there a setting in Stunnel to do FQDN checking? Level 3 checking requires a local copy of the Peer's certificate. When doing mutual authentication, I run into scalability issues when the devices Run into the thousands using Level3 validation. However, if Stunel was capable of doing FQDN checks, That would help while not requiring me to do level 3 checks (although that is probably better). Thanks Sekhar

Hello to all, I have been using Stunnel to access News Groups at ATT.net to by-pass or tunnel through ATT's SSL for some time. I have run into trouble and I am getting a message "connection" failed. At first I thought that it was Stunnel and after deleting and re-installing Stunnel, I an getting the same RESULT. Was there an older version of Stunnel that worked and will the new, updated Stunnel not work or does it need to have some settings changed? Malcolm Mason MWM1(a)jhu.edu

Proxy Support and 4.15b2
by Ben Green 26 Jan '06

26 Jan '06

Greetings everyone, I have been working for a few days with Stunnel and have been trying to get it working with the proxy servers that filter all outbound traffic at work. I stumbled across 4.15b2 today and was able to get it all to work well to SSL enable telnet and fix through the connect protocol. I plan to use this in production if all goes well in dev, test, and qa over the next 2 months. I was not around on the list when the announcement went out for 4.15b2 on November 16th (found it in the archives). I'll get to my point, now. I am wondering how testing is going with 4.15b2. Is it going to be released as 4.15, soon? Has anyone put 4.15b2 in a production situation? Thanks. Ben Green

Re: [stunnel-users] exclusively TLS

I've been working through the same problem as John, but I tried using Jan's solution by setting the options and still haven't been able to get it to work. On server1 I am running openssl s_server with tls-only specified: openssl s_server -accept 8443 -cert XDS_REG_HXTI.cer -key hxti1.key -tls1 On the client side (server2), I have stunnel set up as a client listening on localhost port 8100, and forwarding over to server1, port 8443. Then to test I run 'telnet localhost 8100' and see the error message from s_server: ACCEPT ERROR 16656:error:1408A10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:wrong version number:s3_srvr.c:683: shutting down SSL CONNECTION CLOSED In my stunnel.log file I can see this error message: SSL_connect: 14094410: error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert handshake failure So to me it still seems to be sending out a client hello in sslv3, despite my efforts to the contrary.

Ah, that way. options = SSL_options OpenSSL library options The parameter is the OpenSSL option name as described in the SSL_CTX_set_options(3ssl) manual, but without SSL_OP_ prefix. Several options can be used to specify multiple options. For example for compatibility with erroneous Eudora SSL implementation the following option can be used: options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS Check the SSL_CTX_set_options manpage, it says -amongst other things-: SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2 Do not use the SSLv2 protocol. SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3 Do not use the SSLv3 protocol. SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1 Do not use the TLSv1 protocol. That ought to do the trick I'd say. Let us know if it did :) Jan -- http://www.surfnet.nl/organisatie/jame

https to http proxy is buggy with IE
by Glen 22 Jan '06

22 Jan '06

Hi Everyone, I am trying to use stunnel to do the ssl portion for the web server. Mainly because the certificate I have is easy to setup in stunnel (was originally created for an openssl based serer) and the web server supports it's own propriatery cert format which I would like to avoid having to convert to. I have it working fine with all browsers except for the buggy Internet Explorer. With internet explorer anything requiring a page redirect fails (from viewing the logs it appears the socket gets closed before the redirect is finished resulting in a blank page being sent to the browser. I have tried the TIMEOUTclose = 0 but that hasn't helped. Any suggestions? thanks, Glen

stunnel 4.14 errors and dropped connection
by stunnelusers＠tinfoil.cotse.net 21 Jan '06

Hello, If I leave my computer downloading via stunnel and come back to it later, I find the download has stopped halfway and in the stunnel log it says: SSL_read: Connection reset by peer (WSAECONNRESET) (10054) and then a number of lines like: Error resolving 'xxx.xxx.xxx': Neither nodename nor servname known (EAI_NONAME) where xxx.xxx.xxx is the url I was downloading from. I am using stunnel 4.14 on win xp. If I try to load a web page like google I get told it cannot be found. I have to switch off the router and switch it back on. When Windows finds the "new" connection it resets itself and everything works perfectly again, for a while, and then it happens all over again. This did not happen before I upgraded to 4.14. What is happening? Why is it happening? How do i stop it? Thanks.

RE: [stunnel-users] exclusively TLS
by Moehrke, John (GE Healthcare) 20 Jan '06

20 Jan '06

It is not the list of ciphers that I want to choose from. We are indeed using a select set of ciphers and that seems to be working fine. My problem is that when stunnel connects to the server it is trying sslv3, and this causes an error as the server is only supporting TLS. I could easily be wrong...

exclusively TLS
by Moehrke, John (GE Healthcare) 20 Jan '06

I need to talk to a server that is requiring pure TLS. It seems that STUNNEL always starts with SSL. How do I get STUNNEL to start the client side conversation with TLS?

Stunnel in a three tier setup
by Louis Young 19 Jan '06

19 Jan '06

Hi Guys I would like to set up stunnel in a three tier environment, i.e. instead of just having a client and a server, I have a client, midware and server. I tried doing this: On the client: [VNC on TestMachine] accept = 9000 connect = 192.168.100.12:9000 192.168.100.12 is the "mid-ware" machine: On this "mid-ware" machine: [VNC on TestMachine] accept = 9000 connect = 192.168.100.16:9000 192.168.100.16 is the destination: Then on the destination: [VNC] accept = 9000 connect = 192.168.100.16:5900 The only machine with client=yes is the client and they all use the same key. If I change the settings on the client to point directly to the destination (i.e. using only two machines), it works, but with three machines there seems to be a problem Any ideas?

verify server certification is missing
by Olivier twist 17 Jan '06

17 Jan '06

I think a functionnality is missing in stunnel. I compare the behaviour of stunnel and apache mod-ssl. If you have a certificate signed by third party, apache checks the root certificate like stunnel do this with -v 1 option but apache don't ask for a client certificate, stunnel do this :-( I think that stunnel should control server certificate chain defined in CA file even if option -v 1 is not set !!! Could you give your opinion? If I use stunnel and not apache it's because I have some protocols to handle with ssl and stunnel is a very easy to use solution. Thanks Oliver

Delay option
by Stefaan Van Dooren 16 Jan '06

16 Jan '06

Hi, I'm setting up stunnel and I'm facing a problem with dynamic IP-adresses. Searching google and the man pages I tought that the "delay = yes" option would solve my problem, but it doesn't seems to. If I had "delay = yes" to my config file, none of my services seems to work anymore. If I remove it, everything is working fine, until the the remote-IP changes, and I have to restart stunnel. What am I doing wrong ? Or isn't this the right option for this job ?

Some newbie question for stunnel
by Thomas Stein 13 Jan '06

13 Jan '06

Hello, After reading some doc pages about stunnel I have still some questions: 1.) I read that the client part of a pop3 connection (e.g. for GoogleMail) is like stunnel -c -d pop3 -r bar:pop3s However I did not found any explations of the flags -d, -d and -r When I type stunnel -help none of these flags are explained. 2.) Can I replace pop3 and pop3s in the command above by real port numbers? 3.) Is stunnel compatible with SSH servers ? In other words: can stunnel on the local machine communicate with a SSH server on the remote computer and vice versa? 4.) Is there a timeout function? Read: When I start stunnel I would like to exit the service after lets say 5 minutes automatically. Is there such a feature/option? 5.) Has someone experiences with googlemail pop3 retrieval of emails? Is the following stunnel command recommendable for googlemail.com? stunnel -c -d pop3 -r pop.googlemail.com:pop3 Thank you in advance for the answer Thomas -- ___________________________________________________ Play 100s of games for FREE! http://games.mail.com/

Sniffing the network --how to disable SSL?
by david-e.hansen＠ubs.com 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

Hi, I know this sort of defeats the whole purpose of stunnel, but I have an LDAP server which listens for non-SSL on one port, and SSL on another. We decided to use stunnel and the SSL port on our LDAP server for security purposes. However, now we need to see the communication between clients and the LDAP server, in order to debug a production problem. Sniffing won't be terribly useful unless we can turn off the SSL encryption of the communication. I can't just re-point the application to the non-SSL port because this is stored in a central database and would affect everyone (it's a 3rd pty app), so I just want to change the stunnel.conf file on my PC so that it does port-forwarding but no encryption. Is this possible to do? Regards, David E.

Connection reset by peer on same local network?
by Gabe Martin-Dempesy 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

I'm attempting to setup an encrypted rsync to pull backups off of a file server onto a safe backup machine. To do this I'm using a combination of stunnel and rsyncd (It needs to pull root-owned files, so -e ssh wouldn't work unless I want to have a backup script remotely logging in as root!!) For now the machines are both on the same local network, 10.10.10.0/24, but I'm have weird problems with stunnel getting a 'connection reset by peer' after a couple minutes of the rsync, halting the transfer prematurely. Here's what I see in the logs: Client: Dec 29 10:19:21 backup stunnel[2568]: 8001 connected from 127.0.0.1:39215 Dec 29 10:21:09 backup stunnel[2568]: SSL_write: Connection reset by peer (104) Dec 29 10:21:09 backup stunnel[2568]: Connection reset: 192532 bytes sent to SSL, 5920666 bytes sent to socket Server: Dec 29 10:20:00 proto stunnel[30434]: 973 connected from 10.10.10.20:54054 Dec 29 10:20:00 proto rsyncd[1776]: rsync on xserve from localhost (127.0.0.1) Dec 29 10:21:49 proto stunnel[30434]: SSL socket closed with 16384 byte(s) in buffer Dec 29 10:21:49 proto stunnel[30434]: Connection reset: 5953434 bytes sent to SSL, 98416 bytes sent to socket Dec 29 16:21:49 proto rsyncd[1776]: rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4096 bytes: phase "unknown": Connection reset by peer Dec 29 16:21:49 proto rsyncd[1776]: rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(666) Note that the client gets the 'connection reset by peer' a good 40 seconds before the server notices the disconnect. Here are the associated stunnel.conf's, which are pretty basic Client: cert = /etc/stunnel/backup.crt key = /etc/stunnel/backup.key setuid = stunnel setgid = stunnel pid = /var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 client = yes [8001] accept = 8001 connect = 10.10.10.15:973 Server: cert = /etc/stunnel/proto.crt key = /etc/stunnel/proto.key setuid = stunnel setgid = stunnel pid = /var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 [973] accept = 973 connect = 127.0.0.1:rsync Both are using: stunnel 4.09 on i686-pc-linux-gnu PTHREAD+POLL+IPv6+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004 Global options cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH debug = 5 key = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem pid = /var/lib/run/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes session = 300 seconds verify = none Service-level options TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds Both of these machines are Gentoo 2005.1, updated to current, using the hardened 2.6 profile.

RE: [stunnel-users] Connection reset by peer on same local networ k?
by Jeremy Simons 03 Jan '06

03 Jan '06

The problem is not with stunnel, but with rsyncd. I assume you are running rsyncd on the source machine in conjunction with the /etc/rsyncd.conf file. The cool thing about running rsyncd through stunnel is the rsync client appears to the rsyncd as a local machine (obviously) so permissions are a problem. The best way I could recommend since you need to access root owned files would be to setup your rsyncd entry something like: ## Example of full access to /home directory [home] uid = root gid = root path = /home comment = home directory. hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 read only = no ignore nonreadable = no refuse options = checksum dont compress = * If you notice the "hosts allow" directive only allows access from localhost(127.0.0.1). The problem is *anyone* can connect to your stunnel server unless you require security I would recommend using your firewall to allow access to your stunnel instance and also to use non-standard ports (I.E. 50000-50010). Using a firewall in lieu of authentication is obviously NOT secure or even recommended for a production environment but is simply added security that certainly doesn't hurt. The workaround would be to secure stunnel and leave rsyncd wide-open to localhost. As for the "connection reset" errors I was getting the same thing until I upgraded to the latest version of stunnel. I read a post on stunnel.mirt.net about it. Are you sure you're using the latest version of stunnel?

I'm attempting to setup an encrypted rsync to pull backups off of a file server onto a safe backup machine. To do this I'm using a combination of stunnel and rsyncd (It needs to pull root-owned files, so -e ssh wouldn't work unless I want to have a backup script remotely logging in as root!!) For now the machines are both on the same local network, 10.10.10.0/24, but I'm have weird problems with stunnel getting a 'connection reset by peer' after a couple minutes of the rsync, halting the transfer prematurely. Here's what I see in the logs: Client: Dec 29 10:19:21 backup stunnel[2568]: 8001 connected from 127.0.0.1:39215 Dec 29 10:21:09 backup stunnel[2568]: SSL_write: Connection reset by peer (104) Dec 29 10:21:09 backup stunnel[2568]: Connection reset: 192532 bytes sent to SSL, 5920666 bytes sent to socket Server: Dec 29 10:20:00 proto stunnel[30434]: 973 connected from 10.10.10.20:54054 Dec 29 10:20:00 proto rsyncd[1776]: rsync on xserve from localhost (127.0.0.1) Dec 29 10:21:49 proto stunnel[30434]: SSL socket closed with 16384 byte(s) in buffer Dec 29 10:21:49 proto stunnel[30434]: Connection reset: 5953434 bytes sent to SSL, 98416 bytes sent to socket Dec 29 16:21:49 proto rsyncd[1776]: rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4096 bytes: phase "unknown": Connection reset by peer Dec 29 16:21:49 proto rsyncd[1776]: rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(666) Note that the client gets the 'connection reset by peer' a good 40 seconds before the server notices the disconnect. Here are the associated stunnel.conf's, which are pretty basic Client: cert = /etc/stunnel/backup.crt key = /etc/stunnel/backup.key setuid = stunnel setgid = stunnel pid = /var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 client = yes [8001] accept = 8001 connect = 10.10.10.15:973 Server: cert = /etc/stunnel/proto.crt key = /etc/stunnel/proto.key setuid = stunnel setgid = stunnel pid = /var/run/stunnel/stunnel.pid socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 [973] accept = 973 connect = 127.0.0.1:rsync Both are using: stunnel 4.09 on i686-pc-linux-gnu PTHREAD+POLL+IPv6+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004 Global options cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH debug = 5 key = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem pid = /var/lib/run/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes session = 300 seconds verify = none Service-level options TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds Both of these machines are Gentoo 2005.1, updated to current, using the hardened 2.6 profile. Neither of them use non-standard make flags. Does anyone have some insight? There shouldn't be any "peer" (besides themselves) in the way between these two boxes to disconnect them. _______________________________________________ stunnel-users mailing list stunnel-users(a)mirt.net http://stunnel.mirt.net/mailman/listinfo/stunnel-users

stunnel library inconsistencies
by Brian T 29 Dec '05

29 Dec '05

Hi, I've been using stunnel 4.08 on an embedded Linux platform for a while now, and am attempting to move to the 2.6 kernel from the 2.4.20, which has changed my building platform. I am cross-compiling with libs and tools targeted for the embedded system, which is an i486 type AMD Elan chip. I have tried 4.08, 4.14 and 4.15b, all with the same result. Everything looks to compile properly, but when running stunnel I get the following: Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-minimal.c: 134: realloc: Assertion `ptr == alloc_last_block' failed! strace doesn't supply any helpful information. I have tried building with and without tcpwrappers, and have tried libssl 0.9.7g and 0.9.7i. Libssl v0.9.8a doesn't seem to play very nice. Anyone able to look at my config.log? It's 140k uncompressed, but will zip it up if needed. Thanks, -Brian

./configure issues

I'm running a fresh install of Solaris 10-sparc, and am having a helluvatime getting stunnel to configure. I come from a Gentoo background, where compiling apps is second nature, and I'm not used to this kind of problem! I originally installed gcc3.3.2 using the sunfreeware package, and as an afterthought went back again using pkg-get to make sure I had all the dependencies I needed. When I run ./configure, it errors out: # ./configure configure: **************************************** initialization checking for a BSD-compatible install... /opt/sfw/bin/ginstall -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking build system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.10 checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.10 checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed checking for style of include used by make...

stunnel connect success even if remote side do not exist
by Nadav, Erez 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

i have a question: I conbfigure the stunnel to work as tcp wrapper. I configure stunnel for accept on 2003 and connect to 10.1.1.1:2003 (not exist address). I see that any TCP connect to 2003 always succeed. I expect that the TCP connect will fail if the remote side connection failed. Is there a way to make it happen Nadav Erez R&D Verint Systems Inc Phone: +972+9-9624753 Cellular: +972-54-7784753 Email: Erez.Nadav(a)verint.com Web: www.verint.com <http://www.verint.com/> __________________________________________________________________________________________ This electronic message contains information from Verint Systems, which may be privileged and confidential.

(Other) client to stunnel server 4.14
by Jurgen Tessers 24 Dec '05

Hi all, I'm in a situation where Biztalk has to communicatie through Stunnel with a broker on a other site (both on Win XP). Now the only way to reach this broker is through a proxy, and that seems the problem with Stunnel, you can't configure a proxy. Is there another way, or another client that have the possibility to configure a proxy and can connect to a Stunnel server. With regards, Jurgen

Can not estabilish stunnel
by McDouglas 13 Dec '05

Hi, I have difficulties setting up a tunnel between two linux box I administrate. Right now its only in test phase, i would like to make an stunnel connection to the smpt server at 195.56.52.140. My final goal is to set up syslog through stunnel, thats why the port name/numbers. Config file for the server: cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem pid = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pid socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 debug = 7 output = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.log [ssyslog] accept = 195.56.52.140:2514 connect = 10.10.2.1:25 Config file for the client: cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem pid = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pid socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 debug = 7 output = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.log client = yes [ssyslog] accept = 2514 connect = 195.56.52.140:2514 I get the following messages in the logs after, executing a "telnet 127.0.0.1 2514" command at the client machine (of course, smtp works on the other side, and i set iptables to allow incomming connections on 2514 dport) Server: 2005.12.13 09:09:22 LOG5[11505:1]: stunnel 4.14 on i686-pc-linux-gnu UCONTEXT+POLL+IPv4 with OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004 2005.12.13 09:09:22

stunnel closing on first packet
by justin alexander 11 Dec '05

11 Dec '05

I have a client application on a windows machine, which tunnels through stunnel v4.14 to launch and inetd through stunnel v4.09 on a Linux box. The Linux side INETD successfully sends a packet of 25B to the client. The client (windows) receives this packet and returns a 12B packet. The packet IS received by the INETD but then stunnel immediately closes the socket. Why is it doing this? I'm including all configs and longs.

windows stunnel
by Noel Sanchez 09 Dec '05

09 Dec '05

Hello List. What I'd like to do is use stunnel on a Windows server behind the firewall then forward the data that comes in to the Windows server to another machine (another public ip behind the firewall) that's running an app that needs the original data. For example, I have a device out in the field that is using ssl to send data on port 4000 to my server in the office that has stunnel installed and listens on port 4000. Once the data is sent to the Windows server using stunnel, I'd like the Windows server to send the data to another computer that needs it but that doesn't have stunnel on it. The encryption will happen from the field device to the Windows server in the office, then that Windows server will have to forward the data to another computer that needs the data. I am at a lost on how to do this if at all possible. Any help would be great! Device using ssl out in the field sending data on port 4000---------firewall forwarding traffic from port 4000 to Windows server running stunnel behind firewall-----------Windows server receives stunnel data then forwards to another computer-------system that needs data---- Regards

Re: Windows config with both SSL listen and non-SSL listen

Paul, This is a temporary solution but it works. What you need to do is run two instances of Stunnel--one instance configured in client mode and the other in server mode. If you want to run both as services, you can install the standard one with the "-install" switch. For the second instance, you need to use some other binary to install it with a different name and change the imagepath to point to the executable. /han >_____ > >From: stunnel-users-bounces(a)mirt.net [mailto:stunnel-users-bounces@mirt.net] >On Behalf Of Paul Hethmon >Sent: Wednesday, December 07, 2005 2:50 PM >To: stunnel-users(a)mirt.net >Subject: [stunnel-users] Windows config with both SSL listen and >non-SSLlisten > > >I'm trying to set up using the Windows service the ability to listen in SSL >mode on one port (5102) and forward to non-SSL port (5010) and then also >listen on one port (5101) in non-SSL mode and forward to a remote port >(5102) in SSL mode.

Michal, Ok, the next obvious questions then: 1. When is 4.15 expected? 2. If not in the next 7 days, what can I do to help? I've done C/C++ and sockets for the last 10 years. I've looked at the code briefly so far, but have not set up a build environment yet. I need it in the next week so if there is any coding I can do which would help you, let me know your thoughts and where to put stuff. Also, just a public thanks for putting the package together. I started coding my own a couple of days ago and then thought there must have been someone else who just needed an SSL tunnel (and not a full blown SSH setup).

Server connecting back to client?
by Joshua Kugler 02 Dec '05

02 Dec '05

I've looked through the man pages, FAQ's, examples, and found one post (without a reply: http://stunnel.mirt.net/pipermail/stunnel-users/2005-May/000487.html) about this, but still don't have my question answered. I have a machine outside the firewall (let's call it outThere) that needs to connect back to a machine inside the firewall (let's call in inHere) for backup procedures. Now, because of the firewall, outThere cannot connect to inHere, but inHere can connect to anything on outThere that it wants. Can I initiate an stunnel connection from inHere to outThere, and then have stunnel on outThere listen on a localhost port, which, when connected to, would actually forward the connection (over SSL) back to a configured port on inHere? Is this at all doable? j----- k----- -- Joshua Kugler CDE System Administrator http://distance.uaf.edu/

Stunnel sending ICMP packet at startup
by Paul Jones 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Hi there, I have set up Stunnel on both the server and the client. There is a firewall on the server side that only allows TCP connections through. When Stunnel is started up on the client side, the firewall is actually receiving an ICMP packet, not a TCP. Is this how Stunnel should be working? I assume it's doing a ping or something at startup. Thanks in advance. Paul _________________________________________________________________ SEEK: Over 80,000 jobs across all industries at Australia's #1 job site. http://ninemsn.seek.com.au?hotmail

My stunnel client must start without user intervention. So I installed stunnel in client mode in a Windows XP Home computer as XP service. In XP Proffesional I can specify that only Administrators group has access to stunnel directory. XP Home does not have security tab in folder properties. Any person working in XP Home compter can copy stunnel private key How to protect private key from copying ? Andrus.

Call for Beta Testers: Tool similar to Stunnel.
by Wilfred Nilsen 22 Nov '05

22 Nov '05

We have designed a tool that is similar to Stunnel and we would like to know if anyone would be interested in testing the tool. A short introduction: The Barracuda HTTPS tunnel allows you to encrypt arbitrary TCP connections inside SSL. The HTTPS tunnel allows you to secure non-SSL aware services such as TELNET, FTP, VNC, etc., by having the HTTPS tunnel provide the encryption. The HTTPS tunnel can also be used, for example, to tunnel traffic out from behind a restrictive firewall/proxy that only allows outgoing HTTPS web connections. The client is a Java program that can either be downloaded and started from the command prompt or started using Java Web Start. The server is BarracudaDrive. http://barracudaserver.com/examples/BarracudaDrive/ We will make the beta program (the server and client) available if anyone is interested in testing the tool and give us feedback. We are specifically interested in beta testers that are behind a restrictive company proxy. Thanks, Wilfred

Re: [stunnel-users] Problem with Stunnel Working fine on the firstconnection and not on subsequent connections
by Kevin A. McGrail 19 Nov '05

19 Nov '05

> I'd try to disable chroot and run stunnel under strace with "foreground = yes" option. Mike, When running in foreground, with or without chroot, things work as expected. Without foreground, it did not work. Two key differences on the logs for each: Output of "Cleaning up the signal pipe" prior to checking the libwrap permissions a finish line of "ssmtp finished (0 left)" instead of "ssmtp finished (-1 left)" (Yes, this is a dual processor box.) It looks like the key problem lies in the regerenation of the standalone mode. Is there a way with v4 to just use inetd to answer on port 465, negotiate and connect on port 25 on another host because perhaps that will avoid the issue.

Problem with Stunnel Working fine on the first connection and not on subsequent connections

Have worked on this all day without any glimmer of hope and would appreciate help and feedback! Regards, KAM # Description of your problem. What programs are on which machines, and how are they attempting to communicate. What connections are you attempting to secure in SSL. I am having problems with the regeneration of stunnel on an old but fairly reliable machine. I am switching from v3 to v4 and it works absolutely perfectly ONCE. The second time it just hangs. # What version of Stunnel you're using - remember, Stunnel 4.x doesn't take Stunnel 3.x command line options! 4.x # The list of parameters you are using for stunnel, and if you are running it standalone or from inetd/xinetd.

Stunnel Session Hangs
by Zachariah K Zachariah 17 Nov '05

17 Nov '05

Hi folks, I use stunnel-4.12 with openssl-0.9.7g to tunnel my CVS-pserver protocols. I have set up the local stunnel client to listen to port 22400 and to forward any connections on it to the cvs server that has the server side stunnel listening on port 22401 forwarding connections to the cvs-pserver on port 2401. Having set up thus, I can do a cvs login just fine. I can watch the negotiation happening using tcpdump. However when I try to check out a module from the repository, I see some files coming through but only to eventually hang. If I <Ctrl C> and try again, more files come in but hangs before the transaction is complete. I have to do this several time in order to download all the files to my local workspace. Upon checking the logs, I find that the hang occurs immediately after the message: 2005.10.28 14:21:53 LOG7[15095:67]: SSL_read returned WANT_READ: retrying 2005.10.28 14:21:53 LOG7[15095:67]: SSL_write returned WANT_WRITE: retrying 2005.10.28 14:21:53 LOG7[15095:67]: SSL_read returned WANT_READ: retrying I have included a snippet of the log file for reference. I have also included my stunnel.conf file. Sorry for the voluminous output. Can some one help me here?

Visual studio compilation errors

Hi, After browsing all previous list messages I havent found information about an error I get compiling stunnel with visual studio. The errors appear in linking step with undefined symbol message: "undefined symbol: LNK2019 undefined symbol _exit_stunnel referenced in function _main_initialize". I also attach the Makefile.w32 changed to work with visual studio. Thanks in advance. Regards, Jorge.

more stunnel problems
by Louis Young 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

Hi guys Ok, as I've said in a previous mail, I'm now merely trying to get the linux client to work. In the config file: [ssmtp] accept = 465 connect = 25 But now: louislaptop:/usr/local/etc/stunnel # telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.

Trouble between linux client and windows server
by Louis Young 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

Hi guys I'm trying to use stunnel between a windows server and a linux client. On the windows server: [VNC] accept = 5901 connect = 5900 and on the linux client: ; VNC server on 192.168.100.57 accept = 5901 connect = 192.168.100.65:5901 But, alas: Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused Trying ::1... telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused It's almost as if stunnel isn't listening on that port on the linux client. Any ideas? -- Regards Louis Young Systems Administrator Kwikpay SA (Pty) Ltd

Solaris 9_x86 does not use __MAKECONTEXT_V2_SOURCE, see /usr/include/ucontext.h: *** Solaris 9: #if defined(__MAKECONTEXT_V2_SOURCE) && defined(__sparc) #ifdef __PRAGMA_REDEFINE_EXTNAME #pragma redefine_extname makecontext __makecontext_v2 #else #define makecontext __makecontext_v2 #endif #endif *** Solaris 10: #ifdef __sparc #ifdef __PRAGMA_REDEFINE_EXTNAME #pragma redefine_extname makecontext __makecontext_v2 #else #define makecontext __makecontext_v2 #endif In libc.so.1, __makecontext_v2 is the "new" function and makecontext the "old" one (binary compatible to Solaris 8 and earlier). For Solaris x86, there is only one function makecontext in all versions. Thus the behavior might not have been changed. A small test program in Solaris 9_x86 (have no earlier versions) indicated the "new" behavior.

IPTables/Stunnel Help needed

08 Nov '05

Ok, I have a fairly complex firewall setup on my Linux box with 7 host IPs, 2 Internet connections, and a DMZ. I need to direct 1 IP to stunnel on the firewall to be forwarded to the mail server in the DMZ on ports 8383, 993, 995 etc.. but leave ports 25, and 3389 forwarded via iptables, can anyone lend a hand?

I've tested this case. Yes, of course.

Yes, but up to Solaris 8 it claimed: The integer value of argc must be one-greater-than the number of arguments that follow argc; otherwise, the behavior is undefined. For 5 arguments, the value of argc must be 6. AfaIk this would also hold for Solaris 9 without __MAKECONTEXT_V2_SOURCE, but this is deprecated. Btw, Solaris 9 and 10 can still handle binaries compiled under earlier versions.

Re: stunnel 4.14 and openssl 0.9.8a
by MeeAGhost 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

I am using stunnel to tunnel my VNC connection. As recent as version 4.12 I have been able to use the libeay32.dll and libssl32.dll files I created with openssl 0.9.X.X using Msys and Mingw with the steps below: 1. I comment out line 910 in the openssl Configure script 2. Create .def for dll's: perl util/mkdef.pl 32 libeay > ms/libeay32.def perl util/mkdef.pl 32 ssleay > ms/ssleay32.def 3. Execute the openssl configure script ./Configure mingw 4. Execute the make for openssl make 5. After the make completes I create the dlls dllwrap --dllname libeay32.dll --output-lib libeay32.a --def ms/libeay32.def libcrypto.a -lwsock32 -lgdi32 dllwrap --dllname libssl32.dll --output-lib libssl32.a --def ms/ssleay32.def libssl.a libeay32.a When I place the resulting dlls on the remote machine with version 4.14installed and establish a VNC connection to machine stunnel crashes and generates a Dr. Watson error. If I revert back to version 4.12 the dlls I created using the steps above --- everything works. If I install the 0.9.7idlls (which come as a part of the 4.14 Win Install package) everything works. I am trying to keep server and clients on the same version of openssl which is why I have been compling new dlls whenever I have upgraded the servers. Is there something unique being done in version 4.14 that prevents dlls created with 0.9.8a from being used? -- Chris

Solaris: new_context, makecontext
by Hans Werner Strube 08 Nov '05

08 Nov '05

Concerns all versions of sthreads.c using ucontext: As far as I know from the Solaris documentation and some experiments, the context treatment in new_context() is not universally correct. #if defined(__sgi) || (defined(__sparc) && !defined(HAVE___MAKECONTEXT_V2)) ctx->ctx.uc_stack.ss_sp=ctx->stack+STACK_SIZE-8; #else /* not an IRIX or old and buggy Solaris on Sparc */ ctx->ctx.uc_stack.ss_sp=ctx->stack; #endif The first case is wrong for Solaris 10, since HAVE___MAKECONTEXT_V2 is not defined there but the behavior is _always_ as with HAVE___MAKECONTEXT_V2 in Solaris 9 SPARC. (Solaris 9 SPARC behaves like Solaris 7 and 8 SPARC ["old and buggy"] if HAVE___MAKECONTEXT_V2 is not set, and like Solaris 10 if it is set.) In the "old and buggy" case, the third argument of makecontext() should be 2 instead of 1 (although the latter _may_ work). I do not know how this is in Solaris x86. At least, HAVE___MAKECONTEXT_V2 has no meaning there.

4.14b1+0.9.7i client loop in s_poll_wait/scan_waiting_queue
by Richard.Hall 30 Oct '05

30 Oct '05

Obviously stunnel problems are like London buses - you wait years for one, then two come along inside a week ;-) Having fixed my server-side problems by installing 4.14b1, I now have a problem on the client side. Apologies for the voluminous diagnostics below, but hopefully they will help make the problem clear. I am running Apache + mod_jk, stunneling to a remote JBoss server. The client is stunnel 4.14 on i686-pc-linux-gnu UCONTEXT+POLL+IPv4 with OpenSSL 0.9.7i 14 Oct 2005 When things are running normally, everything is sweetness and light. However, if I 'kill -HUP' the Apache server (eg to do a log rotation), the mod_jk connection to stunnel gets closed, and stunnel goes into a loop.

Boot Password
by Bob 30 Oct '05

30 Oct '05

I need to use signed certificates with stunnel. New to the whole certificate thing. I have the certificate and key and built the .PEM file but when I try to start stunnel in the background it asks me to enter the PEM password. How can I enter the password and have stunnel start during boot? _______________________________________________________________________ Thanks, Bob (bobif(a)yahoo.com) YahooIM: bobif AOLIM: bobifmd ICQ: 111083556

4.13+0.9.7i server stops writing SSL output
by Richard.Hall 25 Oct '05

25 Oct '05

First-time post (though long-time satisfied occasional user). Searched the archives but if there is anything relevant, I've obviously missed it. I really cannot decide if this is an stunnel problem or an OpenSSL problem. Client is remote and running stunnel 4.12 on i686-pc-linux-gnu UCONTEXT+POLL+IPv4 with OpenSSL 0.9.6i Server is local, I've been through 4.12 + 0.9.6m 4.13 + 0.9.6m and now trying stunnel 4.13 on sparc-sun-solaris2.8 UCONTEXT+POLL+IPv4 with OpenSSL 0.9.7i (I've resisted the urge to try OpenSSL 0.9.8* as people seem to be experiencing 'issues') Small amounts of data are fine. But for larger amounts the connection goes to sleep. The way I read it, the server end stops trying to write to the SSL side. The relevant parts of # truss -w2 -v poll -dl /usr/local/stunnel-4.13/sbin/stunnel look like this: (apologies for doing it like this, but it seemed the easiest way to combine the debug output and truss output) (fd=7 is the SSL side, fd=8 the local side, TIMEOUTidle is set to 35 seconds for demo purposes) /1: 15.5722 read(8, " A B\0\n03\007\t\t\r\n\t".., 8178) = 8178 /1: poll(0x00049DD8, 3, 35000) (sleeping...) /1: fd=3 ev=POLLIN rev=0 /1: fd=6 ev=POLLIN rev=0 /1: fd=7 ev=POLLIN|POLLOUT rev=POLLIN /1: 17.3166 poll(0x00049DD8, 3, 35000) = 1 /1: fd=3 ev=POLLIN rev=0 /1: fd=6 ev=POLLIN rev=0 /1: fd=7 ev=POLLIN|POLLOUT rev=POLLOUT /1: 17.3229 write(7, "1703\0\0188CBEC9 : O\t u".., 16442) = 16442 /1: 17.3234 poll(0x00049DD8, 4, 35000) = 1 /1: fd=3 ev=POLLIN rev=0 /1: fd=6 ev=POLLIN rev=0 /1: fd=8 ev=POLLIN rev=POLLIN /1: fd=7 ev=POLLIN rev=0 So far, so good. /1: 17.3238 read(8, "\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\r\n\t\t".., 16384) = 16384 /1: 17.3240 poll(0x00049DD8, 3, 35000) = 1 /1: fd=3 ev=POLLIN rev=0 /1: fd=6 ev=POLLIN rev=0 /1: fd=7 ev=POLLIN|POLLOUT rev=POLLOUT /1: 17.3299 write(7, "1703\0\018ED 1AD91A888 i".., 16442) = 14480 For whatever reason, the write() was only partial. I'm guessing n/w issues, as the client is a loooong way away ;-) /1: 17.3303 write(7, " fE3DDA8FE ! i8DD8\fEBEC".., 1962) Err#11 EAGAIN /1: 17.3308 write(2, 0x00071D60, 74) = 74 /1: 2 0 0 5 . 1 0 . 2 4 1 4 : 5 0 : 3 0 L O G 7 [ 2 0 6 4 7 : 2 /1: ] : S S L _ w r i t e r e t u r n e d W A N T _ W R I T E /1: : r e t r y i n g /1: 17.3312 write(2, "\n", 1) = 1 /1: 17.3315 read(7, 0x000778D8, 5) Err#11 EAGAIN /1: 17.3318 write(2, 0x00071D60, 72) = 72 /1: 2 0 0 5 . 1 0 . 2 4 1 4 : 5 0 : 3 0 L O G 7 [ 2 0 6 4 7 : 2 /1: ] : S S L _ r e a d r e t u r n e d W A N T _ R E A D : /1: r e t r y i n g /1: 17.3321 write(2, "\n", 1) = 1 So we've now done an SSL_write, which yielded SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE, _and_ an SSL_read, which yielded SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ, (and which I think removes the SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE condition, as we can only have one or the other.) This means that, the next time round the loop (in client.c:transfer()), want_rd is TRUE, want_wr is FALSE, so we don't poll the SSL connection for output, only input: /1: poll(0x00049DD8, 3, 35000) (sleeping...) /1: fd=3 ev=POLLIN rev=0 /1: fd=6 ev=POLLIN rev=0 /1: fd=7 ev=POLLIN rev=POLLOUT But there won't be any input (trust me on that!), so we time out ... /1: 52.3387 poll(0x00049DD8, 3, 35000) = 0 /1: fd=3 ev=POLLIN rev=0 /1: fd=6 ev=POLLIN rev=0 /1: fd=7 ev=POLLIN rev=0 /1: 52.3394 write(2, 0x00071D60, 72) = 72 /1: 2 0 0 5 . 1 0 . 2 4 1 4 : 5 1 : 0 5 L O G 6 [ 2 0 6 4 7 : 2 /1: ] : s _ p o l l _ w a i t t i m e o u t : c o n n e c t i /1: o n r e s e t /1: 52.3399 write(2, "\n", 1) = 1 /1: 52.3403 write(2, 0x00071DD0, 102) = 102 /1: 2 0 0 5 . 1 0 . 2 4 1 4 : 5 1 : 0 5 L O G 5 [ 2 0 6 4 7 : 2 /1: ] : C o n n e c t i o n r e s e t : 5 7 6 1 7 b y t e s /1: s e n t t o S S L , 1 3 1 b y t e s s e n t t o /1: s o c k e t Now I have never before needed (nor wanted!) to delve into the inner workings of either stunnel or OpenSSL, so I may be in completely the wrong ballpark here. But I cannot understand the logic of the following bit of code in transfer() :- if((c->sock_ptr && !want_rd) || /* socket input buffer not empty */ ssl_closing==CL_INIT /* need to send close_notify */ || ((c->ssl_ptr<BUFFSIZE || ssl_closing==CL_RETRY) && want_wr)) /* want to SSL_read or SSL_shutdown but write to the * underlying socket needed for the SSL protocol */ s_poll_add(&c->fds, c->ssl_wfd->fd, 0, 1); In particular, if I change the first line to if(c->sock_ptr || /* socket input buffer not empty */ then everything starts working (correctly as far as I can see). The OpenSSL man pages seem (to me) to say that it is perfectly permissible to call SSL_write when we have SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ. Help? TIA, Richard Hall

how to sign each pem file with the local CA
by Jonathan Carpenter 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

I am trying to setup stunnel to encrypt syslog-ng logs, but all the tutorials that I have found tell me to sign each pem file with the local CA I have tried to find out how in the stunnel archives but have had no luck. Can anyone help me? Thanks

Stunnel Configure Warning

I was upgrading my Stunnel 4.11 to 4.13 when I saw this in the config check and decided to post it to see if I should continue installing... the config told me (obvoiously) to post this message... heh: > checking ucontext.h usability... no > checking ucontext.h presence... yes > configure: WARNING: ucontext.h: present but cannot be compiled > configure: WARNING: ucontext.h: check for missing prerequisite headers? > configure: WARNING: ucontext.h: see the Autoconf documentation > configure: WARNING: ucontext.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled" > configure: WARNING: ucontext.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result > configure: WARNING: ucontext.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence > configure: WARNING: ## ---------------------------------- ## > configure: WARNING: ## Report this to the stunnel lists. ## > configure: WARNING: ## ---------------------------------- ## > checking for ucontext.h... yes > checking pthread.h usability... yes > checking pthread.h presence... yes > checking for pthread.h... yes What can be done? ~ Greg

stunnel 4.13 released
by Michal Trojnara 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

Version 4.13, 2005.10.21, urgency: MEDIUM: * DLLs for OpenSSL 0.9.7i included because protection faults were reported in 0.9.8 and 0.9.8a. * New features - Libwrap code is executed as a separate process (no more delays due to a global and potentially long critical section). * Bugfixes - Problem with zombies in UCONTEXT threading fixed. - Workaround for non-standard makecontext() uc_stack.ss_sp parameter semantics on SGI IRIX. - Protection fault in signals handling on IRIX fixed. - Problem finding pthread library on AIX fixed. - size_t printf() fixed in stack_info() (the previous fix didn't work). - socklen_t is used instead of int where required. Homepage: http://stunnel.mirt.net/ sha1sum for stunnel-4.13.tar.gz: 4cb8e162e6cd4b4a966d601d1c890df2c2ee198f Best regards, Mike

smtp and tls
by Andy Cravens 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

Does stunnel support using TLS with SMTP? My SMTP server requires TLS but my client does not support it. Unfortunately, my SMTP server does not support SMTP over SSL so my only choice is to use TLS. I've seen some old threads concerning a patch to stunnel 3.x to do TLS but I read it was not a good solution. Does anybody have any information or opinions on this?

ECC-enabled version of Stunnel
by Dennis Laupichler 19 Oct '05

19 Oct '05

Hello, I want to use a ECC-certificate for stunnel.pem, but it doesn't work. Can anybody help me, what I have to do, to use Elliptique Curve cryptography certificates in Stunnel? Is it still possible or not? The ECC-Ciphers "ECDH-ECDSA-AES256-SHA" from openssl 0.9.8 works, but when I loaded the certificate into stunnel, there was follow messages in the log-file: stunnel.log in Server ################## error stack: 140B3009 : error:140B3009:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_use_RSAPrivateKey_file:PEM lib SSL_CTX_use_RSAPrivateKey_file: 607907F: error:0607907F:digital envelope routines:EVP_PKEY_get1_RSA:expecting an rsa key Server is down ################## Thanks, Dennis

stunnel silently dies
by Uffe Vedenbrant 18 Oct '05

18 Oct '05

Hi! After using stunnel on several freebsd boxes i decided to try it out on my mailserver.. Unfortunately it silently died after first connection.. ( and with exitcode=0 ) debug = 7 Nothing more in the log than startup + a line about a incomming connection on port 9143.. ( where i put my incomming imap ) Nothing in any log on the box.. Ok.. It might be my openssl freebsd version or stunnel version so i started to upgrade everything.. Freebsd 4.4 -> 4.11 stunnel 4.05 -> 4.11 etc.. Well did it work.. Nop..;-) Finally i found out after tryin ktrace that the problem was that the tcpwrapper code killed me.. That's ok but there where no logging at all that the tcpwrapper silently decided that i was comming from a blocked host.. It's up now without tcpwrapper enabled and works perfect..;-) Is there any possibility to have stunnel to say something about tcpwrapper problems..;-) And not just die..;-) Regards /Uffe

client and server together?
by Sholund, Mark D, GVSOL 18 Oct '05

18 Oct '05

I have a situation in which I have a client system, a middle-tier application server, and a backend database. The middle-tier takes info from the client and sends requests to the database, in other words the middle-tier has to act as both a client and a server in different parts of a transaction. Is it necessary that I run two instances of stunnel, one with an stunnel-client.conf wherein client=yes and another instance with stunnel-server.conf wherein client=no or is it possible to configure a single stunnel to do this? I would guess it would be kind of like having "client=yes|no" at the service level; this is not an option as far as I can see from the man page for 4.12 but I figured I could at least ask.

Windows XP, 2000 Crash on VNC over stunnel
by prez2＠o2.pl 15 Oct '05

Hello I've got problem with vnc over stunnel, stunnel on client computer crashes all the time. I did all configuration according to information at http://www.securityfocus.com/infocus/1677. Stunnel v 4.12, VNC version 4.1.1, all firewalls off, all computers in the same LAN. Tried on Windows XP SP2 and Windows 2000, on both of them there was a crash. All necessery (at least I think so) information are here: http://users.vlo.ids.gda.pl/~piotr/client.txt http://users.vlo.ids.gda.pl/~piotr/server.txt http://users.vlo.ids.gda.pl/~piotr/windows.txt Thank you in advance

Should I generate certifcates again? Meantime, I did configure it on my Ubuntu 10 X box, and manage to connect with server, so I guess server configuration is ok. Thanks for help. Best regards.

IMAP TLS support in stunnel 4?
by George Hartzell 12 Oct '05

12 Oct '05

Hi All, I'd like to put stunnel in front of dbmail-imap and dbmail-pop, since they don't offer any encryption. I understand I can just do straight ssl connections, but would like [prefer] to support TLS. I've found patches to the stunnel 3 series that implement TLS for IMAP, but haven't found any for version 4. Has someone implemented it for 4? Is there a technical or political reason/problem, or just not enough round-tuits? Thanks, g.

404 File Not Found when accessing webservice using STunnel (works fine without STunnel)
by Sundell Staffan 10 Oct '05

10 Oct '05

"stunnel 4.08 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu WIN32+IPv6 with OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004" Hi, this is my first try with both SSL & STunnel, so please excuse me for any missunderstandings a.s.o. I have problems running a STunnel in client-mode agains a SSL webservice. Our application does not support clientside-certificates, so i want to use STunnel to handle the SSL connection. For now, our webservice-provider has disabled the need for client-certificates (to help us narrow our problem down) But it still dont work. As a first step, i access whe webservice default-page through IE-Explorer. https://<ip>:3001/<path> and i am presented with the default-webpage. As i second step, i start stunnel with following .conf verify = 2 CApath = <path where i have saved all certificates as .pem:s with <hash>.0 filenames, from the direct-access example with explorer above> debug = 7 client = yes [https] accept = 127.0.0.1:3000 connect = <ip>:3001 TIMEOUTclose = 0 and try to access http://127.0.0.1:3000/<path> but i get: HTTP 404 File Not found. I have tried the same approach against a microsoft webservice at: https://test.uddi.microsoft.com/extension.asmx Without any problems. 1. I see no errors in the log, as i understand it (se below) can any one else with a more skilled eye see any problem ? 2. Our webservice-provider has an invalid hostname in its certificate (no public hostname, just IP during testing, but server certificate state www.fora.se) might that cause a problem ? (i have tried localy with invalid hostname in certificate without any problem though) 3. Is it possible to enable/disable verification of hostname in STunnel ? (as i understand it, the "verify" option in the STunnel.conf concerns the whole certificate-validation-process, and not just the hostname validation ?) 4. Could the problem be a config-issue on the webservice-provider end ? Im not sure, as it works with IE-Explorer, but not through STunnel ? 5. Any clue on where to look would be greatly apriciated, i have been working with this for a week, and i have been able to use STunnel both as server & client, with & without client-certs against everything i have tested localy and public (tried between diffrent home-made applications, on a local webserver, against verisign website a.s.o.) and everything works fine, except where i need it to work (against our webservice-provider).

UID/GID/Permissions Issue
by David T. Ashley 08 Oct '05

08 Oct '05

I've installed STUNNEL, works great, etc. etc. etc. Just one thing is a mystery .... The daemon definitely runs with UID "stunnel" (as I set it up), but still somehow it is able to grab its own keys and cert, as well as the client cert, which I set with root-only access. How is that possible? Does it buffer these things during startup (as root) before it sets UID/GID to stunnel, or am I missing something? Thanks. ----------------------------------- David T.

stunnel-4.12 Solaris 9 libwrap compile problem
by John Christian 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Hi gurus... I'm setting up a centralized log server for all of my Solaris 9 hosts. Kim's article at http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/syslog_ng.html is providing much of the guidence. I plan to use syslog-ng, but would like to have stunnel in place first. http://www.sunfreeware.com does not have a pre-rolled stunnel for Solaris 9. I'm receiving the error below when trying to compile stunnel-4.12 on Solaris 9. Can you offer any tips on overcoming the stunnelcompile error below? ERROR: [snip] gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wpointer-arith -I/usr/local/ssl/include -o stunnel client.o log.o options.o protocol.o network.o resolver.o ssl.o sthreads.o stunnel.o pty.o -lz -lsocket -lnsl -L/usr/local/ssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto -lwrap Undefined first referenced symbol in file allow_severity /usr/sfw/lib/libwrap.so deny_severity /usr/sfw/lib/libwrap.so ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors.

Help With Verify = 3
by David T. Ashley 07 Oct '05

07 Oct '05

Hi, I installed Stunnel 4.12 on a Linux box, and am attempting to use it to secure SMTP e-mail injection from Windows machines. I have everything working, and I have a Windows Stunnel client which will inject mail into a Linux Stunnel server over TCP Port 465. However, I've been unable to find the right combination of verification settings to cause the server to refuse connections from clients without the right certificates. Right now, I'm able to inject mail if the client has ANY certificate. Is there any tutorial on how to generate the keys, .PEM files, and the Stunnel settings to have the behavior where only MY clients can inject mail? Thanks and best regards, Dave Ashley.

Hello, I have noticed that by sending -HUP signal to stunnel causes daemon to exit. The problem is when stunnel is logging to a file and the file was recreated (i.e. by logrotate). I have blindly configured logrotate to send -HUP to the stunnel after the logs are rotated and awaited 'common-habbit' functionality: re-read configuration and refresh file handles. But I was supprised: xxxx@yyyyy:/var/log# more stunnel.log.1 2005.09.27 14:07:51 LOG5[23244:3084273344]: stunnel 4.07 on xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2005.09.27 14:07:51 LOG5[23244:3084273344]: 500 clients allowed 2005.10.02 04:40:03 LOG3[23245:3084273344]: Received signal 1; terminating Apparently messages are going to the 'old' filehandle and stunnel exits. Is there any workaround to this except: 1) hard restarting stunnel 2) putting stunnel in inetd Thank you, Bohdan

Stunnel 4.12 won't work with Openssl 0.98
by Luca G. 05 Oct '05

05 Oct '05

Hi I upgraded yesterday from stunnel 4.11 to 4.12, and i had a few problems... Basically I have been unable to use latest libeay32.dll and libssl32.dll versions (the one that comes with stunnel's installation file). I use stunnel to tunnel a thightvnc connection from my windows xp sp2 workstation to a couple of windows 2000 server machine on the opposite side of the building. At the moment i'm keeping 0.98 files on the server machines, 0.97f on my client and it works These are my stunnel.conf files -----------------------------------client CAfile = CAcert.pem CApath = certificates cert = client.pem client = yes verify = 3 debug = 7 output = stunnel.log [vnc] accept = 127.0.0.1:5900 connect = 192.168.1.252:443 [vnc2] accept = 127.0.0.1:5899 connect =

4.12 Broken?
by G J Piper 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

The new Stunnel Version 4.12 doesn't work well with POPs mail retrieval on my system. Reverting back to 4.11 fixes it perfectly. With 4.12, various emails wouldn't come through, got random timeouts, LONG email retrieval times mainly. Sometimes an email would be impossible to retrieve from the spool file. Running Stunnel with default parameters. Standalone I believe POPs runs off xinetd. % uname -a FreeBSD pipercomputerservices.net 4.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE #0: Wed Aug 28 19:41:18 GMT 2002 root@osbuilder:/usr/src/sys/compile/SERVER i386 % gcc -v Using builtin specs. gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release) [FreeBSD] % openssl version OpenSSL 0.9.6e 30 Jul 2002 % stunnel -version stunnel 4.11 on i386-unknown-freebsd4.4 PTHREAD+POLL+IPv4+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.6e 30 Jul 2002 Global options cert = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH debug = 5 key = /usr/local/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem pid = /usr/local/var/run/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes session = 300 seconds verify = none Service-level options TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds

Help: Remote desktop connection crashes Stunnel
by Jonathan Bell 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

In an attempt to get remote desktop set up over SSL tunneling with compression, I have installed stunnel on my Windows XP Professional SP2 machine and created a "portable" stunnel/config/dll zip that just contains the essentials to create a pre-configured tunnel. Here are the two config files: Server -------------------------------- ; Sample stunnel configuration file by Michal Trojnara 2002-2005 ; Some options used here may not be adequate for your particular configuration ; Certificate/key is needed in server mode and optional in client mode ; The default certificate is provided only for testing and should not ; be used in a production environment cert = stunnel.pem key = stunnel.pem ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 compression = zlib ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting debug = 6 output = G:\Stunnel Logs\stunnel.log taskbar = no ; Use it for client mode client = no ; Service-level configuration [remote-desktop] accept = 9833 connect = 127.0.0.1:3389 --------------------------------- Client --------------------------------- ; Sample stunnel configuration file by Michal Trojnara 2002-2005 ; Some options used here may not be adequate for your particular configuration ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 compression = zlib ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting debug = 7 output = stunnel.log taskbar = yes ; Use it for client mode client = yes ; Service-level configuration [remote-desktop] accept = 127.0.0.1:6389 connect = my.host.name:9833 ---------------------------------- The procedure I used was as follows - start Stunnel on the host, run upstairs with the zipped "portable" stunnel on a USB drive, run stunnel on the other PC, also running XP Pro SP2. Start->run->mstsc, enter 127.0.0.1:6389 and all that happens is that stunnel instantly crashes then Remote Desktop times out. What am I doing wrong?

Dual Instance of Stunnel Service on W2K
by Mundy Jennifer 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

Am new to stunnel and in need of some help. I have W2K box that has Stunnel installed as a service. Upon startup, it starts the service and uses the default stunnel.conf file. I would like to install a second Stunnel service and call a custom .conf service. Is this possible? I've read thru the documentation but haven't come across anything about a second service. We're running v4.05. I know I can get a second instance running via cmd line/batch file, but need the second instance to startup automatically so it can be monitored as well as other things.

SSL_GET_NEW_SESSION:ssl session id callback failed

Hi There, We have run into "SSL_GET_NEW_SESSION:ssl session id callback failed" error. Can anyone describe what it means? I didn't find any information about it.

stunnel4 user + permissions
by nick.hoffman＠altcall.com 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

Hey guys, I've been using stunnel for a while and it's great. I've noticed something that doesn't make much sense to me though, so I was wondering if you might be able to shed some light. Stunnel runs as user:group stunnel4:stunnel4. The server reads client certs (for verify = 3) from /etc/stunnel/certs/ which is chown'd root:ssl-certs and chmod'd 750. The client PEMs in that directory have the same ownership and permissions. User stunnel4 is in the ssl-certs group. When a client connects, the server is unable to read from /etc/stunnel/certs/. If I change the ownership of the directory to root:stunnel4 though, everything works. Any idea why this occurs? Cheers, Nick

Win2k, stunnel & Magic Mail Monitor questions
by Dana Rasmussen 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

Hello, I am running Windows 2000. I have recently learned of the stunnel tool. I am using it with Magic Mail Monitor, (MMM). MMM is a POP3 new mail notifier program. MMM allows me to configure a POP3 server by user name, host, password and POP3 port. MMM allows me to have multiple POP3 servers configured. Unfortunately, MMM does not use SSL. I have been able to get MMM to work with stunnel with the following stunnel.conf file: client = yes [MyPOP3SSL] accept=995 connect=mypop3server.com:995 The associated MMM configuration is: user: myuser host: 127.0.0.1 password:mypassword port:995 I would like to be able to add a second POP3 server to MMM, i.e. Gmail. If I add the following to the bottom of the existing stunnel.conf file Gmail POP3SSL access fails. If I add the following to the top of the existing stunnel.conf file the MyPOP3SSL fails but Gmail works. [GmailPOP3SSL] accept=995 connect=pop.gmail.com:995 The additional MMM configuration is: user:mygmail host: 127.0.0.1 password:mygmailpassword port:995 Is there a way to map the MMM configurations to the matching entries in the stunnel.conf file? Thank you, Dana

Stunnel Win32 binary
by Michal Trojnara 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

Dear Users, Some people were asking me for a standalone stunnel.exe file. It's located in stunnel-4.12/src directory of stunnel-4.12.tar.gz archive. Winzip can handle .tar.gz format, so you'll be able to unpack it. http://www.winzip.com/wzdifs.htm BTW: I recommend to try the installer, anyway. It's designed to make the upgrade much easier. You can simply enter the path where your current stunnel.exe and stunnel.conf are located during the install. stunnel.conf and stunnel.pem files won't be replaced and your Windows will remember the path so you won't have to enter it on next upgrade. Also the latest OpenSSL DLLs are installed in stunnel directory each time. Notes: 1. Uninstall removes stunnel.conf, so don't uninstall if you're only going to upgrade stunnel. 2. Remember to stop stunnel before you uninstall/upgrade it. Best regards, Mike

No encryption?
by Revelancefound＠aol.com 27 Sep '05

27 Sep '05

Dear patient users, It seems that stunnel does not encrypt outward traffic from my pc. I was able to get stunnel to work in the first place by having different proxies for each protocol. However, to test if my 8196 bit + x509 certificate keys actually encrypted my traffic I decided to do a test. I had sniffed my own computer using Cain and Able while logging in to my home router. To my disappointment, the sniffer picked up my username and password in plain text through HTTP protocol several times. Either that or Able can crack 256bit level encryption (256 x 32 = 8196) rather quickly. My stunnel.conf file: ; Sample stunnel configuration file by Michal Trojnara 2002-2005 ; Some options used here may not be adequate for your particular configuration ; Certificate/key is needed in server mode and optional in client mode cert = C:\Program Files\stunnel\stunnel.pem key = C:\Program Files\stunnel\stunnel.pem ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ; Workaround for Eudora bug options = DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS ; Authentication stuff ;verify = 2 ; Don't forget to c_rehash CApath; CApath is located inside chroot jail: ;CApath = certs ; It's often easier to use CAfile: ;CAfile = certs.pem ; Don't forget to c_rehash CRLpath; CRLpath is located inside chroot jail: ;CRLpath = crls ; Alternatively you can use CRLfile: ;CRLfile = crls.pem ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting ;debug = 7 ;dutput = C:\Program Files\stunnel\stunnel.log ; Use it for client mode client = yes ; Service-level configuration client = yes verify = 0 ;[pop3s] ;accept = 995 ;connect = 110 ;[imaps] ;accept = 993 ;connect = 143 [ssmtp] accept = 127.0.0.1:465 connect = httpsupportingproxy4:3124 TIMEOUTclose = 0 [http] accept = 127.0.0.1:444 connect = httpsupportingproxy3:6588 TIMEOUTclose = 0 [https] accept = 127.0.0.1:443 connect = httpsupportingproxy2:6588 TIMEOUTclose = 0 [ftps] accept = 127.0.0.1:21 connect = httpsupportingproxy1:6588 TIMEOUTclose = 0 ; vim:ft=dosini And my bat file used to generate keys: openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -config C:\OpenSSL\bin\openssl.cnf -out stunnel.pem -keyout stunnel.pem ;requirements: ;OpensSSL.exe in C:\windows directory ;Installation of Win32OpenSSL-v0.9.8.mis to C:\ ;Edit C:\OpenSSL\bin\openssl.cnf strings ;[ req ] ;default_bits = 8196 ;default_keyfile = stunnel.pem ;distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name ;attributes = req_attributes ;x509_extensions = v3_ca # The extentions to add to the self signed cert Cain Log: ================================================================== = Cain's MAC Scanner/Promiscuous-mode Detector = ================================================================== IP Address: (Router) MAC Address: (RouterMAC) OUI Fingerprint: Cisco-Linksys, LLC Hostname: ARP Test (Broadcast 31-bit): * ARP Test (Broadcast 16-bit): * ARP Test (Broadcast 8-bit): * ARP Test (Group bit): * ARP Test (Multicast group 0): * ARP Test (Multicast group 1): * ARP Test (Multicast group 3): * Am I doing something wrong here?

question about usage of configfile
by Revelancefound＠aol.com 26 Sep '05

26 Sep '05

To put it blatantly, I am trying to make stunnel 4.12 create a 2 way encrypted channel from my home computer as a client to an SSL supporting proxy (HTTP). Also, I am using localhost (127.0.0.1) as a connect address for proxy settings in such programs as Internet Explorer or a download manager. A sample of my stunnel.conf is bellow: client = yes verify = 0 [https] accept = 127.0.0.1:8080 connect = ssl.supporting.httpproxy.with.openport:80 TIMEOUTclose = 0 ; vim:ft=dosini My computer currently has the following installed: stunnel-4.12 Opensslv0.9.8 (Win32OpenSSL-v0.9.8.exe) ActivePerl-5.8.7.813-MSWin32-x86-148120.msi Windows XP Home Edition (SP2) Whenever I try to connect to 127.0.0.1:8080 the stunnel log reports 2005.09.23 20:57:33 LOG5[6012:5668]: stunnel 4.12 on x86-pc-mingw32-gnu WIN32+IPv6 with OpenSSL 0.9.8 05 Jul 2005 2005.09.23 20:57:33 LOG5[6012:4600]: No limit detected for the number of clients 2005.09.23 20:57:38 LOG5[6012:1560]: https connected from 127.0.0.1:3226 2005.09.23 20:59:10 LOG5[6012:5396]: https connected from 127.0.0.1:3232 2005.09.23 21:04:10 LOG5[6012:4576]: https connected from 127.0.0.1:3249 2005.09.23 21:09:10 LOG5[6012:4652]: https connected from 127.0.0.1:3268 2005.09.23 21:14:10 LOG5[6012:5396]: https connected from 127.0.0.1:3283 2005.09.23 21:19:12 LOG5[6012:1556]: https connected from 127.0.0.1:3296 2005.09.23 21:24:13 LOG5[6012:4072]: https connected from 127.0.0.1:3309 2005.09.23 21:29:23 LOG3[6012:3408]: Failed to initialize remote connection 2005.09.23 21:29:23 LOG5[6012:6140]: https connected from 127.0.0.1:3332 And so on into infinity Am I trying to do the impossible, or are all those 8196 bit RSA keys (certified through x508) that I generated going to waste?

Help Installing Stunnel After Reformat Drive
by mxrtmxd72＠att.net 22 Sep '05

22 Sep '05

I have been using Stunnel with Agent versioin 3. My system recently crashed and I had to re-format the hard drive, reinstall Windows XP, and reinstall my apps. I have followed the directions at wurd.com/cl_ssl_stunnel.php#Windows. Fortunately, I had backups of the required files. I placed libeay32.dll, libssl32.dll, stunnel-4.10.exe, and stunnel.conf in C:\Stunnel. I placed a shortcut on the desktop which points to C:\Batch\runagent.bat. C:\Batch\runagent.bat consists of the following line: c:\batch\runagent.cmd c:\batch\runagent.cmd consists of the following lines: net start stunnel "C:\Program Files\Agent\agent.exe" net stop stunnel There is also a desktop shortcut which points to C:\Stunnel\stunnel-4.10.exe. When I place a pause command following the net start stunnel line in runagent.cmd a message appears: The service name is invalid. The WURD document seems to imply that it is not necessary to run stunnel-410.exe -install unless you want Stunnel to run all the time. Am I missing something? I don't remember exactly how I made this work when I first installed it before my system crashed. Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks. Mort Middleman Print. Move to folder:

10x for the quick reply Alaric! Just want to see if I fully understand your note.. You set the stunnel daemon (/application) on a certain client machine. (let's say you have an IMAP client on it) Then, you configure your Argosoft server, which is set on another machine, to listen to SSL communication (i.e. IMAPS). Is this correct?

stunnel-4.11 patch for multiple certificates
by Nick Tolomiczenko 14 Sep '05

14 Sep '05

Hi stunnel users, I placed a patch to stunnel-4.11 that will enable it to handle multiple certificates. It is currently awaiting moderator approval. For those who can't wait, please contact myself, Nick Tolomiczenko, or Shem Ali below. Here's the description of what it does: This patch addresses the need for service-level ssl contexts. In particular, the following options which were only available as global options may now be used at the service level: cert, key, CApath, CAfile, ciphers, CRLpath, CRLfile, options, client and verify. If any of these options are used in a service section, stunnel will override its global setting -- if it exists -- and initialize a separate ssl context for the service. On the other hand, for those services that do not specify any of these options, stunnel will fall back on what was specified in the global section of the configuration file and intialize a "common" ssl context for those services. Note: If all services each specified at least one the the above ssl options, then the no "common" ssl context will be initialized since each service will have its own. In this case, it's still a good idea to put common default ssl options in the global section as each service will inherit these settings even if the service initializes its own ssl context.

[BUG] Stunnel 4.10 + xinetd : Connection reset by peer
by Eric Piel 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

Hello, I've upgraded to stunnel 4.10 yesterday and since this time I can't managed to get stunnel working with xinetd. I try to access a CVS server with ssl encryption. If stunnel is started as stand-alone, it works as before, but when it's started by xinetd all I get is: cvs [update aborted]: reading from server: Connection reset by peer I've attached the connection logs with 4.09 and 4.10 as well as my configuration file (which used to work for more than a year). My xinetd is version 2.3.13 (and I haven't changed it for several months). Please, let me know if I'm overlooking at something or if I can try anything to debug more in depth... Thanks in advance, Eric PS: actually the CVS is accesible from outside, so you might want to try yourself! # Sample stunnel configuration file # Copyright by Michal Trojnara 2002 setuid = root setgid = root # Authentication stuff verify = 2 CAfile = /etc/ssl/stunnel/lifl-cvs.pem # Use it for client mode client = yes #debug = 7 #output = /home/eric/busy/stunnel.log connect = cvs.lifl.fr:2405

Re: Flyspray task #7 - CRLfile is never refreshed
by Kartik Subbarao 27 Aug '05

27 Aug '05

I wanted to follow up on this. Flyspray did not let me add a comment since the bug is closed, so I'm posting to the mailing list. 1. I tried using CRLpath (and setting up the symbolic link properly to the hashed value), but that had the same behavior as CRLfile. It only reads the actual CRL once. If I update the file on disk, it never re-reads the file. So I don't see how this is a workaround. Am I missing something? 2. As I mentioned in my initial report, it is a significant disruption for existing stunnel processes to be killed. If it were possible just to kill the main daemon without also killing the child processes (i.e. like sshd), that could be a workaround. But currently, killing the main stunnel process also kills all child stunnel processes. I guess I don't understand what else one could do in this situation, apart from having the application properly reread the CRL on a regular basis. (OCSP is not yet available). When you say that "that's how openssl works", are you saying that the API does not allow you to reread/reload the CRL file? That seems rather odd. It seems like there should be some kind of way to refresh the OpenSSL data structures that store the CRL. Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.

hello folks, here comes an improved version of the transparent proxy patch, basically solving the previous TODO issues. please try it if you are interested in transparent stunnel. any feedback il welcome. the code is heavly based on the examples distributed along with the cttproxy patch, many thanks to Balzs Scheidler for its great work and to Lennert Buytenhek for the skaidrus example program. this code is (re)distributed under the GPL version 2 MAtteo ---README--- cttproxy patch to stunnel MAtteo HCE Valsasna (matteo dot valsasna at uninsubria dot it) based on example code in cttproxy patch ports stunnel transparent proxy to cttproxy kernel patch allow stunnel server to connect to the application server faking the stunnel client's IP source address. the server sees connections coming from the stunnel client's IP address instead of that of the stunnel server, and thus can apply admission control, bandwidth control, logging policies as if the client connected directly. should work 2.4 and 2.6 kernels and 2.0.x cttproxy patch tested with kernel 2.6.12.5 and cttproxy-2.6.12-2.0.2 patch setup: * application server(s): here run the application(s) you want to access trough stunnel must route all traffic, or at least all traffic for transproxyed connections, trough the stunnel server * stunnel server: must not be the same host as the application server grab recent kernel source patch your kernel source with the appropriate cttproxy patch (from http://www.balabit.com/products/oss/tproxy/) configure kernel with: CONFIG_IP_NF_TPROXY=m CONFIG_IP_NF_MATCH_TPROXY=m CONFIG_IP_NF_TARGET_TPROXY=m make and install kernel reboot and choose patched kernel load tproxy kernel modules # modprobe iptable_tproxy # modprobe ipt_tproxy enable ip forwarding (this must act as a router) # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward grab stunnel source and extract it $ tar xzf stunnel-4.11.tar.gz patch it $ patch -p0 < cttproxy.patch configure selecting tproxy support $ ./configure --enable-tproxy make and install $ make # make install run stunnel in server mode with transparent = yes remote = <application server>:<port> in conf file * stunnel client run plain stunnel, client = yes remote = stunnel server * application client may or may not be the same host as the stunnel client connect to stunnel client to talk securely to application server ---PATCH---diff -crb /tmp/stunnel-4.11/configure stunnel-4.11/configure *** /tmp/stunnel-4.11/configure 2005-07-09 23:00:44.000000000 +0200 --- stunnel-4.11/configure 2005-08-25 16:59:57.000000000 +0200 *************** *** 463,469 **** # include <unistd.h> #endif" !

RE: stunnel and OpenSSL v0.9.8 - tunneling the UDP. Possible?

Hello Michal, Just one thought: - if the stunnel on LAN1 joins a group to receive a multicasted stream does it really depend on DTLS's [in]ability to handle the multicasting? I see it this way - on LAN1 a machine running the (first instance of) stunnel joins a group, i.e. stunnel is told to open a socket with all the relevant socket options. Then, another machine on LAN2 (behind NAT + firewall + internet + firewall + NAT) connects to the first stunnel and tells it's own instance of stunnel to open a socket with all the relevant socket options to emit the (apparently) multicasted stream. Please comment. -- Best regards, Tony

[stunnel patch] transparent proxy on linux 2.6 using cttproxy patch
by MAtteo HCE Valsasna 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

hi folks: as suggested in http://www.stunnel.org/faq/transparent.html#ToC3, I modified the stunnel code to use the transparent proxy funcionality on 2.6 (and possibly 2.4) linux kernels with the cttproxy patch (http://www.balabit.com/products/oss/tproxy/, I used )cttproxy-2.6.12-2.0.2. on a clean 2.6.12.5 kernel) the patch is higly incomplete, but it works (see TODO). please try it if you are interested in transparent stunnel. any feedback il welcome. MAtteo the code is heavly based on the examples distributed along with the cttproxy patch, many thanks to Balázs Scheidler for its great work and for making it GPL. with this patch, I was able to run a stunnel in server mode with the transparent option, and the application server I connected to saw the IP address of the stunnel client. of course, this code il also redistributed under the GPL. conditions for running stunnel in transparent mode: if you want to try this patch, you MUST modify the hardcoded IP address in client.c to the IP address of the stunnel server (look for DOIT! in the source code). any improvements wellcome. the stunnel server must run a linux kernel patched with the cttproxy patch the stunnel server and the application server cannot be the same host the application server must believe that it has to route all packets of transparently tunneled connections via the stunnel server. thus the two server should be on the same subnet. I was also able to use linux policy routing to avoid modifying the general routing on the application server: transparently tunneled connections are directed to a different IP on the application server, where a policy rule applies a specific routing table to packets with that source address (see at the end of this message). TODO: stunnel must explicitly bind to an *existing* local address (not loopback) before calling setsockopt(SOL_IP, IP_TPROXY, TPROXY_ASSIGN)"). now the address is hardcoded in the patch, it should automatically find a local address to bind to (or get it from the config file) now the code will only run with tproxy patch version 2.0.2 it should be less strict about tproxy version (make it a configurable option in stunnel?). which tproxy version will it run with?

Hello stunnel-users, OpenSSL from v0.9.8 onwards (I'm told) supports a thing called DTLS. On the OpenSSL's list I was told that it's the tool one needs to use for UDP tunneling. Are there any plans to use this OpenSSL's functionality in the stunnel? I need to securely tunnel the UDP traffic, namely multicasted datagramms. -- Best regards, Tony.

Stunnel HTTPS Client Issue
by Salar Madadi 19 Aug '05

19 Aug '05

Hello, We are having a problem with our application using STUNNEL and are stuck. I have detailed the issue below with more detailed info about our setup. I am not very familiar with the SSL protocol so I am having trouble identifying the differences between the log samples I posted to determine what the issue may be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Salar Madadi - Latest Developments Inc. Problem Description ************************************ We are using Stunnel to provide an HTTPS client for use with the UPS ShipXML service. Our application is an xBase++ 1.82 service using the XB2.NET library, running on a windows 2003 server. The application opens a connection to stunnel, which then connects to the UPS https server to send and retrieve an xml response with shipping data. UPS made a change to their service last week related to load balancing and our application has not worked since then. When we send an XML document to UPS we receive the exact same XML document back as if it has been bounced instead of the proper response. Our setup was working until they made the change and they have no idea what is going on. Stunnel Version ***************************************** The problem initially happened with stunnel v. 4.05 and openSSL v. 0.9.7c. I have also tried it with stunnel v. 4.11 and openSSL v. 0.9.7f and the same result occurs.

Any examples of Stunnel usage in "enterprise environments"?
by Claus Lund 06 Aug '05

06 Aug '05

Hi everybody, I was just wondering if there are any public examples of widespread Stunnel usage in an enterprise environments? I'm a UNIX admin where I work and we are currently working on trying to find a solution for encrypting all network traffic to and from the UNIX machines (all the clients are using Windows boxes). We are running a variety of services on the boxes including Samba, homegrown services for our 3-tier app, Oracle, DB2 etc... I already have proof of concept setups for every network service that we offer but I think some "real-world examples" would go a long to convince my boss (and the Windows admins) that Stunnel is a viable option for us. Thank you in advance, Claus

Many times people have written in pointing out problems with stunnel crashing, dumping core, locking up, yet all you can offer is 'never report problems with older versions', 'you have no right to complain', etc etc, and now you have the arrogance to tell us all we have no clue how to report bugs. I get the feeling you are upset because so many of us discover problems with this software. Andrew

Stunnel dumping core
by Stephen Tanner 04 Aug '05

04 Aug '05

I've been running stunnel to tunnel syslog-ng messages to a loghost. On some occasions, be it a network maintenance issue or fluke, if a server loses connection to the loghost, stunnel starts spewing broken pipe messages to syslog. Sometimes shutting it down while it is doing this, it will dump core. Anyone have an idea on what might be causing this? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Stephen Tanner HP-UX Systems Administrator Network Support Services Lee County Clerk of Courts =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Error resolving '...' (Windows)
by Oliver Ackermann (infowing AG) 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

On a Windows 2000 machine I always get the following error when I try to start stunnel (4.11): Error resolving 'x.y.z.23': Neither nodename nor servname known (EAI_NONAME) The client should connect to a server using SSL. x.y.z.23 is a static IP address of the client. The client has multiple IP addresses and stunnel should use this one to connect to the server. Contents of stunnel.conf: client=yes [service] local=x.y.z.23 accept=12345 connect=server:12345 Why does stunnel try to "resolve" this IP? Is the configuration correct? Thanks for your help! Oliver

ftp support for stunnel-4.11 (still has errors, do not know why)
by ZHUANG YUYAO 03 Aug '05

03 Aug '05

hi, here is the initial patch (pre-pre-pre-alpha! just a demo/test) for adding ftp support to stunnel-4.11. Known bugs: 1) only tested under linux. debian 3.1 (testing), gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13) 2) ftp_alloc_port() in ftp.c is not yet finished. just a demo; 3) only works when configured with --with-threads=ucontext. does not work with --with-threads=pthread! 4) libwrap support is not tested. 5) only tested with flashfxp (3.0.2 build(1043) implicit SSL); 6) still contains memory leaks. 7) can only successfully transfer(RETR) small files whose size is less than about 90K bytes. stunnel hangs while transferring a larger file, looks like poll() in scan_waiting_queue() (network.c line 164) can not receive a POLLOUT event from ssl_wfd->fd after successfully transfered 90K bytes. the log file is also included in this mail. bug #7 really frustrats me. still do not know why. could anyone please give me some hints?

some thoughts of add ftp server proxy support to stunnel4. comments required
by ZHUANG YUYAO 30 Jul '05

30 Jul '05

Hi, I am thinking about adding ftp protocol support to stunnel4. first, some restrictions to simplify the implimentation: 1) only support for stunnel running in server mode, users can use ftp clients which support ssl connection (ie. FlashFXP) to connect to the real ftp server through stunnel daemon; 2) only support standalone service mode of stunnel. (inted support may be added later, I've just read the source code related to standalone service, and have not got any clue about how to support inetd.) 3) only support FTP implicit SSL and PASSIVE mode; the code may look like this: (the real ftp server is at 192.168.10.254, listening on port 21.) 1) start a stunnel daemon nonmally with accept = 990, remote = 192.168.10.254:21, protocol = ftp; 2) when a connection come in, parse the ftp server response, search for "227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,10,254,133,22)", then got the data connection IP: 192.168.10.254 PORT: 34070; 3) plus 1 to the data connction port 34070, then we got 34071 which will be used as stunnel accept port; 4) create a LOCAL_OPTIONS structure instance opt (prototypes.h) dynamically, set opt->accept=1, opt->local_addr same to the parent stunnel, change its port to 34071, opt->remote_addr = real data connection (IP: 192.168.10.254 PORT: 34070); opt->fd = socket(), bind(); 5) set local_option->next = opt; 6) s_poll_add (&fds, opt->fd, 1, 0); (stunnel.c) (the local variable fds needs to be changed to a global variable, by the way, I think it is also required if stunnel want real SIGHUP configuration-on-the-fly support) 7) changed server response to "227 Entering Passive Mode (STUNNEL_LOCAL_HOST,133,23)", then send back to client. 8) the client will then connect to STUNNEL_LOCAL_HOST port = 34071, negotiate SSL session and send/receive data; 9) after ftp session finished (How to know a ftp session is finished?), free the dynamic LOCAL_OPTIONS opt, remove opt->fd from fds, close the data sessoin. There are only two source file (stunnel.c, protocol.c) need to be modified to implement these functions. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you. Zhuang Yuyao 2005/7/28

Hi, I am new to stunnel and Linux. I am trying to set up a secure connection to a server which can be accessed from any web browser on a designated port. I need to be able to access a web browser server administration interface, this is over http, I need to make this an https connection. I have compiled and installed stunnel on a Linux machine (FC4) but can't seem to get any response from it or make it work. If anyone can explain, step by step, how to configure stunnel for general https usage, it would be greatly appreciated. I have looked through the documentation but I have not been able to get it to work. I have also noticed that webmin supports stunnel but there is nothing in it. I added this to the conf file: [https] accept = 8080 connect = 28477 TIMEOUTclose = 0 Thanks

3.x branch updates
by Brian Hatch 29 Jul '05

29 Jul '05

As y'all can probably see, I've started climbing out from the rock under which I've been living (the rock called "too many kids".) If there are folks who have issues or bugs in stunnel 3.x, let's get talking off list so we can make another release. I'd like to include only security or bug fixes. The 4.x branch is totally fine, and I see no reason to add new features to the 3.x branch. This would be one of at most a few last bug fix releases for the 3.x branch so I can lay it to rest. -- Brian Hatch "Look, somebody's got to have Systems and some damn perspective around Security Engineer here.

Linux pppd VPN network notwork very well
by Colin McKinnon 27 Jul '05

27 Jul '05

Hi all, I've got two two LANs behind masquerading routers that I've linked via a stunnel + pppd vpn. When it works, it works, but I've got a couple of problems - has anybody out there in Stunnel Land managed to fix / workaround these? 1) The connection goes down fairly regluarly. I've setup a cron job to move a few packets back and forth to make sure that the ADSL connection at both ends stays up (pppd set not do demand stuff). There's nothing in the logs to suggest that the ADSL *is* going down, but I thought it would eliminate a lot of possibilities. (see log entries below). Currently the link is going down at lesat once per day. Uptime varies greatly. I can't see anyway of asking stunnel to try again if the pppd exits (see conf below) other than manually restarting it. I'm hoping to scale the VPN up to multiple sites - with one connection, I can just do /etc/rc.d/stunnel restart - but if I've got multiple instances of stunnel running with different configs it gets a bit messy to reset a single connection. I did think about having multiple hard links to the stunnel binary, so each VPN will have a different process name attached to it, but this strikes me as a bit of a hack. 2) bandwidth on the link is poor. I consistently get 1/4 of the bandwidth (measured using scp to copy largish files) compared with bypassing the stunnel/pppd pair (same route between LANs). While I expected some overhead, this seems rather a lot. 3) latency is a lot higher too 4) The VPN seems to stutter more regularly than the direct connection ...I mean that I don't seem to be getting any traffic for 5-10 seconds then it resumes without any loss of data (e.g. when using ssh). The routers at either end are relatively dumb so (as I understand it) there's not many options for using IPIP or GRE tunnelling). Anybody got any suggestions as to how I can make it (particularly) more reliable and (also) a bit faster?

newbie q: stunnel -d and -r options
by Jagannadha Bhattu 27 Jul '05

27 Jul '05

I was reading a book where they discussed using stunnel as client and server proxy with -d -r and -c options. I have SuSE 9.3 and the stunnel on it has different options. Then I found that we have to use config file. I used it to configure my server. I defined the following section: [myserver] accept = 12345 connect = 12323 Here my server listens on 12323. I have my server already running. Now I typed stunnel and nothing happened. I typed "pgrep stunnel" and could not see anything. Apparently I have not understood how stunnel works. Can some one let me know how can I configure to use stunnel to secure my server app and my client app which are not ssl aware. I also have a question. The book which I am reading says, stunnel acts as a proxy for a server app. If my server app is listening on A then if I want stunnel to service all clients connecting to A then how can it do it as that port is already serviced by my server app. Thanks JB

samba over stunnel performance
by Brian Szymanski 26 Jul '05

26 Jul '05

Howdy... I'm trying to run samba over stunnel on a wireless connection. Here's the setup: unix box <- wifi -> windows laptop Unfortunately, reading files from the shared drive is extremely slow. If I look at the stunnel box on my windows machine, it is pumping out about 20 messages/second that say: LOG7[2140:3636]: SSL_read returned WANT_READ: retrying On two >1GHz machines, this is utilizing about 5% of cpu, and 4% of the 11Mbps link. Clearly there is room for improvement here! I tried poking around with stunnel.conf on the server to no avail - specifically, I commented out the lines: ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ;compression = rle And restarted stunnel - same miserable performance (roughly the same throughput, and resource usage). Is there something about the SMB protocol that would cause stunnel to not deal with it well? If so, is there a configuration option somewhere I can tune, or do I have to RTFS & hack it to get decent performance here? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Problems compiling on AIX5.2 -- ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .inflateEnd

25 Jul '05

Hi everybody, I am trying to get stunnel 4.11 compiled on my AIX boxes but I am not having much luck. I am using GCC 3.3.2 on AIX 5.2. OpenSSL has been compiled and is working on those same boxes (OpenSSL 0.9.8). I configured stunnel using: root@tax178:/tmp/stunnel/stunnel-4.11 # ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc/stunnel --prefix=/usr/local --disable-libwrap And everything seems to go OK during the config steps. When I try to build stunnel it comes up with a series of warnings and eventually dies with a bunch of errors.

Poll Problem
by John O'Fallon 24 Jul '05

24 Jul '05

I have confirmed that the problem I reported last week (on Mac OS X, streams are truncated with a reported "s_poll_wait returned 1, but no descriptor is ready" error) can be corrected by using the older "select" versions of the network functions. I did this by tweaking the source, but would like to make the fix as cleanly as possible, so... Sorry if this is in the docs (I couldn't find it), but what is the best way to disable the poll option?

Question regarding SSL v2/v3
by vasudha.upadhyaya＠convergys.com 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

We have been using Stunnel 4.05 now for quite sometime now with OpenSSL 0.97d.I had a question regarding the SSL Version.When I look into the Stunnel.log I see Negotiated ciphers: AES256-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=AES(256) Mac=SHA1 This means that stunnel is using AES-256-SHA1 which uses SSL v3. Is it standard for stunnel4.05 to use SSL v3 or is it dependent on the OpenSSL Version. We haven't configured anything in the stunnel.conf to use SSL v3. Thanks, Vasudha. -------------------------------------------- Vasudha Upadhyaya Convergys Speech Solutions Ph:703-885-5837 vasudha.upadhyaya(a)convergys.com -- "NOTICE: The information contained in this electronic mail transmission is intended by Convergys Corporation for the use of the named individual or entity to which it is directed and may contain information that is privileged or otherwise confidential.

Problem with mysql
by lmarcilly＠aressi.fr 20 Jul '05

20 Jul '05

Hi all, i try to encrypt mysql connections... I saw this : http://www.stunnel.org/examples/mysql.html but i use stunnel4.x. I configure it on my windows box and it work well! (mysql server is on a linux box, i have configure stunnel as a server on this box) when i try mysql -u user --password=xyz it works but i have to made it work on a linux box. I use the same config file for stunnel, but when i try mysql -u user --password=xyz i have : Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' This socket doesn't exist since there is no MySQL server on the box. I try with --protocol=TCP but it won't work, i have : Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' Do you have an idea? Do you want more details on my config file for stunnel? Thanks in advance and sorry for my english! lm

SSL Session Cache and HTTPS performance
by Daniel Hamburg 19 Jul '05

19 Jul '05

Hello everybody, I hope I didn't muss an existing thread about this question, but I wasn't able to find one. At least none where I found an answer, although my question is quite simple. I would like to test the performance difference between enabled and disabled SSLCaching. I use a configuration file for Stunnel 4.11 (daemon mode) where I tell it to accept incoming connections on port 444 and direct them to a local web-server on port 80. Because STunnel uses Caching by default, I tried to tell STunnel to disable SSL Caching by setting session = 0 in the configuration file, which resulted in an error when starting the program. I looked at the code and found that there is a check so that the session parameter can not be equal to 0. I disabled the check and started stunnel again which seemed to work. But taking a look at the packets exchanged via a browser and the server resulted in the conclusion that caching is still enabled. My simple question is, how I can disable the Caching. Another question is if anyone of you has made any performance tests regarding STunnel in combination with an Apache HTTP server on the same machine.

smtps problem on Fedora Core 4
by Anders Gjerløv 19 Jul '05

19 Jul '05

Hi, I am trying to get the smtps solution described on http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/answers.php?action=viewarticle&arti… working on my server. Basically I want my users on Windows XP boxes to get their mail from 127.0.0.1:100 and send their mail to 127.0.0.1:25 I have gotten as far as having the users able to get mails. That is I have stunnel on a windows box, with a configuration file like this: client = yes debug = debug cert = pemfile.pem [pop3s] accept = localhost:110 connect = my.domain.com:995 [smtps] accept = localhost:25 connect = my.domain.com:465 And a telnet to port 110 on the lookback interface gives me access to the pop server. Så I am guessing that the certificates etc. are working correctly. As for the smtps I am using xinetd, and have tried with various configurations. Here is one of the one's that didn't work: service smtps { disable = no socket_type = stream wait = no user = root server = /usr/sbin/stunnel server_args = -v3 -rlocalhost:25 log_on_success += HOST DURATION log_on_failure += HOST ATTEMPT } Any ideas as to how to setup my xinetd file (or is there a better solution?) # stunnel -version stunnel 4.08 on i386-redhat-linux-gnu PTHREAD+POLL+IPv4+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.7f 22 Mar 2005 Global options cert = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH debug = 5 key = /etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem pid = /var/run/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes session = 300 seconds verify = none Service-level options TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds Kind regards, Anders

Stunnel on openwrt
by Markus Mauch 15 Jul '05

15 Jul '05

Hello, I'm using stunnel on a asus router with a openwrt like linux on it. The Idea is to secure traffic from and to a thttpd web server which is running on that box as well. Problem is that stunnel only seems to be able to handle one connection at a time. Whenever it has to cope with more than one it crashes. Unfortunatelly this happens all the time because usually a web browser opens several tcp connections in order to speed things up. So whenever I browse to a web page on the router through stunnel I get only the text. The rest (e.g. the images) which is loaded via different tcp connections does not appear and stunnel won't respond to any further requests until it is restarted. My explanation to this is that the very first request is processed normally but as soon as one other connection causes stunnel to create a second process the whole thing goes to the dogs. ps reveals that there are always two instances of stunnel running after such an experiment, both hanging, of course. So my question is what could I do to keep stunnel from creating new processes when a client tries to communicate over more than one tcp connection or - better - what chould I do in the first place to prevent stunnel from hanging in such a case? Any help would be very apreciated...

Mike, GREAT! I did see a patch out on the web that seems to add this feature. Any chance that patch will be included in MAIN? I don't want to have to patch stunnel on multiple OS especially when you are going to implement the feature yourself. What can I do to "encourage" you to add that support sooner than later?

HTTPS Proxy support?
by Sean E. Covel 14 Jul '05

14 Jul '05

I am trying to use stunnel to tunnel VNC through a firewall using port 443. When I test on 2 machines on the LAN everything works fine. Nice tool! When I try to connect through the firewall I suspect the HTTPS Proxy is getting in the way. It requires authentication. Does stunnel support HTTPS Proxies with authentication? Could it? Thanks, Sean

Q: controlled access to service?
by Nardmann, Heiko 14 Jul '05

14 Jul '05

Hi, I want to control access to a through stunnel reachable service. Only those clients shall be allowed to use the service which provide a known certificate. I have found the option "CApath"; can this directory be used to collect all client certificates? Or is it absolutely necessary to have CA certs there? Another thing in this environment: I do not know or own every CA certificate used by the clients - I only get the client certificates itself. So I want to do only a one-level client cert verification. Which verify level do I need for this? 2 or 3? What about removing certificates from the CApath directory? Do I have to restart stunnel to make this change be effective? Another thing: since the client certificates are not revoked by us I am not able to use CRLs for controlling access to our service. -- Heiko Nardmann (Dipl.-Ing.

Re: [stunnel-users] Certificate renaming
by Paul Jones 13 Jul '05

13 Jul '05

>"The easiest option is to use CAfile instead of CApath." So does the CA (Certificate Authority) certificate still go in the CAfile? That would mean the CAfile contains the CA certificate and all client certificates (on the server side), right?

debugging stunnel
by edonald1＠rochester.rr.com 12 Jul '05

12 Jul '05

Been trying to debug stunnel issues for stunnel-4.09 on Solaris 2.8. When in trouble I resort to reading documentation. It is now that I notice these two small lines in the begining of the document called INSTALL: 1. If your machine supports POSIX threads make sure your SSL library is compiled with -DTHREADS. I did not do this .... ( verify openssl is compiled with -DTHREADS). WHat is the result of not compiling openssl with THREADS? Also what version of openssl is recommended. I am using OpenSSL 0.9.6m . Thanks in advance, Liz

stunnel 4.11 relaesed
by Michal Trojnara 12 Jul '05

12 Jul '05

Dear Users, Here is the ChangeLog entry: Version 4.11, 2005.07.09, urgency: MEDIUM: * New features - New ./configure option --with-threads to select thread model. - ./configure option --with-tcp-wrappers renamed to --disable-libwrap. I hope the meaning of the option is much more clear, now. * Bugfixes - Workaround for non-standard makecontext() uc_stack.ss_sp parameter semantics on Sparc/Solaris 9 and earlier. - scan_waiting_queue() no longer drops contexts. - Inetd mode coredumps with UCONTEXT fixed. - Cleanup context is no longer used. - Releasing memory of the current context is delayed. - Win32 headers reordered for Visual Studio 7. - Some Solaris compilation warnings fixed. - Rejected inetd mode without 'connect' or 'exec'. * Release notes - UCONTEXT threading seems stable, now. Upgrade is recommended. Home page, downloads: http://stunnel.mirt.net/ sha1sum for stunnel-4.11.tar.gz file: cf57169d591fbe3371a29e432d840e7f66103a9f Best regards, Mike

Stunnel-4.10 and Stunnel-4.11 in HPUX-11.23 IPF gives coredump
by Punitha 12 Jul '05

12 Jul '05

Hello All, I'm using HP-UX11.23 IPF. I have built Stunnel-4.11 with OpenSSL - 0.9.7e. I could build it successfully but I'm failed in connecting with telnet. After a while connecting to the telnet the client gets coredump and kills the process. So the connection is no more established. Note: I had the same problem in Stunnel-4.10 also but not before that. I could very well compile and use Stunnel-4.09. My configuration file for client is: cert = /opt/iexpress/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem chroot = /opt/iexpress/stunnel/var/stunnel pid = setuid = root setgid = root CAfile = /opt/iexpress/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem debug = 7 client = yes foreground = yes verify = 3 [test1] accept = 8080 connect = 9090 For server: cert = /opt/iexpress/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem chroot = /opt/iexpress/stunnel/var/stunnel pid = setuid = root setgid = root CAfile = /opt/iexpress/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem debug = 6 client = no foreground = yes verify = 1 [test1] accept = 9090 connect = 23 The client log shows as follows: # ../../sbin/stunnel stunnel-client.conf 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG5[8909:1]: stunnel 4.11 on ia64-hp-hpux11.23 UCONTEXT+POLL+IPv4+LIBWRAP with OpenSSL 0.9.7e 25 Oct 2004 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: Snagged 64 random bytes from /dev/random 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: RAND_status claims sufficient entropy for the PRNG 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG6[8909:1]: PRNG seeded successfully 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: Certificate: /home/punitha/stunnel1/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: Key file: /home/punitha/stunnel1/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: Loaded verify certificates from /home/punitha/stunnel1/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG6[8909:1]: file ulimit = 2048 (can be changed with 'ulimit -n') 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG6[8909:1]: poll() used - no FD_SETSIZE limit for file descriptors 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG5[8909:1]: 1000 clients allowed 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: FD 3 in non-blocking mode 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: FD 4 in non-blocking mode 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: FD 5 in non-blocking mode 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: SO_REUSEADDR option set on accept socket 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: test1 bound to 0.0.0.0:8080 2005.07.10 23:39:26 LOG7[8909:1]: No pid file being created 2005.07.10 23:40:08 LOG7[8909:1]: test1 accepted FD=8 from 127.0.0.1:49700 2005.07.10 23:40:08 LOG7[8909:1]: Creating a new context 2005.07.10 23:40:08 LOG7[8909:1]: Context 2 created 2005.07.10 23:40:08 LOG7[8909:2]: Context swap: 1 -> 2 Memory fault(coredump) # It will be helpful if anyone of you guide me in this.

Re: [stunnel-users] Poll/Descriptor Problem

Hi I get the same/similar error messages using Stunnel 4.10 (client) on Solaris 9 (sparc). I also see some very large integer numbers (e.g. FD=2615261238) in the log which art file descriptors. Perhaps there is an issue with big/little endedness in the later Stunnel releases. I went back to using Stunnel 4.07 and the problems went away.

I am running Stunnel 4.09 on Mac OS X 10.4 to provide HTTPS service on the standard ports (accept on 443, connect to 80). All connections are either truncated or dropped entirely, with the following messages written to the log: ------------------------------------------ https connected from ... INTERNAL ERROR:s_poll_wait returned 1, but no descriptor is ready Connection reset: XXXXXX bytes sent to SSL, XXX bytes sent to socket ------------------------------------------ I've tried 4.10, but the result is exactly the same. Does anybody have any thoughts on what might be going on? Thanks, John

Re: [stunnel-users] Certificate renaming
by Paul Jones 07 Jul '05

07 Jul '05

>From the discussion here, I got the impression that it is still possible for Stunnel to run correctly and successful connections to be made if the certificate files are NOT renamed using the xxxxx.0 format, where xxxxx is the hash value of the certificate. So I simply placed the .crt files for all clients on the server (under the directory specified in the CApath field in the CONF file). Now, I've tried, tried, and tried, but it still doesn't work. I get a "bad certificate" error when attempting to connect from the client. Am I missing something? Note: I am running Stunnel on Win2K. Cheers.

Certificate renaming
by Paul Jones 05 Jul '05

05 Jul '05

So what you are saying is that Stunnel will still work successfully and find the correct certificates if I do NOT name the certificate files using their hash values? And since my server will only have a maximum of 16 clients, finding the correct certificate shouldn't cause too many speed issues. Right? Cheers.

Certificate renaming
by Paul Jones 04 Jul '05

04 Jul '05

Hi all, I understand that in order for Stunnel to find a certificate, it has to be renamed to something like xxxxxx.0 (where xxxxxx is obtained by using the "openssl x509" command on the certificate). Why is this the case? I read somewhere that this helps Stunnel find the certificate quicker (i.e. Stunnel does not need to look at every certificate file before it knows which one it wants). Can someone provide me a better explanation please? Is there any way around this? Renaming the certificate file in such a manner causes confusion when searching for the certificate of a particular client... Cheers.

AW: [stunnel-users] Reporting problems
by Smith, Derek John 01 Jul '05

01 Jul '05

Hi all, sorry to have to use the list for this, but it would appear to be the last option available. This is from a previous posting from Brian Hatch ... > As the maintenance man of the 3.x branch (yes, some folks do > use it still) > the official stance is this: > > * if it's a security bug, I'll patch it. > * if it's a bug and you have a patch that works, I'll probably > apply it > * if it's a bug and you don't have a patch, I probably don't > have the cycles to investigate it, sorry. > However, the reality is different. Yes, some people still do use release 3. I have customers who prefer proven stability over new innovation. This is meant to be understood in a general way (i.e. database upgrades, OS updates etc) and not specifically to stunnel. I have mailed Brian several times about problems concerning release 3.26 and not a single reply has been received. Maybe the mails never arrived, but I doubt it very much. Also, no changes have been made to the software, so the supplied patch never got applied. In the complete absence of any proof to the contrary, I can only assume that the following statement holds:- RELEASE 3 IS DEAD !!!!!!!!!! I welcome evidence refuting this, but won't hold my breath. In the meantime, testing will start on release 4. Brian, if you're reading this, I'm not trying to start a flame war, or dissing you. A simple mail would have sufficed ... Derek

4.10 Crashes with Multiple Connections
by Eddie Atherton 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

Hi. Just started to use stunnel for NNTP traffic to Giga on a gateway Linux 2.4 box that sits between Windows and my cable modem. The NewsReader I use is configured to open 4 connections at the same time. Downloaded and installed 4.10, then immediately hit the -lpthread problem. Edited the Makefile, did a "make clean", "make", and "make install". Tried again. Got an immediate crash. Tried a few more times. Sometimes it crashed, other times the NewsReader reported one connection as working, one as connected, but not pulling any data, and two connections as connecting. So, it looks like everything works with only one active connection, but it segfaults when 2 or more threads are pulling data. The problem is, I can't always get it to crash. Plus, cpu use of stunnel sometimes pegs at 99%, even after closing the connections, and again this isn't consistent. When I turn debug on, it has always only used one active connection, so I don't get the crash. Plus, when debug is on, and I terminate the connections from the NewsReader, the log file expanded to 18meg in less than a minute. I then downloaded and installed 4.9, and this appears to handle the 4 active connections without any problems. Any suggestions as to what kind of information I should try and collect for this. Cheers, Eddie

Greetings all- I'm an internet developer (mainly ColdFusion, some Windows, database stuff, etc.) and I've just inherited a Windows system that is utilizing Stunnel (I believe it's version 3.4) and in the log files I'm seeing this error all over the place: "SSL_read returned WANT_ - retry" It's usually listed around other messages in the log file such as "socket closed", "connection closed", etc. I noticed these messages in our logs because I got a call to restart our web services; everything froze up and the site would not come up. I stopped and started the web services and everything came back up. For a long time everyone around here has been blaming our ColdFusion server (version 6.1) but it looks to me like the Stunnel is throwing a wrench and halting everything - does anyone know what these errors mean or could you direct me to a place on the stunnel site that could offer some insight? I tried looking around the FAQ section but didn't see my error listed. Any help or input you could provide would be most appreciated! Many thanks in advance, Rich

I am running a win32 based IRC server and I wanted to add SSL to it. I have stunnel up and running. I have the necessary dlls installed. And I have found various help pages on creating the config file. And lastly my irc client is capable of connecting to SSL based servers. so here is my config file: <---- beging ------> RNDfile = C:\stunnel-prnd.txt RNDoverwrite = yes debug = 7 output = C:\stunnel.log [irc] accept = 66.98.154.87:994 connect = 127.0.0.1:994 <---- ending -----> And here is the log outup to help figure out what is wrong as well. <---- log -----> 2005.06.27 21:38:46

Implementing a transparent proxy on Windows (Winsock) requires a process to globaly intercept Winsock API function. It's a lame, MSDOS-like solution that I'm not going to support. Best regards, Mike

Transparent client IP on Windows
by Paul Jones 28 Jun '05

28 Jun '05

Hi all, I've read (and tested for myself) on a few sites that Stunnel does not transparently pass the IP of the connecting client to the server app. My server app thinks all connecting clients are coming from IP 127.0.01. Apparently this can be enabled on Linux with the -T argument. Does anyone know if (and how) this is somehow possible on Windows? Cheers.

Stunnel 4.09 exits unexpected on solaris 2.8
by edonald1＠rochester.rr.com 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

Hi, I am running the following version of Stunnel: ./stunnel -version stunnel 4.09 on sparc-sun-solaris2.8 PTHREAD+POLL+IPv4 with OpenSSL 0.9.6m 17 Mar 2004 Global options cert = /apps/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+SSLv2:@STRENGTH debug = 5 key = /apps/stunnel/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem pid = /apps/stunnel/var/run/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDfile = /dev/urandom RNDoverwrite = yes session = 300 seconds verify = none Service-level options TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds It is compiled with pthreads and without TCPwrappers. I am using it to tunnel a mod_jk connection between apache and tomcat. It works perfectly in my Development and QA environment ( runs for weeks on end). When I moved it to production it started not to work so well. Stunnel would mysterious stop working on the server side (procesd disappears). There are no errors in the log whatsoever and the log level is set at 7. One difference in my production environment is that there are multiple clients (apache) and one server (tomcat). All Thoughts are welcome. Thank You

Errors sending email thru gmail's smtp server
by Melinda Chin 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

Hi, I have written an email client application to send/receive email. However, gmail accounts requires that email clients use SSL. In order to do this, I am running stunnel in the background. I am able to retrieve emails from gmail pop3 server, but I am not able To send email thru gmail smtp server. Gmail requires that email clients Support SMTP authentication, and also requires TLS. I am receiving the following errors in stunnel.log when trying to send email from gmail accounts. Attached is my stunnel.conf file. Is there something I am missing to cause these errors ?

Passphrase validation
by Peter Pentes 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

Hi, As I understand it, Stunnel does not currently support the validation of certificate passphrases. For example, to make a connection from the client to the server, no passphrase is requested when a certificate is selected. Are there any plans for this feature to be added to Stunnel?

That's all well and good for a Unix environment, but what about on Windows? No chown or chmod on there! I believe that it is sometimes useful for the passphrase to be requested by Stunnel on startup (on the client side), but you all make valid points.

4.10 runtime crash (alignment error?) in Solaris 7
by Old Wolf 24 Jun '05

24 Jun '05

When I run stunnel 4.10 with openssl 0.9.8 beta4 in Solaris 7, it crashes just after a connection is established. Nothing appears in the stunnel log. If I run it in foreground mode, "Bus Error" appears on the console. Running with 'truss -f', I see the output that follows. Gdb reveals nothing (it's not compiled for debug and I"m not sure how to change that). so_socket(2, 2, 0, "", 1) = 9 fcntl(9, F_GETFL, 0x00000000) = 2 fstat64(9, 0x001686B8) = 0 getsockopt(9, 65535, 8192, 0x001687B8, 0x001687B0, 0) = 0 fstat64(9, 0x001686B8) = 0 getsockopt(9, 65535, 8192, 0x001687B8, 0x001687B4, 0) = 0 setsockopt(9, 65535, 8192, 0x001687B8, 4, 0) = 0 fcntl(9, F_SETFL, 0x00000082) = 0 time() = 1118632479 getpid() = 25472 [25471] write(3, " 2 0 0 5 . 0 6 . 1 3 1".., 61) = 61 time() = 1118632479 getpid() = 25472 [25471] write(3, " 2 0 0 5 . 0 6 . 1 3 1".., 78) = 78 connect(9, 0x00168998, 16, 1) = 0 time() = 1118632479 getpid() = 25472 [25471] write(3, " 2 0 0 5 . 0 6 . 1 3 1".., 59) = 59 Incurred fault #5, FLTACCESS %pc = 0x00031720 siginfo: SIGBUS BUS_ADRALN addr=0x0002CDE9 Received signal #10, SIGBUS [default] siginfo: SIGBUS BUS_ADRALN addr=0x0002CDE9 *** process killed *** The stunnel options are: stunnel 4.10 on sparc-sun-solaris2.7 UCONTEXT+POLL+IPv4 with OpenSSL 0.9.8-beta4 06 Jun 2005 Global options cert = /u/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem ciphers = ALL:!ADH:+RC4:@STRENGTH debug = 5 key = /u/etc/stunnel/stunnel.pem pid = /u/var/run/stunnel.pid RNDbytes = 64 RNDoverwrite = yes session = 300 seconds verify = none Service-level options TIMEOUTbusy = 300 seconds TIMEOUTclose = 60 seconds TIMEOUTconnect = 10 seconds TIMEOUTidle = 43200 seconds Also, I had some warnings errors during compilation , which should be fixed (compiling with gcc 3.4.1 in pedantic mode). (None of them are the cause of the crash though, as I hacked up some fixes and the crash still happened). log.c: In function `s_log': log.c:134: warning: implicit declaration of function `localtime_r' log.c:134: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast The culprit here is that config.h defines HAVE_LOCALTIME_R, but when the system header with that function is included, the #defines are set up so that localtime_r is NOT defined. (I guess this is an autoconf problem). The code links successfully but I'm not sure how reliable it will be, since localtime_r was not declared properly. options.c and network: there were many uses of isspace() with a (signed) char value, this is incorrect (isspace requires an unsigned char value -- it could fail if it gets a negative number). However many C libraries (eg. glibc) work with negative values anyway, although I have used compilers that don't. resolver.c has some cases of potential alignment errors, but I guess they aren't a problem in this case.

Compile stunnel 4.10 using VC7(aka Visual Studio 2003)
by Han Jun Li 23 Jun '05

23 Jun '05

Stunnel 4.10 does not compile with Visual Studio 7. After spending the past few days to get it to compile, I thought someone might find this useful. There is a change to the common.h that you need to hack. Basically, you need to include <winsock2.h> and <ws2tcpip.h> before <windows.h> to make it compile without any warning. The content of the make file(stunnel.mak) is below: !IF "$(CFG)" == "" CFG=stunnel - Release !MESSAGE No configuration specified. Defaulting to "stunnel - Release" !ENDIF !IF "$(CFG)" != "stunnel - Release" !MESSAGE Invalid configuration "$(CFG)" specified. !MESSAGE You can specify a configuration when running NMAKE !MESSAGE by defining the macro CFG on the command line.

Dear Members, I need to know the procedures to install a *.cer file into the format we using in stunnel.conf.actually lately we renewed a certificate from Verisign and they send a file which we save as test.cer .now I need to put this file into my format in stunnel.conf as follows key = /pbx_u01/apps/tomcat/current/conf/mnet-priv_nbk.pfx.pem cert = /pbx_u01/apps/tomcat/current/conf/mnet-priv_nbk.pfx.x509 since we are using tomcat as application server which is using stunnel as https port forwarder so advice the steps would be thanks at the earliest.
